A little update,

Please email me with any additional questions you have so I can be sure to answer them. I think I have covered most things but I could be missing something.

Kyle called last night and told Kirk they are thinking of staying in Flagstaff the night before we head out to Mexico. This is actually quite wise for a few reasons, but mainly because it is MUCH cheaper to stay in Flagstaff overnight than in Phoenix. Winter in Phoenix is high tourist season and all our resorts are full and busy. The rooms here in the winter - and most especially from November through March and the most expensive of all the year and in many ways, more expensive than you might think. Flagstaff remains a bargain because of their cooler weather.

Flagstaff is probably about a 1 and 1/2 hour drive to 2 hours depending on your speed. Since we will probably be leaving mid morning for Mexico on Friday there will be plenty of time to drive down from Flagstaff before we get ready to leave. In addition this makes the dive from Utah seem a little quicker since it cuts time off the end of the drive when everyone is the most tired. The next day we will be stopping in Gila Bend and again at the border so that drive will seem shorter than it might seem.

So Flagstaff might be something everyone would consider if the cost of rooms in Phoenix seems exhoribant and/or they want to shorten the drive the first day.
