We have a date!

“Map out your future- but do it in pencil. The road ahead is as long as you make it. Make it worth the trip."
-Jon Bon Jovi

I think that I’ve mentioned before the glorious trip that I’m planning for this summer. Hopefully I’ll have news soon that we’ve booked tickets and hotels, but today we have a date. Or at least I think we have a date. Rob looked at his calendar, which is very full and his work, which is very busy. I compared his dates with my calendar, which is very empty and my work, which is very not busy. And, voila, we came up with August 23-September 1.

We’ll be going on a whirlwind tour of Arizona. The travel books say you can’t make it from one end of the state to the other in a week. But we have 10 days, and we’re going to do it! I’ve spent my “free time” today planning our itinerary, and it looks like we’ll be doing a lot of driving, but that we’ll be able to see everything that we want to see. Any tips for Arizona? Phoenix, Tucson, Flagstaff, Sedona, Grand Canyon, or anywhere in between?
