Two Must-Try Dining Choices in Sedona

Good Eats In Sedona, AZ

Dear Polite Travelers,

Due to tourist overload in Sedona, we decided to cut our visit short...like three days short.  Imagine, driving nearly a thousand miles to a destination, only to drive home after three days.  Yep.  Beautiful setting, but immensely too busy.

Besides Sedona’s natural beauty, it is also known for some great eats.  Unfortunately, with our limited time in Sedona, we dined at only two restaurants.  Actually, we only ordered takeout from one and had a glass of wine at the other.  In any case, these two finds are, indeed, finds.

Make Reservations, Wait or Takeout at Pisa Lisa Restaurant

Pisa Lisa is a favorite with locals and tourists alike.  You’ll notice a steady line of people checking in to find out if their table is ready.  We arrived early, at 3:45, and we still had an hour wait.  Because of the wait and the place was packed full of non-mask-wearing people, we opted for takeout.  Best yet.  They had a few small tables outdoors.  So, we waited for our pizza while sipping on an excellent California Chardonnay. 

Our Primo Portobello pizza at $17 was yummy.  The crust was thin and a bit chewy—which I love—lightly covered with marinara, provolone, mozzarella, a mixture of mushrooms, herbs, and arugula.

We Should Have Eaten at Picazzo's!

Even the outside of Picazzo's screams, “You’ll be comfortable here!”  And we were.  Since we had leftover pizza from the night before, we just ordered a glass of wine at a small table in the bar.  We were early, and the tables are set far from one another, so we felt safe removing our masks and enjoying the yummy California Vista Point Chardonnay—at “Healthy Hour” prices—mixed with a warm, friendly atmosphere.

Picazzo's offers a varied menu with healthy alternatives, like gluten-free, vegan, allergy sensitive, organic, and non-GMO options.  It also appears to be a local hangout for those seeking a healthy, yet delicious pizza.  I’m guessing about the “delicious” nature of the food based on the response of the patrons we observed.   All seemed happy with their choices. 

Until next time...happy travels, my polite travelers!

Hotel Review: Comfort Inn Downtown Morro Bay, CA

Old, Needs Update, but Perfectly Located Revised 4/2021 Dear Polite Traveler, I’ve always wanted to visit our central coast, an ocean town known for its big rock.  Staying in a hotel one block from the coast...dreamy.  The Comfort Inn Downtown is central to just about everything and overlooks a majestic bay with, yes, a huge rock.  This hotel is adequate, and the staff is accommodating .  Most importantly, it is inexpensive for this area, especially considering the view.  Note : Follow CDC and county guidelines when visiting.  Always wear your face mask when in public.   Also, during the pandemic, some amenities may not be available.  Please remember, this is only temporary. The Positives Proximity to the shore, the wharf, and Morro Rock Fitness center/gym equipped with up-to-date machine Guest laundry Free hot breakfast: limited Free WIFI Free on-site parking Interior corridors—excellent for cold weather C...

Pluses & Minuses of The Hyatt House Vacaville

Beautiful But Needs Adjustments to its Accessible Rooms My Dear Polite Travelers I recently read about a new Hyatt House and since I needed a short brain-tidy-vaca near my home base in Davis, CA, I ventured twenty miles west to the sprawling city of Vacaville, the shopping mecca of our general area.  The Lobby/Bar/Restaurant Walking into the lobby, I noted calming tones, striking art, décor, and welcoming faces.  The registration staff was delightful and efficient.  The attractive bar and eating area are tastefully decorated and have ample seating areas. In fact, the entire area was so lovely that I brought many of those decorating ideas home with me.  The restaurant’s menu was limited and similar to what is typically found at bars: hamburgers, pizzas… etc.  I ordered a hamburger which was delivered overcooked.  Grr… Accessible Room 133 First off, this is a gorgeous room filled with outstanding artwork.  It includes a kitchenette, small ...

Cruise Room Review: Grand Princess L307

Comfy, Rocking Room on the Grand Princess Revised 4/2021 Dear Polite Traveler, What does a person really want in a cruise ship stateroom?  Well, I suppose the answer would be different with each passenger.  For my hubby and I, we wanted to be able to see the ocean and be comfortable.  Since this was a relatively chilly weather cruise, we skipped a balcony room and chose an outside cabin with a window.  Not many were available when we decided on an Alaskan cruise anyway.  Even so, I think ours was perfect.  Not too small and not too expensive.  After all, this is our second Alaskan cruise, so I did not feel it granted an extravagant suite.  We are not that type anyway. Note : Follow CDC and Princess guidelines when visiting.  Always wear your face mask when in public.  Where’s our room? We knew our room was on the Lido deck.  Check.  Nevertheless, we couldn’t find cabin 307.  Ever...
