Excellent. Similar to the ones I took when I made the journey almost exactly 10 years ago to this very month. I did a "Get your kicks on Rt. 66" driving tour of Az. Arrived in PHX (Sky Harbour) from Newark, and rented a SUV and drove around AZ, making the following stops:

1) Cottonwood (stayed 2 nights Side day trip to Petrified Forest Natl. Pk.);
2) Kingman (starting point for the classic Rt. 66 drive);
3) Seligman (from Kingman on original Rt 66 stretch - Saw the "Waiving barber" right on cue in Seligman).
4) GCNP (stayed 4 nights inside the park at the El Tovar);
5) Page/Lake Powell (stayed 3 nights... thought I was going to "4 corners" but missed it);
6) Sedona (stayed 2 nights)
7) Back to PHX for the flight home.

You might ask, "Why Cottonwood?" Well, being a long time fan of the "Dragnet" TV series (1960's era), I always wanted to visit the town featured in this episode.

Yup, we came through Cottonwood yesterday, right down the road on 89 from Sedona
