First Day of our America's Canyonlands Vacation.

---

We arrived at Walmart in Bowling Green,Ky at 5:50am. Our son, Scott, drove us there. We boarded the motor coach and left for Nashville airport at 6:15. We met our tour director,Jud Spencer, with Holiday Vacations. Our tour guide is Shane Holinde, WBKO's weather man. We arrived at the airport around 7:30. We boarded our airplane and left Nashville around 9:40 and landed at Dallas-Fort Worth around 11:30am. We left at 1:35pm and landed in Phoenix at 1:45 mountain time. Both flights were very smooth. We then boarded a motor coach that brought us to Embassy Suites Biltmore. After we checked in we walked around the area. The temperature is 85 degrees. In the background one can see the breath taking view of Camelback Mountain. We went to a welcome reception in the lobby area at 5:30. We have really enjoyed meeting all the people on our tour. Afterwards we ate supper at The Omaha Steakhouse and the food was very good. We will leave at 7 am by motor coach to begin our adventure.
