Flight Suggestion:
ETA in Phoenix: Between 3:00 - 5:00 PM on November 25 (Thu)
ETD from Phoenix : 4:00 PM onwards on November 28 (Sun)

	Participants should arrive in Phoenix between 3:00 - 4:00 pm.
	Pick-up rental car. Stay in Phoenix.

Nov 26 (Fri): Early drive to Grand Canyon
	4.5 hours scenic drive from Phoenix to Grand Canyon
	See Grand Canyon for the whole day. Description: A powerful and inspiring landscape, the Grand Canyon overwhelms our senses through its immense size; 277 river miles (446km) long, up to 18 miles (29km) wide, and a mile (1.6km) deep. Sunset at Hopi Point. No visit to Grand Canyon is complete unless we stayed for the sunset show. The whole canyon gets a reddish color and the show of color-light-shadows that the canyon is revealing in front of your eyes is just amazing. No pictures and no words can describe the beauty of the sunsets here! So don't forget to pack your tripod.

Nov 27 (Sat): Grand Canyon and Antelope Canyon and Lake Powell Cruise
	Sunrise at Powell Point. Wake up really early for the sunrise view of the Grand Canyon Then leave for Page, preferrably around 6:00 am in time for the 9:00 Photography Antelope Tour
	Drive 3 hours to Page. Description: Antelope Canyon is at once one of the most breathtaking and tranquil places on earth. Gently carved from the Navajo sandstone over the course of countless millenniums, the slot canyons are majestic and narrow passages, just enough space for a small group to walk the sandy floor - and for the occasional shafts of sunlight to shine down from above. Watch this video and get mesmerized: Antelope Canyon

	If you can't get enough of Page and we still have time to spare, how about taking a boat tour at the Lake Powell? Descrption: Lake Powell is the second-largest man-made lake in the United States. Cruising Lake Powell is like touring a huge sculpture park that will dramatically inspire all of your senses and is surrounded by the startling beauty of colorful rock canyon walls, rose colored sandy beaches and a night sky brilliant with shimmering stars. This breathtaking landscape extends from Page Arizona into southern Utah. For more info see: http://www.arizona-leisure.com/lake-powell-page-arizona.html

Category: Desserts
Style: American

Description:
i have a thanksgiving hang over and i was craving for baked sweet potatoes so i baked a small tray for myself....yeah, for myself, i'm living all by myself remember?

anyway, this is easy.... i just asked my co-worker how to make this while we were at 309 on my 15-minute ride home

Ingredients:
sweet potatoes - as many as you want
brown sugar
butter
marshmallows - small ones

Directions:
- wash your sweet potatoes very well (remember we're not peeling off the skin)

- cut the sweet potatoes into small pieces...not too small, maybe around 2 inches in diameter..set aside

- mix butter w/ brown sugar (i just made half a cup for 3 big pieces of of sweet potatoes and i just put like 1.5 tbsp of brown sugar or until sweet enough)

- make sure you melt the butter and sugar very well (microwave it for a bit if needed)

- now what i do is i dip each one of the sliced sweet potatoes on my mixture and i put it in a baking pan...

- after which i pour the remaining mixture on top of the sweet potatoes

- put some marshmallows on top of each sliced potatoes or you can sprinkle it with cinnamon powder

- cover the baking pan with a foil

- bake for 40 min at 400F

serve in a small bowl and add a few marshmallow for toppings....
