Los Angeles to Ft Lauderdale - Honeymoon trip

[imported_Jon]

My fiance & I are getting married this September in Los Angeles. Soon afterwards we're packing her stuff into a truck & placing her car in tow as we make our way to Fort Lauderdale. We definitely want to stop at the Grand Canyon, Dallas, and New Orleans. Any other suggestions?

Congratulations on the pending ceremony! When you leave LA, you might consider taking a slightly longer detour and heading north on I-15, over-night in Las Vegas, and then heading east on Route 9 thru Hurricane, UT and drive through Zion National Park. The leaves will be turning (probably) and it will be wonderful.

If you follow US-Alt-89 you can travel to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon --- there is a very romantic lodge there. Returning to Alt-89 you will cross the Vermillion cliffs and cross the mighty Colorado River at Marble Bridge. You can pick up US-89 and go to the south rim or head further south and pick up I-40 to Okalahoma City and then south on I-35 to Dallas.

I think we're going to stick to the southern route, and visit the southern rim of the canyon, but thanks for your input :)
