I wouldn't rule out Phoenix. It isn't like LA or NOLA win any prizes for public transportation.
That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

erika, it is a nice zoo. Too bad it's not at Christmas when they have the pretty lights up.
Do you know how far Sedona is from Phoenix? I've heard it can be an interesting visit. I can't imagine any public transit reaching that far, but maybe a couple of vans could be rented to stuff people in for those who are willing to brave the daytime heat.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I loved Sedona. I'd estimate it's about a two-hour drive.

What is even happening?
Aw man, you're letting the antipodeans answer our geography questions. We are sad.

Yeah, about two hours. Maybe we can arrange something. I'll check if people want.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Is 1 extra week enough for you guys? I'd like to have the vote partially over a weekend.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

True. But LA, IIRC, had a lot of locals, with cars. I remember we were the last to arrive, damned near, pulling into the Safari's parking lot with a trunk full of wine and baked goods, after dark on the Friday, having driven down from SF.
Everyone was going out to dinner, and there were enough cars to take everyone clear across town, to the sushi restaurant.

Our wings are not tired
Pheonix or SF I'd almost definitely drive to. This may well be the same for other LAistas. If that's the case then we'd end up with cars. We also had a few folks who rented cars in LA. DX had a van and Jon B had a Jeep Liberty, there may have been others.

Yep. Kind of my point - the availability of cars and drivers for an area has to be considered. We'd possibly drive to Vegas, but not to Phoenix or Seattle. All three of those, we'd need a rental, and that adds another chunk of change to the bill.
I don't know what Seattle's public transport is like, because I am a pampered cow, and the two readings I've done up there, either Pete and Jilli drove me around, or Paul and Plei did, or Nic did.
But getting around, ease and cost thereof, is something to consider.
