After visiting the canyons we headed towards Salt Lake City to visit Gara. On her last trip to USA, Miss W tried to visit Gara but their schedules didn’t work out. So this time she is determined to meet her chat room friend. We didn’t realise that Thanksgiving was Thursday; we thought it was Friday [...]
I don’t think I need to write much about these two days except to say what spectacular views we saw while driving through Zion Canyon and up into Red Canyon and Bryce Canyon. Zion and Bryce Canyon on PhotoPeach Miss W has just learnt how to create a video and upload it to Youtube. Here [...]
Do we go to the skywalk today and rush it or do we get closer to the west rim by staying at Kingman and do the skywalk tomorrow? Kingman, it is. We followed the Joshua Tree Parkway. To start with, this tree looked like a multi-branched yucca plant. But looking more closely, it didn’t seem [...]
Tracy and her family, Chris, Ethan and Em made us feel very welcome while staying at their house. Em really loved having me there and I slept in a warm bed every night while having great conversations with young Em. We visited 9 different classes while there. Most of these classes have only been blogging [...]
OK, we have two nights in Tucson so let’s head towards the Mexican border near Nogales. On the way we looked at the San Xavier mission building. But as it was raining, we didn’t get out of the car as we had to go over roads that could end up being flooded. Miss W had [...]

Leaving Wichita after a great breakfast with Tom, Miss W decided to follow the main highway to just north of Oklahoma City. Usually she prefers the smaller roads and scenic byways, but with the amount of rain in the last few days and more being predicted, she felt it was safer on the highway as [...]
WOW! I am so far behind in my posts. Miss W and I are having such a great time speaking to chat room friends, visiting schools and meeting teachers and students that we are exhausted at the end of the day. After leaving Kansas City, our first stop was to meet Britta, a chatroom friend, [...]
Another long drive from Cincinnati to St Louis and then trouble finding the motel which was down on the riverfront in what looked like a very rundown area. Spent the next morning at the Gateway Arch. Watched a video about Lewis and Clerk’s journey across USA following the Missouri River to its source. Then up [...]
After an uneventful drive from Zanesville, we arrived in Cincinnati early afternoon so as the car was due another service, found a Firestone near the motel. Luckily we did, as they found a nail in one of the tyres and fixed it for us.A bit of a hassle though, as Alamo could only give me [...]
