Drink lots and lots and lots of water! The Guides will have tons; always take them up on their offers of water. It is really dry there (especially in Sedona) so you'll really need it!

ENJOY YOURSELVES AND HAVE A GREAT TIME! IMHO, this is a fabulous itinerary, and you're bound to have a fabulous time!

Be sure & come back & tell us all about your trip!

Check out the temps this week in the areas to be visited. This week in Sedona Friday the 28th High of 117 and low 89 degrees. We will be there and Oh Boy....a whole lot of heat for us where we seldom never go above 90 degrees. I hear it is a "dry" heat but much like my kitchen oven, hot IS hot. Like Sayhello stated drink tons of water.

Thanks for the tip. The temp here (upstate NY) is just like yours - so it will be an adjustment for us too. Have a great time!

Thanks, we can compare notes when we return. Packing should be very light for shorts and "T"s don't take up much space. More space for my wife and daughter to buy "chachkies".(sp?)

We leave tomorrow and we cannot wait. This is our first ABD trip. I am sure I overpacked. Who knew tee sorts and shorts could take so much space! ✈

We are flying out next Tuesday - could not get a flight out there before noon on Wednesday.

Burlington . I graduated from SUNY Plattsburgh - some good times there.

Pack some of the powdered packets of Gatorade or a similar drink. The Adventure Guides will have bottles of water, but you can add these to replace some electrolytes. Plus, they are lightweight and don't take up room in your luggage.

Pack a bandana for the Jeep tour through Monument Valley. It gets dusty, and it's nice to be able to cover your face.

We also flew out yesterday since we couldn't get there before noon today. Staying at the airport Hilton. They are nice here. They took us to a great place in Tempe for dinner and then picked us up when we were done. Also a free shuttle back to the airport today. Still adjusting to the three hour time difference.

We are staying at the Holiday Inn near the airport. Have a wonderful time. We will need to compare notes when we get back

I assume it's "Skinny Mike" (Mike Hage). Mike was a shadow guide when I did this trip in 2008. He's a great guy!
