W pierwszy odcinek naszej trasy wyruszamy wynajętym Chryslerem (ku mojemu niezadowoleniu w wypożyczalni nie mieli różowych Cadillaców…), w radio leci rock lub country a my kierujemy się ku Arizonie. Wielki Kanion Kolorado będzie spełnieniem naszych marzeń J Dwa noclegi w samochodzie na polu kempingowych, już w Parku Narodowym, 2 km od krawędzi kanionu. Wielkości, piękna, kolorów i kształtów nie odda żadne zdjęcie, to trzeba zobaczyć na własne oczy… Miano cudu świata natury jest zupełnie zasłużone. Im dłużej wpatrujesz się i chłoniesz widok, tym bardziej nie jesteś w stanie wyobrazić sobie mocy natury, która była w stanie stworzyć cos podobnego… Pierwszego dnia podziwiamy zachód słońca, drugiego tuz po świcie wyruszamy na szlak, który zaprowadzić ma nas 620 m w głąb kanionu. Niespełna 10 km trasa wyciska z nas pot i łzy. Kolejność: zejście na dół – wejście ... read more

Limited internet connectivity at the Grand Canyon, my phone does pretty well if I placed it in the right window of the RV, so there are 3 days covered in this blog. Day 11 - Sunday the 19th was a day of much needed rest; Mi Hyon and I hung around the Zion River RV resort and enjoyed some great weather. Many of you may not know, but Mi Hyon has a stream fetish and loves to sit by the river w/ her feet in the cold water. Add some Lager and it just doesn't get much better for her. For me it was nice to not have to drive anywhere until Monday...then it's a short 320 miles to the Grand Canyon... Day 12 - It's now Monday and we're on the road again w/ some ... read more

We've done it - the Grand Canyon. We travelled from Sedona to Flagstaff -where we stopped at a Downtown Diner for pancakes and french toast and blueberries with half a gallon of maple syrup- we then took the Old Fort Valley Road, avoiding a busy highway....a great route with beautiful pine forests and snow toped mountain views. When we stopped at Valle we filled up the gas ( see I am talking american already)and got our Grand Canyon Park pass and so at the entry gate to the park we could sail on through pretty quick. I did book our campsite ages ago ( just as well as they are all full) and so we got straight into it ...parked up and in no time armed with shuttle bus maps we got going for the South ... read more

Dawn wanted to take the kids on a big trip before Dimitri goes off to college and spring break was the perfect time to do that. She had in mind the Grand Canyon so I investigated various itineraries and it turns out that flying in to Las Vegas, renting a car, and then driving to the Grand Canyon with a stop at Hoover Dam made the most sense from both a financial and quality of experience standpoint. Spirit Airlines had the best fares but, as it turns out, they charge $50 a bag even for carry-ons if they don’t fit under the seat. The flight was late leaving Houston on Sunday and the airline didn’t provide any explanations so Spirit did not get off on the right foot with us. We got into McCarran Airport in ... read more
