Yesterday I booked our RV for February - 11 days this time, to take account of the drop off day. Luckily the kids have an extended vacation around Presidents' Day, which is the perfect time for a Death Valley trip. Now I need to turn my mind to the campsites.
We are currently engaged in a remodel, so it's hard to focus....

Making Plans
We've decided to head out again in February, this time to Death Valley. Currently in itinerary discussion with Hubby, as he wants to go to the Mojave Desert, Joshua Tree, etc etc etc, all in 10 days. I'm holding out for a couple of unexciting stops in the central valley, followed by a long stop in Death Valley, and then a couple of unexciting stops back.
The other National Parks round there, like Kings Canyon, will be too snowy and cold for a visit at that time. (Check out Kay and Paul's blog from their winter trip to that area if you don't believe us - even the intrepid Bridges ended up in a motel.)
Unfortunately, the central valley really is very unexciting indeed. I'm struggling to find anything that sounds appealing. Maybe we'll just do one overnight to break the monotonous schlep down I-5. After all, we did learn in our first trip that going more than 175 miles in one hop is a mistake.
