First time snowbird road trip from Seattle to Phoenix
Posted by librarylois on September 15, 2018 at 5:58 am
Hello everyone. My husband and I are planning our first road trip now that we are both retired. We’ll be driving from the Seattle, WA area (Puyallup to be exact) to Fountain Hills AZ . We have a van that carries my scooter as I have mobility challenges because of MS. I walk very short distances with two canes and use the scooter other times. We will be staying in AZ from the third week in Feb. through the month of March. We have plenty of time for the driving but i’d like to do it in a week and a half if that’s feasible. But we do want to stop at interesting sights along the way (mostly nature or historical) and we can’t drive a lot more than five hours a day as my most bothersome MS challenge is chronic pain. I would really love some ideas on which route to take to avoid bad weather and crazy traffic, interesting stops, possible places to stay overnight along the way, etc. We’ve never done anything Ike this before so I’m a bit overwhelmed on how to start the planning. Any suggestions?

Hi Never done that trip personally, but there is an author named Candy Harrington that has a number of books dealing with road trips as a “slow walker [or] wheeler”. There are some listed in the “Books” section on the site here. Maybe look at:
