Hi fellow AZ members.  My wife needs a vacation.  But is unwilling to leave for long as one of her cats is frail.  She will feel guilt if it dies while she is away.  Never mind we have a vet tech willing to visit them every day.

So I'm looking for ideas for an interesting vacation from the Phoenix area for maybe 2-3 nights away.  Wide open to suggestions.  Drive.  Fly.  it don't matter.

We usually head for Laguna Beach in Cali when we want a quick break. Ocean, great food scene, some art fairs, etc.  Once you arrive you can trolly around town, so no stress of parking. The holiday inn is cute and clean with a spanish style and beautiful courtyard.

Thanks for the ideas.  I especially like the Laguna Beach idea.  But we might actually take a longer vacation.  Her vet tech came today to give the sick cat fluids and we discussed her dropping by the house twice a day and all and perhaps I can convince wife unit that it's OK to really take a vacation.

River cruise in Europe might be in the offing.  Stoked if that is the decision.

My parents have done two viking river cruises in the last three years and are doing another at the end of the summer.  They freaking LOVE them.  My father talked the onboard activities operator into letting him give a 1hr WW2 presentation about Operation Market Garden as they went down the Waal river under the bridges near Nijmegen, NL.

Would love to have heard that.  Wife doesn't much want to go in germany.  Seems like either you have short cruises through France or you have to include Germany.  For myself, I've never been and love German food.  I want it ALL.

German food is about exciting as their language of chipping concrete

When I ate out in Deutschland, it was always putinschnitzel mit pommes frites, ein bier, bitte! It was the only thing I actually could enjoy.

Well the killer long cruises connect the Danube and Rhine via canal but the Danube cruises might be interesting, Not sure where they start/end?? but would include Vienna and Budapest, etc.
