    Itinerary:

    Htown to Grand Canyon

    should I just mapquest the directions?
    plan is to just spend a few hours there taking pictures

    Grand Canyon to Vegas

    explore the strip
    Ghost Bar and Rain at the Palms
    Pink Taco bar at the Hard Rock
    Strip Clubs
    Complimentary drinks while playing Texas Hold'em
    Cheap buffets and food deals everywhere
    plan is like 4 or 5 days in Vegas

    Vegas to L.A.

    Sunset Strip
    Hollywood
    West Hollywood nightlife
    crazy S&M clubs or something weird
    Beverly Hills Rodeo Drive
    Stalk some movie stars

    L.A. to Carlsbad Caverns

    never been there and it sounds cool, is it worth the stop?

    Carlsbad to San Antonio

    chillin with my S.A. boys

    Back to Htown




    soooooo, am I missing anything? 3 dudes, 2 chicks, my car (just got it checked up, gonna put in a new filter tomorrow), many CDs for the drive.

    Any suggestions dealing with any of the locations or advice on the long drive would be great. Thanks.

    You're missing a chick. One of those dudes is gonna be left out of the party.

    understood, but there is no way I'm fitting 6 in the car, and we're all friends, but, I don't know...we'll see, and one way or another, I'm not going to be left out of the party.

    check out Hoover dam on the way from Grand Canyon to Vegas

    give yourself half a day a GC, ride the suttle bus that take you around to different viewing spots, you must stay for a Sunset or Sunrise, if you stay overnight stay in the small down just outside the park (can't remember the name) but pretty cheap, and pack warm the Grand Canyon is cold, especially at sunset or sunrise.

    Sounds like fun. I've taken many roadtrips and never with any females. Strike that! I have taken two roadtrips with females. I think the only thing that matters is that everyone, male/female and other, are easy going, adventerous and open minded.

    The only thing that would make me nervouse about females being there is the guys. Sometimes guys have a change in personality when they around girls. The guys could become more inhibited, start getting possessive of one of the females, and feeling a threat to their potential hook up even when no one is trying to move in. They could develop tunnelvision toward one of the females. Then their interest would only be on the female and not on bigger picture of the road trip and what's happening, and other events along the way. Hopefully none of this will happen and it will be a great trip.

    Road trips are one of my favorite things in the world. The only advice I can give is to have a list of things you want to do(which you have) but don't be afraid to toss it out the window if something else arises.

    Of course I definitely want reports, if not during, after the roadtrip.

    Sounds like an episode of Road Rules in the making.

    Might want to bring a full-time camera man along.

    Sounds like you're going to have a blast! Can I come? ;)

    I always prefered the roadtrips that weren't planned. The spur of the moment, 1 o'clock in the morning, 8 people and a case of beer in a Civic ones. :D

    Ah, college. Good times.

    Carlsbad Caverns is DEFINITELY worth the stop, IMO. If you have some time, you should check out the Great Sand Dune in Colorado and White Sands, NM.

    that's what i am talking about.

    one minute, you are b.s.ing about doing it, the next minute you are on your way to the Canyonlands in Utah, (which I highly recommend)
