Start Your Boat Plan Building List

Utah is one hour ahead during the summer months. Also, compare costs of renting out of Las Vegas vs. Should you opt to use Las Vegas as your staging city, you would need to rearrange your itinerary slightly. Your itinerary would look more like this. Wow, Alley. Thank you so much.

This is amazing. I appreciate this so much. Your itineraries are beyond impressive. As is your thoughtfulness and care in sharing your expertise and time. Thank Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo you. Leaving as soon as next week.

I live in California and my mom in Vegas. Flying into Vegas and having dinner with mom before we hit the road the next day. My concerns are weather in March and not booking hotels in advance vs just landing where we land at night.

And looking at just doing Utah vs adding in Arizona. I already have a National Parks Pass. And would love to be somewhere amazing on my birthday the 21st!!!

Hi Jamie, Thanks so much for your compliments, I really appreciate them! You have to realize that late March is Spring Break for a lot of U. Overnight at Grand Canyon South Rim. Please feel free to write in again, or contact me directly at [email protected] if I can be of further assistance.Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Cruise Sightseeing Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo

We are planning a trip for a day tour of the Southwest in late September this year. We are open to flying in and out of any of the major airports.

One way to and from Atlanta. We will also be traveling with an 8 year old almost 9 by then , so ideally no car drives longer than 5 hours on any given day. Thank you for all the helpful information. Be sure to check prices, rental car options, etc. Whatever you decide, make advance reservations for ALL hotels and guided tours. Hi there! I would value your feedback on our upcoming trip. We are willing to fly into one location and fly out of another.

We would like to do the grand circle with Grand Canyon a must, but would also like to Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo see Sequoia NP�. Hi Greta! More on that in a minute. Usually, they prefer that you drop the vehicle off at the same place you picked it up, and charge hefty fees for one-way different city drop-offs. Hi Alley: I am blown away by your knowledge and expertise of this incredibly wonderful area.

My sister and I and our husbands are planning a two week trip from mid Sept to end of Sept this year. We are flying into Phoenix and flying out of Las Vegas.

We want to visit the Grand Canyon, Zion and Bryce as the highlights adding in time to see Sedona as well. We have all been to Phoenix and Vegas and are not planning to spend time in these cities.

We are open to all and any additional sites as Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo we have not traveled in this area before. Hey Vivian! Thanks for your compliments. If that does not appeal, hit the sights accessible by the Mt. George, UT, has several fine spa resorts to choose from. Hope that helps! Hi Alley, Your itineraries are amazing!! We want to be back in Vegas by Friday April 9th. We want to be back in Vegas by Friday, April 9th so we can have the full day Saturday to relax after a week of nonstop hikes!

Hey Sarah, and thanks for your compliments! Moab, UT, is simply too far a swing out of your way to be realistic this time around. Plus you need to plan on days in that area in order to do it justice. Most first-time visitors find days is ample for a fulfilling visit.Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Yahoo Sightseeing Cruise Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo

Ask them about combining your slot canyon tour with a visit to Coral Pink Sand Dunes! We are looking to plan a 14 day or so trip from Ca to the southwest. We are a fun family of 4. Parents are late 40s reasonably fit � not crazy fit.

We just have loose plans right now and are thinking of renting either an RV or a camper van like adventure van was thinking that would give us more flexibility where to stay.

We are planning on bringing our tent as well as the van We are open to sometimes staying at a not too expensive hotel. I saw you had some suggestions of doing whitewater rafting that sounds awesome! Please can you recommend places to stay, campgrounds , rv sites that are fun for the Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo whole family and some off the beaten path.

What advanced permits do I need? Or am I too late for that? Places to eat , fun things to do or must see sites along the way. Hi Tracey, Thanks a lot for your compliments, I really appreciate them! Otherwise, your RV will just be a tin can sitting in the sun, and all that that implies. You should definitely check and see if that rule applies during your proposed timeframe. If you wanted to do some white water rafting, this would be the place to do it. I would plan for at least 1 more day there.

Take 1 night away from Bryce Canyon to accommodate that, if desired. Bryce is a small enough area so that a 1 night stay will be sufficient to have Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo a fulfilling visit. If RV site availability or lack thereof dictates, you might need to be prepared to flip-flop this itinerary. Feel free to write in again if you need to bounce more ideas off us, either here or by private e-mail at [email protected] Good luck and safe travels! Hi Alley, Thanks so much for your amazing information. Thanks very much Tracey.

