On the way to Phoenix, we are breaking up the trip. We will be in Disneyland on a Friday for the entire day. We'll stay probably until it closes. From there, we will be staying in Riverside in a 3 star I pricelined. Saturday morning, we will leave early to head over to Indian Wells for the tennis tournament. Both of us have always wanted to go and found out just over the weekend that we'll be passing right by them en route to Phoenix. So we'll spend the day at Indian Wells and then drive to Phoenix. I'm sure it can't be that far to Phoenix from there.
Now the way back to LA won't be as relaxing. We will leave after the Friday 1pm baseball Giants game ends at Scottsdale (3 or 4pm)? We'd like to miss the Phoenix rush hour and then perhaps have dinner in the Palm Springs area before heading back to a hotel at LAX which I haven't yet received an accepted bid from Priceline.
