in january my wife and i are spending 3 weeks in california and arizona; a week in palm springs at the film festival; a week in san diego and then a week in phoenix. we have 2 days in between the san diego and phoenix timeshares. where would you recommend spending the days? thought about vegas but probably too far to drive for just 2 days.

thanks,

denny

help?

I've never been but have wanted to visit Joshua Tree National Park. If you won't have time to go while in Palm Springs, I'd go there.

Sedona?

oooops, just realized you met somewhere between the two....anyone?

joshua tree national park is a great place to visit. spent a day there last year. thanks for the ideas.

I don't know if this appeals to you or not, but I'd like to do an overnight here -

For sightseeing, you could add on Tucson and surrounds as well.

bisbee looks very interesting. staying in vintage trailers would be great. have you done much in the area? mexico?

thanks,

denny

Nope. I haven't been, but really want to stay at the Shady Dell. If I were planning the trip, I'd ask them more about the area they list on their website and see if I were interested.

I'd drive to the Shady Dale from San Diego, and then drive up to Tombstone. Continue on to Tucson and visit Saguaro NP.
