What sights are there to see in the Phoenix area? I have the opp

True, but not too much north. Either way, I still recommend taking 89A into Sedona, which is a beautiful trip.

You haven't asked for food recs, but I'm going to share one because it needs to be on your bucket list.Try Pizzeria Bianco. There are 2 Phoenix locations. Owner Chris Bianco has won a couple of James Beard awards. To my knowledge, his first one made him the only pizza chef to ever be awarded one.I think it's best to go alone so you can focus on the pizza without the distraction of any social conversations. It should be the pizza that you will find yourself comparing every other pizza to, because it represents the gold standard.He was also featured in the Netflix special Chef's Table: Pizza
