My 36-hour stay in the Mountain Shadows Resort, a mid-century modern dream in Paradise Valley. If you are looking for a hotel in the greater Phoenix area than look no further than Mountain Shadows Resort, the pool alone will seal the deal!
The end of June/beginning of July is typically the hottest part of the summer in Phoenix. So Mr. Misadventures and I jumped at the chance to escape to Alaska and check out Steamboat Bay Fishing Club on Noyes Island. Steamboat Bay is the closest lodge to the best fishing grounds in Southeast Alaska, and in particular, to the best king salmon. One of the things I miss most since moving to Arizona is access to fresh seafood so what better way to treat myself than to experience lodge life on an island where I can practically reach my hand in the water and grab one of the more than 20 species of sports fish?!
