Thanks for the responses! I knew that TOTV was the place to find help and information!
Whamrick, thanks for the pet-friendly hotel website. I’ll take some time to go through it to map our route.
Chuck, how long did it take you go drive that distance? We are thinking about 3.5 to 4 days from Phoenix to The Villages. Is that time frame unrealistic? (Barring really bad weather and/or massive traffic jams. I remember when we would travel the CT turnpike. We were always lucky that the accident was on the other side of the highway. Backups were miles and miles long!!)
I love this site! Thanks again!
