First stop was to get a scenic view of Phoenix up on one of the mountains. Puja struggled with the windy roads - felt sick and ill - Ashu and I just had to laugh and remind her of yesterday's nasty calamari. The view though was lovely and the weather HOT HOT HOT!
Next stop was for lunch - and my introduction to PF Changs. Little was I to know that this forst visit would turn into an obsession. Awesome chicken fried rice, chilly chicken and some dodgy lamb - nice cocktails and something amazing happened.
Puja hated her martini and the waitress noticed. She told her manager and he came over - apologized and removed it from the bill. Added to that, she got a free ginger beer. I mean seriously!! This kind of thing would never happen in the UK. People just appear to be so nice here!
After a brief mall stop we were back to hanging out at home and getting ready for a night out in Mill Avenue. Oh and picking Chot up from the airport.
We had a great time in the evening and were joined by our friends Maria, Jodi (we met them in India two years ago for Bab's wedding) and Jodi's boyfriend Hunter. It was civilized to begin with but then quickly descended into a crazy drink fueled night which took us to places I cannot quite remember. We had some drinking games, rolling on wet grass, some tripping over massive bins, some push-ups in the middle of the street and some gaming at a casino (thanks to Maria's brother Frankie).
All in all an awesome night and great time spent with family and friends. Chot will join me for my last three days of my adventure. The plan is to drive to Seligman tomorrow and then onto Needles and to spend the night in Laughlin...but the Vegas urge remains!! Let's see what happens tomorrow!
