Avoid LA...there's nothing there worth visiting and there's so much more to see in the rest of California.Thanks Hamstring,
The hubby is keen on visiting LA but I'm not that pushed and I think it might be a bit tight with the time limit we have. How long did it take you to do the reverse trip or were you doing it at your leisure?

. I don't think its worth driving from LV to grand canyon. It takes 4 hours each way (I think). A better use of time is to fly and skip the hoover dam, and stay overnight at the canyon for the sunrise.
Of course people like different things so YMMV always applies.
I flew into LA , got an internal flight up to Frisco as its 12 hours drive/ 1 hour flight.5 days in frisco (make sure you book Alcatraz 3 weeks in
advance online).
Flew back to LA , spent 3 days in Hollywood (Holiday Inn)
Got a bus to Santa Monica for a full day- very nice.
did Universal and a tour of the stars homes.
then got the Greyhound to Vegas (5hrs) stayed in
the Imperial palace which is next door to the Venetian.
Did a flight over the Canyon in a 7 seater.
I would recommend trying to include Vegas on the trip maybe cut
San Fran to 5 days.
totolly agree..was a waste of time. The drive down from San Fran and stop-offs in Santa Barbara etc. is however really worthwhile...
I really enjoyed Nashville. We got a train from Chicago to Memphis overnight, and saw Graceland the next day. We drove for about 3 hours or so to Nashville a went to a concert in the old Ryman Auditorium, Ricky Skeggs was pllaying some bluegrass music and it was very good. Downtown has some 'honkytonks', or pubs with live music in them, and you can walk around the city centre. The food there was very cheap, about $9 for a nice steak and chips in Nemo's. I thought that Nashville was far nicer than Memphis.
With your trip you could fly to the west coast first and then travel back east, so fly to LA, then travel to Frisco, get a flight to Vegas ( are cheap), and fly on to Nashville, Southwest fly non stop from Las Vegas to Nashville AFAIK, you should be able to get a flight down to Mexico from there, although their may be a stop.
