Hey,

I was talking to my boss tonight, and we decided it would be neat to go on an adventure during my upcoming break from school. I have got ten days off to work with. Right now our trip looks somthing like this:

Day One
EVY-LOU-SGF

Day Three
SGF-ABQ-LAS

Day Five
LAS-OAK

Day Six
OAK-SAN

Day Seven
SAN-SEZ

Day Eight
SEZ-TUL-M54

Day Nine
M54-EVY

We will be seeing a few shows in Branson, MO and in Vegas as well as visiting one of his relatives in OAK and in M54 (near Nashville). The other airports are all either fuel stops, or just places we think would be neat to spend the night (like Sedona and San Diago). If anyone knows of any other places that might be cooler to visit than Sedona or something out that way, let me know. I have only spent two nights of my life west of the Rockies, so I really do not know much of what is out there. We will probally not want to go into the major airports like LAS or OAK, so any recommendation as to which airport we should use would be appreciated.

I have never done any real mountain flying. Are there any good websites out there that do a good job covering it? Mountain waves are my biggest concern. How tough is it to come out of a place like LAS or SEZ, IFR in a plane that climbs 430 ft/nm?

Thanks,

Alex.