It would probably be most convenient for you to hit it between Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef. If possible, try to carve out an extra day so you can spend the night in that area. I know that after a good soak, the last thing I want to do is make a long drive! Another possibility, that would require a serious retooling of your itinerary, would be the town of Ouray, CO. Alley, Charleston Sightseeing Cruise YahooCharleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo trong> You are amazing!! My husband and I are flying to Vegas on Oct. We are used the itinerary that you gave to Tracey to map out our trip.

Super helpful! We have booked everything today, thanks to your awesome guidance. Thank you!! Teresa Daiker. Hi Teresa, Thank you for letting us know that our guidance helped you as well! Thinking of flying in to either Phoenix or Vegas for a day trip with our 6 year old grandson and flying home out of the other. Suggestions to see or stay in St. George before Zion or is ths locartion in st. We want to skip monument valley and Page as we have done those in the past. We are trying to see the best way to get from moab to Petrified forest then Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo onto Williams to take the Grand canyon railway into the GC for an overnight stay 2 nights in the park.

Any suggestions you have is appreciated. I saw The Inn Resort in St. George that just looks amazing for a 2 night relaxing stay before flying home from Vegas if that route works.

Thank you for any information. Would be looking at June 11th on. Be sure that your vehicle is fully fueled and that you have adequate water and snacks to tide you over until you get to Bluff, UT. Whether that will still be the case when you come through, remains to be seen, but better to err on the side of caution in this regard. If you need to bounce any more ideas off me, feel free to e-mail me at [email Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo protected] Otherwise, good luck and safe travels!

Hello Alley! We are in our mid thirties. Thanks, and have a great evening! Hi Kepler, First of all, there is no commercial air service into Sedona. I have read through a bunch of these comments but would like your feedback on a trip I am planning for May 29th to June 10th.

I will be renting a camper van with a friend. I have an makeshift itinerary planned and any feedback or suggestions would be great!

Hi Courtnee! Wow, this is a full itinerary, and you have planned it quite well. For example, on day 1, you propose to get right on the road and maybe do some hiking in Zion. Long story short, you may be wiped out by the time you complete this hike. You Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Yahoo Cruise Charleston Sightseeing may not have the energy or gumption to hike to the Emerald Pools at that point, so be prepared to either give it a miss, or scoot it to the following morning when you were planning to do the Watchman Trail.

Speaking of where you might stay, if you were wanting to have access to an electrical hook-up for air conditioning, you should probably plan on staying at an RV park in Springdale, UT. You might consider just going directly to Lower Calf Creek first thing in the morning.

You might even consider adding a 2nd night to your stay at Bryce. I think you also should give at least another night to Moab, UT. You might be able to realistically hit Horseshoe Bend for sunset, but IMO, sunrise the next day would be Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo a better time to visit. Then you can enjoy cooler temperatures a definite plus at that time of year and smaller crowds. If you are genuinely interested in obtaining a permit to hike The Wave , the online lottery for June is taking place now!

I would strongly recommend you apply for that sometime this month as 48 spaces will be given out in that manner. Last but not least, you have given yourself what is likely to be too many days at the Grand Canyon. For most first-time visitors, days is plenty to have a full and memorable experience. The only reason for staying longer would be if you wanted to take labor-intensive day hikes each day of your visit, which is certainly possible, but not essential for a fun and enjoyable experience.

Again, apologies Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo for this getting cut off in the previous reply, I have no idea why that happened! Feel free to write in again if you need to bounce more questions off us. Thank you so much for your response and help! Would you recommend staying on BLM land or other free camping places to save money. They are on a first come first serve basis and I do not know how fast they will fill during busy season.

We do not mind not having electricity and just paying for showers at different locations. Hey again, Courtnee! Your camper van will be uncomfortably warm at night, and sightseeing is no fun after a night spent sweltering. You may be able to pull off BLM camping in higher elevations, but as you have deduced, these areas could Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Yahoo Cruise Sightseeing Charleston fill fast during peak travel season, which June definitely falls under. Hi Alley � I am so happy I found this site!

Anyway, We decided to try and put together a trip for my daughters college graduation with our other 2 adult children ages 22,24, We have a limited timeframe due to some other commitments. We are thinking May 14 � 22 with a small flexibility window. We are all in pretty good physical shape and like to hike as well as some adventure sports. We definitely want to do Moab white water rafting, horseback riding � on the fence about ATV �.

