Happy New Year!

Hi everyone!
Happy New Year...I have to start off by apologizing for not posting during the holidays. I had full intentions of posting some video blogs from interesting places in Arizona, however unfortunately my family and I were in a car accident last week which changed a lot of plans! Needless to say, we are all okay, just some whiplash, bumps and bruises. I still am going to chat a little about Arizona though as there are some really interesting places there that I love! Instead of a video blog I will show a few pics and tell you about them.

The Imperial Dunes Recreational Area
This is a huge area that actually is in California, just past the Mexico/Arizona border. The Sand Dunes cover approximately 40 miles of land and are loved by off road enthusiasts (as you can see a quad in the background). The Dunes formed from windblown sands from an ancient lake named Lake Cahuilla. Now here's a trivia question for you, post a comment or send me an email and let me know the answer...I will send you a Starbucks Gift Card if you are the first to get it right. What cult classic "sci-fi" sequel was filmed in and around Yuma, Arizona and the Imperial Dunes? No hints here...okay maybe one...a famous "gold bikini" was worn in the very first film to come out...hmmmm...
I will be back with a few more fun travel facts from Arizona in the next few days and give you some pics of the new collections arriving in the next couple of weeks! Lots of exciting things to come!
Beijos,
Tricia
