I am going to Phoenix a few weeks for a conference at the Phoenician, but I am flying out a couple days early to stay w/a friend. I don't really want to go shopping b/c I don't want to pack it w/me for the return flight, and I need to save up for Christmas gifts. (Unless there are any shops that are unique to Phoenix that shouldn't be missed?) I was thinking about hiking up Camelback Mountain - I've never been truly hiking before, but I am in good shape. Would it be really hard for me? Can I just wear my running shoes? I also want to check out Pizzeria Bianco - maybe on a Sunday night? Any tips on minimizing my wait time? What else do you recommend that I do? I always bring back something uniquely edible (and easily transported back home) for my family - any suggestions? Thanks