We were thinking possibly doing a houseboat at Lake Powell will it be too cold at night and water temp? I would like to see the Grand Canyon but, Zion and Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Bryce sound interesting too? I have been reading a lot about different hiking trails and areas � we can be flexible due to Covid and late planning but, I would like to figure out flights and lodging asap! Anyway, I have nothing booked as of now and the more I read the more confused I get fly into where?

Things not to miss? Any help with putting together an itinerary would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much! Love this site! Hi Beth! Your inquiry posted perfectly, I am sorry for the delay in reply on my end, I was out of town for a few days! The timeframe you describe is definitely limited. You are going to have to trim down your wish list unless you want to spend the better part of your vacation Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Cruise Charleston Yahoo Sightseeing Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo behind the wheel of your car. A smaller boat rental, or perhaps a kayak tour, may be a better use of your time.

Whatever you decide for this leg of the drive, be sure to travel to Bryce Canyon via Scenic Byway Drive to Kanab, UT, 90 minutes from park, for overnight. If hotel availability is a problem in certain areas, you might also try doing this itinerary in reverse order.

Feel free to write in again, or e-mail me personally at [email protected] if you need to bounce more ideas off us. Hi Alley � sorry for the double post � I could not see my first post.

So, my second post is shorter and as soon as I hit Post, I saw your response! Thank you so much for your detailed answer Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo to my first post. I love that you have such vast knowledge and suggestions about good alternatives for almost anything. I am now pretty much sure that an RV around March 15 is asking for trouble.

Hey again, Ruxandra, Glad you saw your original post! March 15th could bring anything from a teaser of summer weather to a late-season blizzard, so best to play it safe in that regard.

Hi Alley, love all the itineraries, ideas, and helpful suggestions. So, like everyone else, I come to ask for help too. Since it was our first time in an RV, we were a bit shy in terms of what we could accomplish distance-wise before the kids would need to get out and move.

And this is where I have a few questions: can it be done? I Charleston Sightseeing Cruise YahoCharleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo o saw for example that Zion has a tunnel that has some size restrictions. Can you drive the big ice cream truck through some of these beautiful parks? I also saw you referenced some insurance issues with the RVs if one gets off paved roads�so that is interesting.

And as a funny aside, last summer I remember we had to sign that we would not take the RV to the Death Valley!

Thank you in advance for any help, and advice! Hi Ruxandra, What a beautiful name! Can your proposed Southwest U. RV trip be done? Yes, with some small caveats. Because in late March, you may still be limited to renting a winterized RV. Not that that would ruin your vacation, per se, but you would be limited to just using your electrical hook-up Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Yahoo Cruise Sightseeing Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo and not your water or sewer to minimize the probability of these lines freezing should the nighttime temperatures dip down below zero.

Believe it or not, that sort of thing can and does happen, even in late March, in the higher elevations, particularly Bryce Canyon and the Grand Canyon. CruiseAmerica is a popular one in the Southwest U. If that sounds expensive and a bit inconvenient, I get it, so you might consider leaving your RV parked in Springdale, UT there are a number of fine RV parks to choose from in this area , and using the shuttle system to get around the park.

Even if you were to forego the RV rental and opt for a standard passenger car, the same limitations would apply. Now would not be too soon, people are chomping Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo at the bit to get out and travel after all these lockdowns! If you do go the RV route, be sure you book stays in developed RV parks so you have access to electrical hook-ups and reliable heat. I hope that covered all your questions!

If not, feel free to write in again if you need to bounce more ideas off us. Thank you in advance for your wise guidance! I am soaking up every single post. We are traveling from the east coast in and out of Las Vegas April th for a trip to Northern Arizona. We are a family of 5, with 13 yr old triplets. My best friend lives in Vegas and will pick us up, help us with supplies and give us a place to stay our first and last Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo nights. Does this sound manageable?

What am I missing or not thinking of? Any tips or tricks for these legs of the journey? Must see sights of places to eat along the way? I really want my kids to fall in love with the NPs, as my husband and I have!

Would love your insights!! You are a treasure! Hi Margaret, and thanks for your nice compliments! Your itinerary looks pretty fun, and well-paced. That has turned a 3-hour drive into more like 5 hours. With twists and turns on par with the Antelope Canyons, this is a short but memorable walk offering up classic slot canyon scenery, and some unique geological features. While a guided tour is not required to get to Peek-A-Boo, we strongly recommend that you take one, because while the walk Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo through the canyon itself is not difficult, the drive to get there is.

