We took our time this morning, we were able to sleep in for the first time this week and one of only a few times on this trip so far. All we had to do this morning was get ready and wait for our cousins to arrive. I took advantage of the down time and went to the pool to do my water exercises and swim for a bit before getting ready. They got here just in time for lunch, so we headed to TGI Fridays in Sam's Town. After lunch the plan was to go visit the famous ...

We arrived in Vegas after driving 168 miles... boy it's hot here. Now that we are in Nevada, this makes state number 43 for me. Gil had been here before on work trips. We are staying at Sam's Town, a casino hotel that also has a campground. They are not on the busy strip and provide a shuttle. After setting up the RV at the campsite we headed to The Mirage to catch the Terri Fator show. We missed the Shuttle because it was parked further up from where we thou...

We had breakfast at The Spotted Dog, a hotel restaurant across from where we stayed that offered a breakfast buffet. Breakfast was delicious and we were now ready for the day ahead. We...

The drive to the campground would have us cross the National Park from the East entrance to the South and out of the park into the town of Springdale. Even though it was not a lot of miles to cover, the drive would be slow through the park. Also the park has two tunnels a...

The routine this morning was more relaxed because reservations were already made and we planned on eating out tonight. We headed out to catch the same 11AM shuttle so we could get to town and visit Antelope Canyon, but before let me digress. On Friday after our tour to Rainbow Bridge National Monument I spend the afternoon taking care of the laundry - there is no way around those mundane tasks when you are on the road for over 3 weeks, but at least I could do ...
