In-N-Out of Phoenix this week
By Laurie | October 9, 2010
| I spent most of last week in Phoenix on a business trip. I’m not big on traveling alone or with people I don’t know well, but I said yes for two reasons. 1) Lisa, one of my very best friends from high school, lives in the area. We don’t get to see each other very often since I am in Texas and she’s in Arizona. We did fly out to California to see her last year for her 30th birthday at Disney’s Club 33, but those trips are few and far between. At any rate, our planned get together didn’t end up working out due to her teaching schedule as well as it being midterm time. Boo. I’m hoping that if I go back again in the near future, we can make it happen.
The other reason I agreed? It’s simple: In-N-Out. |

Everyone knows how much I love a Double Double. The first Texas location won’t be ready until next year, so I had to get my fix. My co-workers got me a paper hat, and even though our dinner per diem was $60 per person, all it took to make me happy was a $6 combo. The first night we went to an expensive steak restaurant, the second day we went to Compass, Arizona’s only rotating restaurant (super expensive, not so great, and uber pretentious). Everyone agreed my meal was the best one we had on the entire trip. Yum! |
Other than the 6 hour delay and being forced to land in Tucson due to bad weather in Phoenix, it was a pretty good trip. I enjoyed spending more time with my colleagues from the Arlington office, and the weather was lovely in Arizona. I won’t lie, I also enjoyed my Double Double, animal style. Don’t worry, later that night I walked it off downtown when I made a trip to buy souvenirs at the Hard Rock cafe. I missed my husband and puppy, and it sure is good to be home. Next time it will be Dave’s turn to travel when he goes to Phoenix in a few weeks for business. I wish I could tag along. I’d get another Double Double all the way!
