Trip Planner by:Daniel H “Southwest Trip – Phoenix to Denver”
Minneapolis to Phoenix to Flagstaff
I’ll admit it – I’m a maximizer. Why else would I build an entire family roadtrip to the Southwest in late spring based solely on the fact that National Rentacar had a great one-way rate for just about any sized vehicle from Phoenix to Denver.
I scored a mid-sized SUV, and all the plans fell into place from there. Of course, that meant two one-way flights (usually more expensive) for the four of us, and oh yes, to fit in a trip of any real length, we’d have to leave on Bryson’s last day of school and be home just 7 days later so that Bryson and I could immediately turn around and head off to a weekend at Cub Scout Camp – more on that later.
So, we got lucky when we found out that Bryson had an early release day on his last day of school (was planning on pulling him out a couple of hours early), so we had no problem waiting for him to come home on the bus at noon, taxi at the front door by 1p, and take-off on Sun Country Airlines (known for it’s free hot cheeseburgers in flight) at 2:50p.
