[tps_header]Tired of blizzards and frustrating fluctuating temperatures? Get out of the confused weather system and make your way to the desert! America’s beloved Southwest cities of Mesa and Phoenix guarantee blue skies, golden sunshine and warm, warm days. And that’s not all. There is so much to see and do in both places, that you’ll never get bored! Check out the five things you need to see and do in Mesa and Phoenix.[\/tps_header]<\/p>\n

Float<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After being folded up like a deckchair in your airplane seat, combat jetlag and reenergize your blood circulation with 60 serene minutes “floating” in an egg-shaped pod at True Rest Float Spa<\/a>, in neighboring Gilbert. Filled with 10 inches of an Epsom Salt\/water solution (1,000 pounds of salt in 180 gallons of water for each pod, which makes the water extremely buoyant), lay back, clear your mind and feel that unwanted stress and tension float away. Other common benefits are relief from insomnia, migraines, joint pain and fatigue, reduces bloating and increases focus.<\/p>\n

Eat<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Travelling is fun, but also can use a lot of energy. Make sure you keep up your strength by consuming tasty local food regularly\u201dwell, that’s what we do! For breakfast, The Coffee Shop<\/a> at Agritopia offers up a satisfying selection of house-made baked goods and hearty breakfast dishes. Flower Child<\/a> is not your typical fast food joint. Here at this fast-casual spot, expect high quality, flavoursome healthy food in the forms of salads, bowls, soups and wraps. We fell in food-love with the yummy Forbidden Rice bowl (black pearl, red japonica, snap pea, bok choy, broccoli, carrot, onion, toasted sesame and red chili). Bite into mouthwatering tacos for dinner at Joyride Taco House<\/a>. Featuring succulent slow-roasted meats tucked into house-made tortillas, you’ll be back more than once to sample the menu.<\/p>\n

Spa<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For us, no vacation is complete without a trip to the spa. And The Centre for Well-Being, Luxury Scottsdale Spa<\/a> is a must-visit! This Forbes four-star rated, 22,000 square-foot facility offers pampering from head-to-toe and features a bevy of luxurious treatments such as holistic massage, hot stone rituals, and facials. Before your treatment, relax in the lounge while sipping on artisanal tea. Complete your time at the spa with a guided meditation session in the meditation atrium.<\/p>\n

Hike<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Arizona is known for its hiking, and enthusiasts will appreciate the amount of trails there are (20 in Mesa alone). One hike you need to add to your itinerary is Mesa’s iconic Wind Cave Trail. Located in the popular Usery Mountain Regional Park<\/a>, the three-mile round-trip trail has hikers winding their way up the mountain through the Sonoran Desert’s amazing flora and, once at the cave, you will find hanging rock daisies and a spectacular vantage point to view the surrounding plains.<\/p>\n

Sleep<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of Arizona’s top resorts is The Phoenician<\/a>. Situated at the base of the southeast side of Camelback Mountain, The Phoenician offers outstanding luxury accommodations with oodles of amenities. Of course we died and went to heaven in our stunning suite. But we were also blown away by the incredible dining\u201dthere are 10 places (yes, 10!) to eat on-site including award-winning J&G Steakhouse<\/a>; the Cactus Garden, which spans two acres and comprises of 250 varieties of cacti and succulents from around the world; and the spa facility (see reason #3 above). There is so much to see, do, and eat on this 250-acre property, you could happily not leave the resort for your entire stay!<\/p>\n
