When will you start the flight south?

Just curious as I am getting itchy feet to head south. Will eventually land in the Quartzsite area but is way too hot still so sightseeing in a convoluted trip down from the Seattle area.

We will arrive around the first of Nov. When do you head south and where this year?

  • EDIT: Thanks for posting this. We talked it over last night and had a change of plans:

    Leaving for FL the first week of November (I can hardly wait!!)

    WHOO-HOO!
  • We typically head south when temps at home reach low 90s or upper 80s...usually around the first week of Oct or so.
  • Had hoped for the end of October, but family matters will keep us busy until probably the end of November.
  • Oct 1, Las Vegas layover, then Palm Springs. Cannot wait to escape this smoke.
  • We usually head for Tucson around the 1st of Nov., spend two weeks in Denver visiting family, then watch the weather over Raton Pass for a good day to head south..

    May change this year if the house sells in the next few weeks.
