Vegas to ... ?
Our family needs to be in Portland, OR at the end of March for a family event. Since we're flying across the country anyway, we've decided to take advantage and check off some family bucket list items while we're out that way.
Our current plan is fly into Las Vegas, as we can inexpensively fly there nonstop from our hometown. We will be renting an RV for this part of our trip because our daughter has multiple anaphylactic food allergies and we need a kitchen in order to feed her safely. We could find hotels with kitchens, but for a trip like this where we're moving quickly it seems it'd be a hassle to wipe it all down and pack/unpack all of her safe stuff every day/night, etc. Aside from that, my husband thinks we should buy an RV and this will be somewhat of a trial run.
So we'll pick up the RV in Las Vegas and then we have two possible itineraries in mind:
1. Zion National Park, Grand Canyon (bucket list for me!!), Sedona, then over to Anaheim for a couple of days at Disneyland. Return the RV in LA and fly from LAX to Portland.
2. Head right to Anaheim, maybe with a detour for either Death Valley or Joshua Tree. Spend a couple of days at Disneyland then drive up the coast to San Francisco (I've heard it's beautiful), stopping for a night or two along the way. Return the RV in San Francisco and fly from SFO to Portland.
We have 7 nights for this part of the trip. It will be mid-March, probably 16th-23rd. Are either of these itineraries feasible in that time-frame? Better at that time of year? Anything you'd recommend cutting out either way? Overall which would be a better RV trip? The RV is pretty much a given on this trip for the reasons stated above. I feel like the RV may be better suited to the first itinerary but I don't know. Any feedback would be much appreciated as I know we need to get booking things!
