This is where the "youre doing what?!" bit comes into it. This holiday is booked up to the max and there is going to be no time to even think about anything as its always go go go! But we love that kind of adventure - to see as much as poss in as little time possible!

* Land in LA - Stay near the airport for 1 night. See the "sights" - hollywood, chinese theatre, walk of fame etc.

* Drive to Palm springs, stay the night.

* Drive to Scottsdale - do a bit of shopping (we are staying next to the mall!) and the guys want to go to a shooting range!

* Drive to Grand Canyon - helipcopter tour and stay the night.

* Drive to vegas, stop off at hoover dam. Party it up in vegas.

* Staying in vegas for 3 nights - PARTY PARTY PARTY!

* Drive through death valley and stay the night.

* Drive to Yosemite and stay the night.

* Day trip white water rafting in Yosemite.

* Drive to san fransisco and stay in the night at fishermans wharf area!

* Explore san fran - go on the alcatraz tour at night!

* Drive to Monterey and stay the night

* Drive to Venture - day at the beach maybe

* Back down to LA, Visiting santa monica pier (fair! yay)

I hope you realise you will be spending most of the time on the road. We did very similar trip to urs last year without as many stops, and over 3 weeks.

I think you will struggle to get all the activities in your are planning. But good luck and enjoy.

Wow! What a road trip! When our kids are grown up we are hoping to do something similar
Enjoy - sounds like fun

Looks amazing! Yes there is lots of driving - and I'm not sure you're going to be up for exploring hollywood after an 11 hr flight!.

Six Flags the following day will be great because you may be up early but then it's a fair drive to Anaheim through LA and could take up to 3 hours

The mall in Scottsdale is great . Have lunch in Sedona on the way to the Grand Canyon - amazing scenery and a great place to eat called the Cowboy Grill. There are pics in the trippy I did last year.

I know traffic in LA can be a nightmare so we will leave plenty of time for driving round there Thanks for the tip though
