Advice re Agawa Canyon Tour Train?

Rob, a trick my wife and I used when our kids were young was to have the car packed up ready to go the night before departure. Then we would get up very early in the morning. We tried to be out of the house and on the road by 5:00 a.m. Usually I would drive until I got sleepy, and then wake my wife and she would drive while I cat napped. We would stop for breakfast when the kids woke up around 8 or 9 a.m. Immediately the trip for the kids that would have taken 9 hours was reduced to 6. They usually got bored in the car before we reached out destination, but it was an extra 3 hours of not hearing "Are we there , yet?"

Thanks, Russ -- that's not a bad idea! My wife & I are not morning people but if we're disciplined, this might work! It's certainly a good way of speeding up the day and seemingly reducing the hours of travel. Cheers, Rob
