Holiday Inn The Grand Montana-Billings

... clever.<br><br>If anyone knows of this disease, please can you let me know the cure. But please, please bear in mind that i think we are talking hours rather than days. As I write this, I grow weak. I'm not long for this world. <br><br><br>Thought of the Day<br><br>I must go in, the fog is rising.<br><br>For reference<br><br>I still have so much to give.<br>I hope men will say of me that I did duty by my country.<br>

The Hampton was nice, new and comfortable. We woke this morning, enjoyed the hotel breakfast. We organized our bags and cleaned out the car; tossed out our cooler, food, drinks and utensils then headed for the airport. Billings is another extremely small airport. It was easy to park the rental car and walk to the gate. <br><br>Let the all day journey home begin....<br><br>We're delayed to Denver, 20 minutes.<br>

... br>back-tracked 30 seconds of conversations trying to remember if I had<br>said I was from Liverpool. I'm sure I hadn't, in fact I knew I<br>hadn't. Sleepless paranoia started to kick in, but it must have shown<br>on my face as Bart informed me that he had mentioned it on the drive<br>up Big Dan was keen to talk to me about accents (apparently<br>Australian is the new vogue for adverts in US). I explained that a<br ...

... cheapest around .Brent also had his eyes tested and new glasses ordered.By mid afternoon we were back on the road  heading for Bozeman and another costco, where they checked the wheel nuts and made sure we were good to go. Great service.we arrived at a little town called Ennis around 7 pm, a long day for us.<br><br> <br>

... disgusting excuse of a human being!' With that, and still shaking, I turned round, sat down and tried to calm down. The guy next to me started clapping and then the whole bus errupted and started cheering. Even the bus driver annouced a big 'thank you' over the mic as this man apologised for his sins and shrunk out of embarassment realising what he had been doing wrong....<br><br>..yeah AAAAS IF!<br><br>I, like eeeeveryone else on that bus, just sat there and did not ...

... which is the first KOA and probably one of the best. It sits among towering pine trees along the Yellowstone River. The lawns are lush and flowers are present on most sites. We're here for only one night because Danny has found a way for us to go to Yellowstone National Park that won't be too far out of our way from our original destination of Banff. Helen has never been to Yellowstone but has always wanted to see it so tomorrow we head further west.

... the tasselled leather jackets and rhinestone studded belt buckles you could possibly want.  I'm hoping we'll be on our way in the next hour or so, although one of my objectives of seeing a sunset over the Pacific is in jeopardy as it is 982 miles to the coast, and I have to pick Mum and Dad up from Seattle airport tomorrow evening.  Ah well, we'll see how it goes.  We'll get as far as we possibly can today.  More later.<br>RnH x

... the plain, and is well preserved. Clark actually etched his name in the stone, and it is clearly visible. On the Yellowstone River side of the tower is a stone formation that evokes the face of a lion even today. This was a sacred site for native Americans. Deer Medicine Rocks is another scared rock site where, in June 1876, Sitting Bull had a vision foretelling the defeat of Custer. His fellow Sioux told the story of his ...

MJ woke at 6am and got up circa 6.15am for a walk up the road. Total quiet in the South Dakotan Black Forest. There is a miniature railway that follows the road criss-crossing it every 500 yds. Saw about 10 vehicles in 2 hours. An amazing feeling of complete peace. We managed to sort out some postcards/letters in the small PO in town and found a small shop next door that did excellent coffee a la Starbucks. Then headed off ...

... at the hands of one of the worst military leaders our country had. If Custer had been in Vietnam he would have probably been fragged. If you look at where the men were you would realize they were sitting ducks. Custer was looking for glory and had no regard for the safety of his men and he led them into a trap. Our history books in school as I was growing up pretty much touted "manifest destiny" as god's will. I don't buy that. I read an interesting ...
