Break out the Rye Bread indeed!
So you are not a sports fanatic? Maybe you are just the occasional fair whether fan? One thing is for sure, Cactus League Spring training in Phoenix Arizona will have you painting your face in no time!
When I think about what it would cost me to take a trip across the county and see FOURTEEN different MLB Teams play, well I barely have enough money to buy a hot dog these days, much less a cross country sports trip.
With this in mind, I embark on Phoenix Arizona for a few short days and check into the Crowne Plaza Phoenix where my friends and I booked the CP Sports Getaway.
Crowne Plaza Phoenix (http://www.cpphoenix.com/) is perfectly located a hop, skip and a jump away from all 11 Cactus League Spring Training complexes. This quick and easy access has transformed my friends and I into baseball aficionados. We have secured tickets to see the Seattle Mariners, San Diego Padres, Korea and Japan ( in town for exhibition games) the Los Angeles Dodgers, Oakland A's, Anaheim Angels, San Diego Giants, Chicago Cubs and Kansas City Royals for about $17.00 a ticket.
Look, I am from Seattle and I paid taxes on that Stadium for a long time. Its beautiful, In fact its AWESOME. But for $17.00 you can park, for about an hour. There is no way you are getting inside to see a game for $17.00. For what I paid for all my tickets combined, I could maybe have gotten a seat in the outfield, maybe.
In fact I am seeing so many games, that I have started talking smack to anyone who will listen. Suddenly when I knew nothing except what baseball player was dating what movie star, I am talking stats. I just told the bellman that the Giants look good this season and my room attendant that the Padres could go all the way. I am like…..well I am like Sports Center. I am the coolest person I know when it comes to baseball. I digress......
The point is that I am here in beautiful warm Phoenix Arizona for four days. I paid $129.00 RT on a flight with Southwest Airlines. I paid around $350.00 total for my room for four days, split between my fabulous friends and myself. It cost $119.00 total for 1 ticket to 7 games of front row baseball. Most importantly when my husband says in his sarcastic tone “hey honey how was shopping and getting your nails done with the girls….?” I can say "oh that was ok, but I have to tell you, Manny may have worn his welcome out in Boston, but I think he will be pretty good for LA………!"
Come to Phoenix Arizona for Cactus League Spring Training and stay at Crowne Plaza Phoenix. Become your own baseball aficionado. http://www.cpphoenix.com/

What do you do in Phoenix when it rains?
Oh Sweet Warm Sunny February. Such a lovely time to be in Phoenix, well, on most days anyways. My shameful display of bragging about the winter weather has deposited a dark cloud over my head. Today it hailed. HAILED in the desert! Is this a joke? There is no hail in the desert! Maybe a Hail Mary at the end of a Cardinal’s game, but no hail!!
So when the weather outside is frightful in Phoenix what do we do? Today we are getting ready to play Wii™ Bowling in the bar for beers! 99º The Bar is open daily from 4PM to 10PM serving up the cocktails, yummy Appetizers and Dinner. Grab a beer and sign up for a Wii™ tournament, where you can battle your bar mates for ultimate Wii™ Supremacy!
The 2009 NBA ALL STAR GAME WEEK has kicked off in Phoenix. 99º The Bar has a plethora of Flat Screen TV's for you to follow all the slam dunk action.
Coming in for the Presidents Day Soccer Tournament in Phoenix? We still have a few rooms left. Book online now at www.cpphoenix.com
Want to know another nice thing to do in the rainy weather? Our North Phoenix Hotel offers an outdoor pool that is heated! Nothing better than an afternoon soak in the rain....unless there is lightening. Being in the outdoor pool when there is lightening is not so much fun. My hair has never been the same.....you may want to come in and enjoy the indoor pool and spa.
What is the best thing about the rain in Phoenix? It is short and sweet. I know that Seattle rain. That rain is long and painful. In Phoenix, soon the showers will clear and the light will shine on all the beautiful Cactus Spring Training Baseball fields, like little diamonds in the sun. Reminding me to ask you, where are you going to stay for those Spring Training Games in Phoenix?
