First of all, thanks to everyone who responded to my latest Where to Go? post, especially John Rule whose suggestions regarding the Yucatan I took to heart, and have saved.

Yesterday I realized that I haven't been to the desert for several years, since our last visit to Santa Fe six years ago, and a desert vacation is what I crave. Now my plan is to visit the Grand Canyon and Sedona next April for Easter break. I'll have 9 or 10 days. While I have read past Zine posts regarding the North Rim, it doesn't open until May, so the South Rim it is. Neither my husband or I have been to the Canyon or Sedona before, and would be grateful for any suggestions you have. I have made reservations at El Tavor for three nights Easter weekend, I know they will be full soon for the holiday. Our daughter will be 8 by then, and an excellent hiker for her age. I plan to spend the rest of the week at a resort in Sedona, but which one? What books do you suggest?

I'm looking forward to your posts, thanks everyone!
