Sun Therapy & Cheap Seats

Weary of winter? The Phoenix area is often called the Valley of the Sun. The 300-plus days of sunshine a year are a powerful attraction.

In winter, the Valley of the Sun shines. While most of the country is freezing (or just beginning to thaw out), the valley is usually sunny and warm.

Pam checked Travelocity for some sample fares:

Los Angeles - Phoenix: Flight + 4 nights in hotel for $243 (last minute deal)

Las Vegas - Phoenix: $217 Roundtrip

Dallas/ Ft Worth - Phoenix: Flight + 4 nights in hotel for $342 (last minute deal)

Minneapolis - Phoenix: $282-$420

If you check other travel sites (Priceline & Orbiz), you can probably beat these fares.

"WOW! I had a wonderful time at the Boot Camp. Your presentation was not only incredibly informative ... but FUN! Time just flew by." - Stella from New York
