The Phoenician Resort (102)Join two commodity brokers who leave their high-pressure jobs behind to unwind in the desert of Scottsdale, Ariz. There, they check in at the beautiful Phoenician Resort—the Southwest's premier five-star resort.
The two friends take to the skies as they test their nerves at Fighter Combat International, a one-of-a-kind aerial adventure company run by former "top gun" pilots. Later, the friends hit the links at one of the three golf courses offered by the Phoenician, and they top off their stay with dinner at Mary Elaine's restaurant, which houses an award-winning wine collection.
