Let’s just hope we get there!
Yes, I’ve seen them on Google Earth- it’s fascinating. When we stayed in Tucson, we drove down to Nogales on the Mexican border (don’t bother). On the way back we got pulled over and the car searched for immigrants!

CFB,
I did a JPR Exercise that was based at Davis-Monthan AFB, Tucson, a few years and we snagged a tour of the boneyard... it’s impressive (they had more Hercs in there than the crabs have ! )




Your trip looks amazing !

Your itinerary looks wonderful! Lots we've done and would like to do. Looks like you've chosen some great hotels too - with breakfasts! I do hope it all works out for you this time - fingers crossed
