That's a nice trip but will be hell on a bus. Are you considering swinging through Jerome and Sedona?

So we made it to flagstaff in 2 hours and 9 minutes! I can't believe how BEASTLY the bus was going up those hills! We took the BIG ones in 3rd, about 45 mph, but the lesser grades were 4th gear 3/4 pedal.. It was amazing, I'm SO happy we made such good time. Smile I'll post pics when I have better Wifi!

We may drive through Sedona but I'm not sure about Jerome!
