Well its 2012 and i cant wait to visit my favourite cousins in Congress AZ which is near my most favourite place on earth `Wickenburg AZ, My wife and a I were there in June 2011 , We had a great time and met so many friendly people I in particular loved the Desert Caballeros Western Museum and spent ages chating to one particuler lady there , we`d give anything now we are both retirees to buy a property in Wickenburg only one problem is that we live in England and is so hard to move to the USA for older people even if we paid cash for a house,Wickenburg is a wonderfull town even if your a stupid english fool like me who went for a walk in the desert one day near Box Canyon and caught a Jumping Cholla Cactus in my hand which my Ameracian cousins found `hilarious` but at the end of the day I still love the area and the beautiful desert. As Arnie said – “I’ll be back

I visited the USA for the first time in my life last year2009 in May, I have cousins and relatives all over the US but my favourite cousin lives in a town called Congress not far from Wickenburg, he took me to see Wickenburg and I thought it was wonderful, I absolutely love Arizona , I have cousins who live in Pasadena California, but I tell you I would much rather live in the beautiful state of Arizona.
Unfortunately my wife could not be with me last year on my visit to Arizona, but next year in may 2010 we will be staying with my cousin in Congress for a few days and I just have to take her to see Wickenburg.
My wife is a schoolteacher and whilst I was in Wickenburg i took some video of the area around where the statue of a Lady with the suitcase is near the old-style steam engine, she let the kids in her class at school see the video and they were totally enthralled, most of the comments were where are all the people ! Nobody seemed to be out in the streets, and it looks just like something out of a cowboy film.
As for me I’m 64 years old my wife will retire in two years time and if it wasn’t for not being able to get our British pensions over their we would sell up and buy a nice little retirement home in or around the beautiful area of Wickenburg
