I am taking my family (2 kids) to the Southern Rim in early April, but for only a day trip. We will be spending the majority of our time in Sedona. I am reading on-line about an Orange shuttle to South Kaibab trail and wanted to know if this was a good option ? My kids are 14 and 10, so moderate hiking should be fine.

Says we would park at visitor center and walk to Mather Point for pics and then hop on the orange shuttle to S. Kaibab trail in the morning.

Yes lots of Kids !! We won't know the exact amount, but can be between 8-12 kids ranging in ages of 2-15 years old.. I appreciate all the feedback. Looks like i need to do some research myself on Broken Bow and surrounding area.

My large extended family is looking at Broken Bow for the 2026 summer trip and wanted to know what this place is like ? We typically do a beach trip, so something different is good news to me. I am concerned this might be another Gatlinburg like vacation, which we did in 2019 range. Our group could be between 20-26 in total and would probably rent 1-2 large cabins in the general area.

I am looking for something different this year and looking for ideas/suggestions for this summer or a possible Thanksgiving vacation. Details below: wife and kids (19 & 14) we all have passports and TSA pre-check.

Traveled to before: St. John (USVI) and Cayman Islands as a family for each. We enjoyed both and each trip we rented homes (VRBO) vs a resort. We enjoyed both, but all of us will say St. John was the best. Not against returning to St. John, but wanted other suggestions.

Typical trip: Lots of beach days, have rented boats to view the island, typically rent a vehicle and drive around the island vs taking taxis/ubers. We will eat out about half the time, but don't mind cooking at rent house (assuming we do that again vs a resort).

My 19 year old daughter is wanting an Ipad for college, while i do not think it is truly needed since her 2 year old laptop is working fine and i am leaning to getting her one for Christmas and BD combo gift.

Any recommendations on the Ipad type ? She has an Iphone and iwatch currently. Her laptop is not an Apple.


Thanks in advance.....

I smoked about a pack a day from 1997-2011… Last one was on 12/31/2011 around 11:00 pm.. I wanted kids and wanted to stop before trying.. I changed my habits and tried to not drink for 2-4 weeks (drinking & smoking easy way to fail)… Have not even had a drag of a cigarette since 2011..

My son was born in November of 2012, so it worked !

September 18th is the next meeting and projected rate cut day.

Has anyone been to the above near Vernon, Florida? Going to Blue Miuntain Beach for a week and looking at this place as a break from the beach for a day. Looks like it’s about 45 minutes from Blue Mountain. Would be taking about 6 kids with ages ranging from 6-14 years old

I believe Hancock Whitney has a 1 time close construction loan option. I would explore this if they still offer it.
