Mr. Riemers:
1. As I wrote earlier, one can take public transportation from Phoenix
SkyHarbor Airport to the hotel.
It takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes, which includes a 15 minute walk. The
walk should not be bad in February. This method only costs $4 per person.
I will post the detailed instructions for this method at some point before
the LNC Session.
2. Go to maps.google.com type in the hotels address. After that map
loads, type "attractions" into the search box. You will then get a map with
red dots. Start near the Arizona Grand Resort, and you will see the nearby
attractions.
I have to admit I had no idea Google Maps could do that, so I thank Mr.
Riemers for inspiring me to try it out.
Again - I am still not sure if LPHQ staff accepted the offer and signed a
contract for the Arizona Grand Hotel.

Joshua, any idea on transportation from the airport to the hotel? And
what other sites are near by for family sight seeing?

According to the website, the water park will reopen on February 13. 71
degrees sounds plenty warm to me for the use of the water park.

Just so you get an idea of the deal that our Helms-Briscoe representative
was able to get us, please take a look at the "rooms" that we will be
staying in next month, assuming Mr. Kraus or Mr. Benedict agreed to accept
the offer from the Arizona Grand:
http://www.arizonagrandresort.com/rooms/guest-suites/resort-suites/
These Resort Suites are not your typical Holiday Inn or Marriott hotel
rooms.
It is not likely that the on-site Water Park will be usable, since the
average daily high temperature in Phoenix in February is only 71 degrees.
Nevertheless, we should definitely ask to see the Water Park during our
hotel tour.
You might think that we don't "need" this kind of "luxury" for an LNC
Session, and you are probably correct. However, if we want to increase
attendance at our 2018 National Convention by making it more attractive for
families to attend the Convention, this hotel probably fits that requirement
more than a majority of our previous Convention sites.
Seeing the Arizona Grand in person will help you evaluate if my opinion
turns out to be correct or not.
