Hi Everyone,

Myself and my partner are planning a road trip for September 2007. I've poured over guide books, maps and read various threads on this forum and am now more confused than ever!! :o)

Until I started looking at all the maps I had no real concept on the vastness of the USA.

Ideally we would like to start and finish in Las Vegas. We want to spend a couple of days in Vegas (either at the start or end of the trip) and then drive/visit the Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, down to Phoenix and Tombstone. Across to the White Sands, through Roswell and up to Sante Fe. From Sante Fe head via Taos and Durango, up to Moab and back down to Vegas (Obviously taking in some of the fantastic National Parks on the way).

Is it at all possible to do this in 3 weeks or am I being over ambitious? If I am being over ambitious, what would you suggest I cut out to make the trip feasible?

Sorry to repeat questions and to ask for advice that you've no doubt handed out before but when you live on a small island like the UK driving to the local supermarket is considered to be a road trip!!

Many thanks in advance
Roni
