I’m BAA-ACK!!
WE arrived home last night at 9:45. I was up this morning at 8:00 am, and I would’ve posted, but for some reason our internet didn’t work. Eric didn’t have it back up until I got back from grocery shopping. So it’s late, but it’s something!
Just for fun…some random observations from my travels:
- It drives me nuts that so many hotels do not have free internet. Especially the expensive ones. I can get free internet access at the Holiday Inn, but not in Vegas…sheesh!
- It gets a tad boring looking at rocks and holes in the ground for 10 days.
- Vegas is not that fun if you don’t drink, gamble, or enjoy looking at pictures of mostly naked women.
- Bellagio’s fountains are truly the best part of Vegas.
- My favorite national parks in order of most to least favorite
- Arches – neat visuals, fun hike
- Zion – Water in the canyon = trees, grass, vegetation, waterfalls
- Grand Canyon/Bryce Canyon – a tie here, neat spectacle, too many people
- Canyonlands – the hike (in the desert) was the best part
- Capitol Reef – NOT worth a trip by itself, but we just drove through it anyway. It’s on the way between Canyonlands and Bryce
- Utah, Arizona and Nevada are really just long, open, boring stretches of land with NOTHING around except large monoliths of rock (mostly red). There is literally a “town” maybe every 50 miles, usually with no services there.
- It is SOOO good to be home!!!
Anyway, I’ll do some pictures and details next week.
