Does my routing above make sense? Or are there better ideas? (We're not doing LV for tznius issues.)

The same tznius issues you have in LV (billboards I'm assuming?) you'll have everywhere in California.

Nah, not really billboards. Its more because of a reputation LV has. I'm not backing out of California by now.

Meh. Lots of fun free stuff to do in Vegas for kids without seeing anything worse than LA/SD and tons of great hiking as well.

Maybe if I stay far from the strip it could work.

Any examples of great things to do around there? (I need to convince some people.)

It also helps break up the length of the trip.

btw, Mazel Tov on Rafi's birthday. May he go me'chayal le'chayal.

I once heard it's better to drive from North to South?

Anyway, the rental price might be very dif for pickup in in AZ & drop off in CA or vice versa, so look into that.

Judging from your review, one could think that you have a whole variety of Kosher restaurants to eat over there..

Not like you have much else.

Any hotel suggestions for Sedona, AZ?

DrDanny · « **Reply #73 on:** November 21, 2012, 03:00:49 AM »

IIRC there is a Hyatt - it might be a Hilton now there
Also 2 nice ones are Diablo or something like that (which btw is also timeshare so check vrbo/home away) and Amara spawhere I stayed which was beautiful but not 4 stars IMHO amara is more in town and Diablo is down the road Diablo knows about Shabbos and us more resorty (they have tennis courts IIRC) Sedona rouge looks nice in pictures but I've never been

I know of 2 families that might be going to the Phoenician in Scottsdale, Arizona for the Shabbos Chanukah Weekend. They have 6 men and can bring a sefer torah. They need 4 more for a minyan. With the current 50% SPG resort promotion you can get the nicest Starwood property in the US for 32K points for 5 nights and possibly have a minyan on shabbos.

Please let me know if you are going so I know if my friend will have a minyan.

According to google maps it is a 2 hour walk to the frum community. Are you sure there are frum people who live within walking distance to the Phoenician?

There are a few shuls in Scottsdale (and multple Chabad Houses all over Phoenix/Scottsdale area), so may be useful to PUTPAC.

What do you mean by "PUTPAC"? Can someone tell me is there is a chabad away from the main jewish community and near the Phoenician?
