Hi all, My wife, 5 year old son and I are doing a road trip, and would love to get some advice on places to see, time needed, and any other words of wisdom. Unfortunately the VW's are going to have to stay home for this one. We are picking up a 25' RV in Chicago and we will have it for about 18 days. We need to drop it off in Las Vegas. We are leaving Chicago on Feb 16, probably in the later afternoon, so not sure how far we will get that first day. My first thought was to head down to Nashville, Memphis, and then head towards Austin, but my wife thinks we may want to spend more time out in Arizona and the Grand Canyon and that those few extra days would be better spent further west. How long do you think we need at the Grand Canyon? Some itineraries say 10 days. Is it going to be too cold to do a lot? What are must see attractions? From the GC we will head to Southern Cal to spend a few days with family. From there, my hope is to head north on RT 1 to Santa Barbara, and then head east across Death Valley (and hope our timing is right for the wildflower bloom). Finally, we'll head to Las Vegas to spend a day, and then return the truck. Any great places to camp around Santa Barbara and Las Vegas? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
