Your dream holiday?

A few years ago I was lucky enough to win an 8 day trip to Phoenix, Arizona, courtesy of Mazda cars.
The wife and I stayed at the Scottsdale Princess Hotel, which was part of the TPC Scottsdale course. It was absolutely superb.
Couple of rounds of golf, hired a car and drove up to the Grand Canyon, stayed overnight in a lodge there and got up early to see the sunrise over the canyon. Then went down and spent the day in Sedona, which is a gorgeous town built into the red rocks of that area. Superb drive down through ancient pine forests. That, so far, has been the best holiday I have had (location wise).
 
I am a big fan of John Wayne and would love to visit some of the places where his greatest films were shot.

You should try the golf holiday in Arizona mentioned in the last post. Play some golf in Scottsdale, then up to Sedona (including the Sedona Golf Resort), then drive to the Grand Canyon, and on to Monument Valley. Stay at Gouldings Lodge http://www.gouldings.com/ with views over the area where the John Ford westerns were made, then take a drive around the red rock park. Your car will be covered in red dust afterwards, but it is good fun.

We did this a few years ago and it was great. Avoid doing it in July or August unless you like heatstroke, though. April or November would be much better.
 
Butlins would be a dream holiday for me at the moment, I hate work so much since we were taken over by the biggest bunch of *ossers ever to walk the planet. Anytime I'm not at work is bliss.
