Scottsdale,
AZ – October 2016 / Newsmaker Alert /
Come Nov. 9, no matter the outcome,
millions of Americans will let out a long exhale, comforted by the knowledge
that at least two years separate them from another Presidential campaign
season. It’s a perfect time to go someplace wild and remote, where Wi-Fi
and cellular coverage is limited-to-nil—but no one really minds. After
all, these are destinations where plenty of revitalizing scenery and cleansing
