I am about to embark on the most structured trip I've ever taken, even more so than my month in Scotland in that I have actually made reservations. My fixed itinerary is such:
June 19th: depart Ottawa in early AM to arrive in San Francisco by dinnertime, with a four hour layover in Vancouver
June 20th to June 23rd (inclusive): explore San Francisco, with a trip to Alcatraz booked for the 23rd
June 24th: drive to Las Vegas by way of Sacramento and Reno, to arrive sometime in the early evening at the Gold Coast Hotel and Casino
June 25th: spending the morning on a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon, with a flyover the Strip upon returning to Vegas
Then things get fuzzy. I'm not sure if I'm leaving Las Vegas the 26th or 27th, but I'll spend the second half of the week in Los Angeles, concentrating on Hollywood. Depending on how late in the week I arrive there, I'm hoping to have time for a day trip to Tijuana, Mexico. Whatever I do, I must be back in San Francisco by June 30th.
July 1st: depart SF mid-day to arrive in Ottawa very late after a 1.75 hour layover in Calgary.
To plan this trip, I've been using tips from Neil, my host in San Francisco; advice from colleagues who have been to Vegas; and a variety of websites for which I have provided links in the sidebar.
