All right! Things are starting to come together. Here’s what I have so far. This is all subject to booking and my co-traveler’s approval.
DAY 1
Saturday is a travel day. we’ll fly out of Albany into Phoenix and pick up the rental car. The goal is a morning flight so we will have time to swing into Scottsdale for the trolley ride with “Boston Jim”. We can have our lunch there.
Then back on the road for the rest of the drive to Sedona & check-in. ETA between 4 & 6pm. Once checked in we’ll be off to the grocery store for a few food staples and any other essentials we might have forgotten or chose not to pack.
Finish the day watching the sunset at the Airport Mesa.
DAY 2
Recover from yesterday’s full travel day. Take our time getting out and about. Once out, head for Upper Sedona and take the double trolley tour.
Then get lunch in Tlaquepaque.
After lunch browse the shops in Upper Sedona and relax.
Spend the evening at the time share relaxing and grilling dinner. It needs to be an early night because we’ll be headed to Williams early the next morning.
DAY 3
Grand Canyon Railroad and Rim tour with Lunch at the canyon. This is a full day so nothing else is planned here.
Day 4
Back to the Grand Canyon. I’d like to do one of the tours here. Maybe the Bottom of the Grand Canyon? That one is quite unique. Depending on the time we may be able to get the IMAX show in as well. This is still being “fine tuned”.
Day 5
A little closer to “home” we’ll head south toward Cottonwood and check out Montezuma’s castle & Montezuma’s Well. My plan was to do this on our own but we can consider a tour. Then over to the Blazin’ M to see the Olde Towne they have set up. From there catch the Verde Canyon Rail Road trip and then return to the Blazin’ M for the Dinner Show.
Day 6
Slide Rock Park in the morning. Lunch back in Sedona at the Canyon Breeze and then the Trail ride and dinner at the M Diamond Ranch. there might be time for a spa treatment before lunch if we are so inclined LOL
Day 7
This is the last day and depending on how we did up to this point we can chose from a bunch of things.
Red rock Jeep Tour
The Ghost Town of Jerome
Grand Canyon of the Little Colorado
Painted Desert
Out of Africa Safari Park
“Spa Day”
Sunset Crater
Meteor Crater
So that is where the planning stands at this point. There’s enough left on the to-do list for another week!
