Thanks. They are a young couple and are bent on seeing everything. I advised skipping Grand Canyon but they see it as a once in a lifetime opp. They have vegas res. at a place I've never heard of-Aruba. As to La-they want to see sunset blvd., movie star handprints and homes, Venice beach-I have no clue. In what area of LA should they book a hotel. Perhaps they can skip Santa Barbera and have 2 nights in Carmel. Where might they stay in Carmel. They are on a typical middle class budget.
