After St George, we drove through some an area called “the Gorge” in the northwest corner of Arizona. The Gorge has even more interesting hills and rock formations. They were as dramatic, but not as nearly as colorful as the hills around St George and Zion National Park. And the highway follows a much more winding path through the hills making it an exciting drive with our luxurious 37-foot home attached. Before leaving St George, the weather guessers and friends who knew where we were going suggested the winds could be a problem, so they urged us to be careful and take it slow. We did take it slower than normal, but the winds weren’t very noticeable we emerged from the Gorge into mostly flat. When our drive was over for the day and we were ... read more

Late start to the day again (this is Vegas) and we went down to the pool area around 11am and stayed there for a few hours. No swimming done but I just spent time relaxing and updating the blog on my iPad and Kerry got deeper into the book she has been reading. One of the strange things about the pool here is they had a pool lane rope splitting the square shape pool in half. They had 2 of the 4 lifeguard towers being used and they would not let anyone go to the half of the pool that was closed off. They charge a resort fee of around $50- per day to use the resort facilities and then only allow you to use half the pool ! Since we are in Paris I had ... read more

Woke up this Sunday morning to another sunny day with fresh mountain air and we went back to Porters Restaurant for breakfast for the second time. We both had the Fruit Parfait and OJ and I had a coffee as well and did not realise our vouchers only allowed one beverage but the waiter said it was all OK. I’d overlooked to mention yesterday that I was able to watch the AFL Grand Final whilst we were staying here on Friday night on ESPN with coverage starting @ 10.30pm and I saw Geelong thrash the Sydney Swans on what looked like a beautiful Melbourne spring day. As we walked back to our room at the back of the complex to get ready to check out we had a quick walk to see the adjoining hobby farm ... read more

15th August, 2022 I got up early to call an audiologist to see if I could get my hearing aid fixed. I made an appointment for 11:00. We got a Lyft up there as it was a long way to walk. The audiologist was great and said that the receiver in the aid had failed and she easily put a new one in and hey presto all fixed. I can hear again. Sandra has wanted to visit the shop where “Pawn Stars“ is filmed. So, from the audiologist we set off on foot. Jeez it was hot. We got half way and saw a Cheesecake Factory shop so we stopped in there to get a drink and some lunch and to cool down a bit. We both had salads and no cheesecake. We set off again ... read more
