i'm thinking of going down to the Southwest for spring break... arizona, maybe texas.... anyone been to the grand canyon? and wat is there to do besides hiking and sightseeing?? i wanna do some rafting, but it seems tht most of the rafting companies charge $700 - 1000 for a 2 day expedition.. pls help me plan my trip! this is my last spring break, so let me have fun!

 

I went to arizona and the grand canyon last summer. I thought it sucked, mainly because it was 116 outside, and the hotels anywhere near the grand canyon would cost you your right nut. But im sure it would be more enjoyable now that the temperatures would be a little bit more mild. Im suggesting you stay in the San Ignacio at Green Valley Arizona (45 miles south of tuscan.) There are a lot of malls, and about a paintball arena everywhere you look. Also, the security is high as hell in that part of arizona (due to illegal immigrants crossing the border) The best thing about it was, you could just hop on a bus and ride into mexico.

 

^^thanx for the help, but green valley is kinda out of the way for this trip...... however, my gf and i are def hitting up these three places:

1. lake havasu
2. chandler (some dude ranch thingy)
3. phoenix/ surrounding areas
4. grand canyon (which rim do u guys recommend?)
5. las vegas

tht will be the sequence we'll be goin in... but as usual, she wants to do some shopping... so, skabone and jschmid, do u guys know of any good shopping places in phoenix or surrounding areas?? and what else is there to do around phoenix?

we'll prob be leaving on Weds/ thurs next week, depending on finals.... still debating if i should bring my car tho

 

been to the grand canyon many times.
it's cool.

 

which part exactly? we're not sure which side is the best seeing tht the grand canyon is sooo big...north rim? or the side closer to LV? and what to do there?

 

havasu is fun, although during springbreak that shit is packed with idiots...and hotties
chandler/phoenix is fun... cept for all the times i went there i missed buttsecks with josh... or just never went up h:
grand canyon...i hear its fun... plan on going there sometime... as a child i never really appreciated big holes in the ground but growing older has changed me...
vegas....hmm..would know cept i heard it was hot h:

 

when does spring break start anyways? i dun wanna be surrounded by too many hotties with my gf around

 

i believe next week or the week after...not too sure... i dont have one h: lol
its fun though a lot of things to do during spring break in havasu....

 

ic ic... i'm goin next week (which is technically still finals week for my school).... and my gf's not into the clubbin thing.... we're just going down to lake havasu to *ahem8 go shooping and *ahem*ahem* see the london bridgeh:

 

both rims. either way, you see the canyon. not like the view is much different. lol
they have hotels that you can stay at there, hiking, helicopter ride, plane ride....ect..
