So, we have finally come up with a plan for our spring 2008 vacation...I think.
It took some compromising, since I, of course, wanted to go to Disneyland and he wanted to go to the Grand Canyon. Well, I was going to give in completely, but decided that 7 days in the GC would be a bit much. He is definitely outdoorsy, though. He could find trails to hike and all that stuff, but me...not so much. I'd like to see it, but beyond that I'm really not interested. He has no desire to go to Disneyland, from what I am getting from it anyway. But we'd both like to visit Vegas. He has been, but I have not. He went years ago, though. So please, check out what I've got here and see if there is anything you might change. Just as an FYI, at time of travel...me, female and 28, him, male and 36. We're not married and have no children at this time. But...who knows what we'd do in Vegas!!!
Day 1, Tuesday: Fly to Phoenix, stay overnight at Holiday Inn Express
Day 2, Wednesday: drive in rented convertible to Grand Canyon, overnight at The Grand Hotel
Day 3, Thursday: full day at Grand Canyon, overnight at The Grand Hotel
Day 4, Friday: drive to Vegas, overnight at New York, New York
Day 5, Saturday: full day in Vegas, overnight at New York, New York
Day 6, Sunday: drive to Disneyland, overnight at Paradise Pier
Day 7, Monday: full day Disneyland, overnight Paradise Pier
Day 8, Tuesday: full day California Adventure, overnight Paradise Pier
Day 9, Wednesday: fly out of Long Beach, back home
This looks like so much fun, but sooo tiring to me! Does it look like too much? I think that the driving days will be kind of nice though. We can go at our own pace. Sleep in a bit, scenic drives. As I said, though..I've never been out west and I'm the planner of the two of us. He has been, but will leave the planning up to me. I like it that way! I'm just a bit lost, so any direction or insight would be much appreciated!
