Nella: My husband and I have a tandem bicycle and we will do a lot of biking
and hiking.  I think it would be fun to visit your farm.  We are flying into
Tucson. Did anyone read the book Animal Vegetable Miracle?

Liz:

Its probably an hour to an hour and a half.  It depends on where you are in
Tucson.  It's not a bad drive, it's all on the interstate.

Will you be flying into Tucson or Phoenix?

What do you plan on doing while you're here?