The walk to the entrance of the initial slot is via a typically dry streambed, which is usually full of deep sand. As the canyon walls become higher and closer together, they suddenly open up as the second slot connects with the Buckskin Gulch.

Hikers are required to pay a self-permitting fee at the kiosk by the trailhead. However, if recent weather has brought any moisture whatsoever, the HRVR can turn into a muddy, impassable mess. Here again, a guided tour would get your family to Wire Pass Canyon and back in one piece, and turn you onto features you might have missed trying to find your own way. Whatever you decide to do, be sure to reserve all guided tours Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo in advance. Now would not be too soon to start making bookings.

Also, be sure that you stay at developed RV parks so you can have access to reliable heat at night. Good luck, safe travels, and Happy New Year! We are seniors high 60s; decent shape and have never visited this part of the country. Being retired, we are looking at a trip of days in the mid-April to mid May timeframe. Any suggestions? Thanks so much. Hey Dan! Having made the drive from Arizona to Texas a few times myself, using several different routes, I know it can be done in 2 days each way.

Should that stretch of road reopen, then the drive will be more along the lines of hours. If you would like to run any ideas by us, feel Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo free to write in again! Soooooo inspiring.

Thinking about doing this with my family of four. My kids 11 and 4 have never been out West at all so we definitely want to remedy that! Do you mind if I ask what rental vehicle you guys chose? They offer unlimited mileage and some amenities that would be really nice to have for such a long road trip. I figure if we can manage to avoid staying in a hotel the majority of the time the trip should cost less than renting a car and staying in a hotel and it should be cheaper than renting an RV.

What do you think? Is it possible to approach it that way with a family of 4 or am I fooling myself? Hey Brian! By all means, though, Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo shop around, and determine who can offer you the best deal and service. Also, fees for RV park stays in some areas can, unbelievably, be comparable to staying in a hotel with less elbow room. Where you can potentially save a good chunk of change is food costs.

By not eating at restaurants 3 meals a day, you can avoid the financial and nutritional pitfalls that most families have to deal with. Another factor affecting the feasibility of your RV vacation is the time of year you plan to do it. That means, no hooking up to water or sewer. Also, you may find that many RV parks are closed at that time of year. Reliable air conditioning can make all the difference between a pleasant stay and a sweltering nightmare. I hope that Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo helps! If you have further questions, feel free to write in again.

So much to see, so little time!! If your R2R2R involves camping overnight in the Inner Canyon, you must have a backcountry camping permit to do so, or reservations at Phantom Ranch.

Hopefully you have those in order if you were planning to get some sleep anywhere below the North or South Rim. The main deciding factor in the feasibility of that route will be whether the Navajo Nation decides to keep attractions on their lands closed to outsiders.

They have done this to mitigate the spread of COVID among reservation residents, so while it is possible to drive through the reservation, they ask that non-reservation residents not stop and interact with tribe members. This means your vehicle should be fully fueled, and Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo you should carry adequate water and snacks to tide your group over until you reach your next off-reservation destination. Mesa Verde and Page, AZ, are both off-reservation. If you take us up on this suggestion, be sure you drive from Capitol Reef to Bryce via Scenic Byway This is one of the most stunning highways in the Southwest, if not the whole USA, and you will have a great time!

You can easily make a day of it with a hike to Lower Calf Creek Falls if you wish. Hi Alley, I am reposting this because I finally figured out how to start my own conversation without jumping in on someone else.

My boyfriend and I are heading to Arizona March April 3rd and we would like to make the best use of my time. Can Charleston Sightseeing Cruise YaCharleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo hoo you suggest an itinerary. That is the only reservation I have so far.

March Hike Cathedral Rock not sure what trail to take, I would like the most scenic Would there be time to squeeze in another short hike in the area before sunset? March More scenic hikes any suggestions? March 30 check out of Sky Ranch, drive to Flagstaff.

We will drive to Page and stay the night any lodging suggestions would be wonderful. March 31 Hike horseshoe bend I believe this is the one that you suggested the photo tour. Hi Kris! Thanks for starting your own conversation on this thread. I took the liberty of deleting your first comment as a result. That is the National Park, where the iconic, picture-postcard views can be had.

