We completely collapsed that night in our Airbnb in Juriquilla, and didn’t notice how beautiful the location was until the morning. We arrived late last night at the Querétaro airport. Customs was actually very easy, just a small cue line. The baggage carousel was just six steps away. We had a little bit of confusion…
Our new journey begins today! This is us 10 minutes before we left for the airport. We look exhausted and frazzled, we know, but we were ready to celebrate! Champagne has never tasted so good!

Hollywood hipsters, drive-in theaters, and rock’n’roll defined the 1950s. Even before Scottsdale had a downtown of big name shops, upscale dining, and artsy galleries, Valley Ho was the private retreat for the rich and famous. Today, it’s a glimpse into the past with the modern luxury of today. Designed by Edward L. Varney in 1956,…

The food is tremendous, and the artistic presentation and creative preparation really make you forget where you are and what’s around you.
