We've looked forward to today. Today we enjoy a morning boat ride on Lake Powell. We opted for the Navajo tapestry tour. This tour covers Navajo Canyon and Antelope Canyon. The rock formation that looks like a tapestry is our destination on Navajo Canyon. The narrow lake passageway is Antelope Canyon. In the afternoon we'll head on down to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. There we'll enjoy the sunset of the canyon.... read more

The flight attendant came on the intercom and asked everyone to look for a pair of glasses. The pilot had walked the plane and was now missing his glasses. After no response she then inquired if anyone on board had a commercial pilots license. Later she inquired if there was perhaps a child on board who loved video games. She was particularly interested to know if there was a child on board that loved flight simulator games. Apparently there was still no response. By this time there were a few uncomfortable faces on the plane. Suddenly the pilot burst in "We are truly desperate. Is there anyone on board mechanically inclined that thinks they ... read more