Depending on how you are Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo pulled off the river, the raft trip can last anywhere from hours. That will add another hours to your trip, pushing your arrival time back to PM. Long story short: plan on spending the night before the trip and the night you return from the trip in Peach Springs. Nighttime driving is strongly discouraged in this part of the U.

Hi, I stumbled across this on Google and am thoroughly impressed with all of your expertise on the southwest and the National Parks! We were looking at 7 days around end of June timeframe. Arches, Grand Canyon and Antelope Canyon as must-sees and everything else being a bonus.

My first question is do we start in Moab and end up in Vegas? Or start in Vegas and end in Moab. We are very novice hikers Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo to say the least. We only started this year due to Covid and not much else to do. However, we found out we liked it and my kids would be thrilled to see a National Park or two.

With an 11 and 13 year old not sure if I want to chance it. Any info. Would help. Hi Rita and thanks for visiting our site, and your compliments! Another thing to consider is cost; rental car outlets typically prefer that their vehicles be dropped in the same place they were picked up in. Unfortunately, there is no scheduled air service into Sedona, AZ, from anywhere. Worth DFW or Phoenix. And honestly, 7 days is not nearly enough time to accomplish all that you have on your wish list.

As much as I hate to say Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo it, I suggest taking Arches out of the equation this time around. Plus, the weather in June is really hot, and the park tends to be super-crowded during the summer months. Before committing, read up on what you need to make it safe and enjoyable. Whatever you decide, be sure to book all lodging and guided tours well in advance.

Please excuse the length of this comment in advance� At 29yo, I have never commented on a forum, but I have to try this one. I hope it is still active since the last post seems to have been in October. I stumbled upon it in probably my 7th hour of planning and in my 17th opened tab, and I got both excited and frustrated.

I work in hotels and I would imagine that Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo even the concierge team would be extremely impressed with your planning. The itinerary looks so fun! The frustration came when I realized I may have to scrap all those hours of my planning because yours is so much better than mine! My boyfriend and I have been trying to plan a vacation for a while now, only for every plan to be foiled by covid, of course� so we decided international is off the table and are opting for a road trip to finally explore our own backyard!

The kicker here though is that we only have 5 days! Any chance you could help whittle your itinerary down to a very abbreviated version with just the absolute must-sees?

Just need to get this somewhat embarrassing, but relevant, truth out of the way: We are definitely Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo not your typical road-trippers, but we want to give this adventure a go! He is even worse than I am and has already told me: No start times before sunrise.

I would say our earliest start on any given day would be 8 AM. Important�albeit not surprising�note: We are novice hikers. One of my drafted itineraries had us going all the way out to Monument Valley and Arches and even Four Corners, but then I read that Four Corners is closed and I think that loop might be too much of a detour for our tight schedule, so then I started looking more towards Grand Staircase Escalante Natl Monument and Capitol Reef� It seems every time I start swapping out a waypoint, two more places of interest pop up in its place and I Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Sightseeing Charleston Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo am losing sight of what is worth it for so little time!

I am ready to take in the desert landscapes in all their glory, but a good waterfall gets me every time� Are any of the falls a must-see?! Checkout time is 12 noon�realistically, would not leave earlier.

I kind of wanted our last night to be here, but turns out the resort is located within just a half hour of Horseshoe Bend, so probably smarter to work it into that leg of the trip. What do you think?! Sorry�I know this is now a far stretch from the original amazing itinerary you crafted! As you can probably tell though, I am pretty lost here and getting pretty desperate for help.

Hey Michelle, how goes it? Yes, this thread is alive and kicking! I Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo really appreciate your compliments on my trip planning ability, which comes from years of working in hotels myself. Contrary to what you indicate, you are very similar to a lot of road trippers I encounter in my work who try to cram too many sights into too short a timeframe.

If you missed out on these land and sea tours this year, be sure to keep watching our e-mails! Currently, Travel With Alan has groups all over the world. We also have two large groups beginning and ending their river cruises in Amsterdam, and our group is still sailing from Athens to Istanbul on the Azamara Journey. Today I want to tell you, finally, about my last tour. I have to say, it was one of the most scenic and relaxing cruises I have ever Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Yahoo Cruise taken.

