We had 29 TPUS with RCI set to expire in January and we were a little bit late into the game. So after speaking with the RCI agent we found 3 weeks in a 2 bedroom at the Sedona Pines just outside Sedona. We can use their sister resort for swimming as well as our Day Use at Villa Mirage in Scottsdale.

I found airfare for my Parents and I for $158 per person on Southwest with perfect flights. Working on the car am thinking to rent an SUV.

I heard that Fratelli's in Flagstaff(Phoenix Ave. Location) has some awesome Pizza and their Route 66 pizza is out of this world. Down in the Valley I want to try Joes' Farm Grill in Gilbert off Higby Rd. I saw them on Food TV Diners and they have solid BBQ. You wait in line to order and then sit down and enjoy some amazing BBQ.

In Flagstaff I would like to see the town that I have never been to. We have stayed down in the Valley(Scottsdale). Once at Four Season Troon North and the other time at the Sheraton and visited Sedona on Christmas Day in 2001. There was snow on the ground.

We hope to go to the Hot Springs around Sedona tour Prescott and head down to the Valley as well.

We got three weeks for 29 TPU in the 2 Bedroom Cottage at the Sedona Pines and your suggestions about the resort are most appreciative. I know the second bedroom is off the main porch. If you have photos of the 2nd bedroom and bathroom please post them as I have not found them.

Has the WiFI situation been updated as I read there was spotty WiFi?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a great deal, we enjoy Sedona in December too. This year will be in Scottsdale for Christmas week.

May want to try a day trip to Jerome and tour the mining museum there, we enjoyed that and its not as far as the trip down to Phoenix area.

Yes I was planning on going to Jerome as well. I love the Red Rocks, Pine Trees around Sedona.
