As I wrote in the previous message it's a 3 week trip, so roughly 21 days. Bedo. ======== Nit pickiness. I presume you are flying in and renting a car. To see the Southwest you will need a car. Give me a week, and I could probably pull out some maps and plan a decent itinerary. I am sure others will have suggestions. What I said was off the top of my head. If you want to see Las Vegas just to see Las Vegas, only allow 1 and 1/2 days (at the most)there. Allow 3-4 days for San Francisco. There are a lot of Indian ruins in the Southwest too. Like Bandolier and Canyon de Chelly. Not looking at a map, I still know some of them are near where you are going to be. But I cannot be specific at this point. However, if you can, include one or two. Rather neat and some have pictographs here and there too. I don't know where you are coming from, but remember the US is a BIG place and distances might be greater than what you are used to. Bear in mind. You may not have enough time to see everything, but if you spend most of your 3 weeks in the Southwest you can see an awful lot. HTH, Marnie