I just loved the smaller ship?.. I love going to the ports that don? For this cruise, we left right from Seattle? For me, and everyone else in my group, this was very easy?.. I got my parents to come on this cruise with me and help out with the group?. Our first port of call was in Ketchikan. Ketchikan is always fun. We did our own tour out to a great totem park.

We then had some free time in the city. I went past the jewelry stores that line the pier and went up to Creek Street. The next day we were supposed to go up Tracy Arm to the Sawyer Glacier. The weather was very overcast and foggy and there was a lot of ice in the water, so the Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Captain announced that we would be unable to go up safely to the Sawyer Glacier.

Everyone was disappointed but minutes later the Captain came back on the public address system and announced that he had found another glacier up Endicott Arm.

The weather cleared there and we had a great glacier visit. The next day we were in Juneau, Alaska? Again, more jewelry stores but some great Alaska history and a tour up to the National Park at Mendenhall Glacier. On this itinerary, we stayed in Juneau until PM??

The next day we were in Icy Strait Point. This port is an old cannery town. It was fantastic. I went with my father into the port and toured the free old cannery museum. We were then walking along the water and saw a huge whale Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo come up right next to the shoreline??. The people at Icy Strait Point told us that this happens all the time. I have to say that I have never seen more marine wildlife on a cruise as I did on this one.

We saw whales several times along with lot of porpoises. We then had a day at sea to enjoy all of the activities on the ship. There were some great lectures from the onboard?

The following day we arrived in Alaska? I love Anchorage and the Alaskan Heritage Center there. I think that the Statendam is the only cruise ship that comes right into Anchorage. Again, we stayed late in port, until PM, giving everyone a lot of options.

The next day we came into the very quaint port of Homer, Alaska. Everyone Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo loved Homer, whether they went on a big tour, went into town, or just took the complimentary shuttle bus into the? The next day was another smaller port that hardly any other ship ever visits, Kodiak, Alaska. This is a great island. Some took tours, in search of bears, while others enjoyed the town? The next day we went to visit the Hubbard Glacier. The weather fully cooperated and we had a great, direct view of this massive glacier.

The following day we were in Sitka. Sitka sits on Baranof Island and the scenery there is beautiful. I love going there to see the Raptor Center, where injured eagles are taken to be rehabilitated and returned to the wild. The Native dance show is always a treat too! After sailing from Sitka we had Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo another day at sea to enjoy everything aboard the Statendam. The next day we were in Victoria, British Columbia. Victoria has so much to do from a walk along the waterfront and Inner Harbour area, a visit to the Provincial Museum, afternoon tea at the Empress Hotel, or a tour out to the world-famous Buchart Gardens.

The next, and last morning of the cruise, we docked in Seattle. Since my parents and I didn? My parents ordered breakfast from room service and I went to join them. We then eventually got off of the ship and got our rides to go home??. It was a fantastic two weeks!

June 3rd Update Added: The last time that I wrote about my travels, I was coming home from Madrid, Spain, with the last of my group of Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo people who traveled across the Atlantic aboard the Allure of the Seas. I was home and in the office for 4?

I had people boarding the ship with me in San Diego and we joined the other in our group, who had been aboard the ship for a month, cruising in the South Pacific. We sailed out of San Diego and started making our way up the coast. The next night we got our whole group of together for a huge cocktail party! Our newest tour director, Paula, was with me and between the two of us, we took care of the whole group! After another day at sea we had a wonderful day in Port Angeles, Washington. I hadn?

Some of our regular group members who live in the area came down to the Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo ship to say hello and twelve members of our group, who live in the area and had been on the ship for over 30 days, cruising the South Pacific, disembarked in Port Angeles. The next morning we arrived at the Canada Place Pier in Vancouver. Our coaches were waiting for us to board our group members and take them back, south of the border, to the Seattle area.

Despite a couple of delays, and one bus blowing a tire, we got everyone back to Seattle on time and in time for their flights. Paula waited for the very last bus at the airport while I rushed off to be almost on time for my father? I checked into my hotel and then, starting on Saturday morning, the nearly members of our Travel With Alan Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo Charleston Sightseeing Cruise Yahoo group began arriving. When our late-night flights began arriving one after the next, it was?

By AM on Sunday morning, we had everyone checked in to two different hotels. Sunday morning we had a buffet breakfast at both hotels. After breakfast, and a bit of free time, we began transferring everyone from both hotels to Port Everglades, where they boarded the largest cruise ship in the world, the Allure of the Seas.
