Aw thank you! Glad you enjoyed it

Your plan sounds good You'll love Yosemite Village, lots of the main sights are based just around that circular drive!

Ooh Little Ae'inn sounds fab! My lads would have enjoyed that without a doubt, they did ask if we could go to Area 51 but we couldn't fit it in!

Grand Canyon will just blow you away - it did us - don't forget to go outside at night and look at the stars!

As for the driving, my hubby loved it. Cruise control is your friend, when out on the long stretches

And yes, do come back on and give a summary of your trip when it's over, have a great time! (I know you will! )

Hello, welcome to the Dibb! Another SoCal fan here. Love the West Coast so much that we've concentrated on that side of the USA pretty much for the last 10 years or so...

Me and my partner are big stargazing fans... Wow anything regarding the stars space the universe etc and we are hooked.
One of the things we are so Looking forward to is death valley and the grand canyon at night. We've already got our stargazing binoculars packed

Thanks for giving me a couple of tips... one is seeing the space shuttle endeavour on display... I'm a massive fan of everything NASA... everytime we went to Florida, Space Kennedy was my favourite place to head. So seeing endeavour in the flesh so to speak will be incredible. We actually saw Columbia on the launchpad before it's fateful last trip into space... so sad.
Yosemite is going to be amazing... to actually see el capitan with my own eyes is going to be magical... I've climbed myself for a Number of years and always regarded Yosemite as the Mecca of big wall rock climbing...
