... respond! to the announcement and before I could decide there were 3 doctors responding. The emergency was in the row in front of us and across the row. Evidently the older man, older than I, had just returned to his seat after going to the rest room and was having a heart attack...they were swift in their response and before we knew what was happening they had lifted him up and had ...

... the afternoon. We will be staying at the Moana Serf Rider for 5 nights and then we will board the Pride of America on Saturday for a cruise around the islands.

Tomorrow and Sunday will be devoted to quilting as we are already packed!
It won't be long now!

... and off-road vehicles were in evidence on the many trails throughout the area. We passed 'Hot Springs' resort, a palm tree filled valley in the wilderness (seemed to be closedand probably a private residence) and all of a sudden were confronted with a sign indicating that much of the road ahead followed a riverbed - Proceed with cautionand watch for flash floods! We proceeded. Even Scott, who has spent ...

... north end of the lake, we had been up and down many slopes and still needed to retrace our steps! We had great views and there was still evidence of the flower show that the park host indicated was at it's peak last week. In the evening, Scott rounded up some wood and we had our first campfire since starting our travels. The moon was almost full, the sky ...

... best last week but there are still many to enjoy. The humidity is about 10-15% so they don't last long once they bloom. Scott joined us in time for dinner tonight so that we would have two full days for activities. Friday night at the movies completed the day as everyone was tired.

... TX. After leaving Rovers' Roost, we were on the lookout for the visitor's center for the Sonoran Desert National Park but are still unable to locate it. I've been collecting national park stamps for the last two years and am sorry to miss this one. The first part of the trip, through this park, lay along I-8 towards Yuma. The scenery is desolate and barren but we got a close-up look at Tabletop Mountain ...

... on to the SUV after riding the first 28 miles out of Kingman, Lawrence started fooling around with the first aid kit. When he pulled out some mole skin, I asked him where he planned on using it and he pointed toward his groin. I assumed that he was opting for the mole skin over the Icy/Hot patch. He surripticiously applied the moleskin from ...

From pheonis we started the drive to Vegas, taking the historic route 66 which spans the width of the country where east meets west. It is in the middle of nowhere and is almost like a ghosttown (there are around 200 ghost towns stil in the USA) as we pull up there are manequins sitting in old chevy's and old bars, roadkill cafe's, wild west convenience stores and souvenier shops... not very much at all. still very interesting and strage place o stop.. very american

... but we're not sure if it's actually a long term spot. Hoping for the best (which involves our car not being towed or impounded), we race into the airport and head for security. The line is a bit long, but we breeze through pretty quick (Although I should have worn flip flops - taking off my shoes was a pain.). Now carrying my shoes as well as my luggage we continue our rapid trek through Sky Harbor. Once we get to ...

... decker train). I woke up early, opened the curtain, and was greeted by 2 feet of snow!!! I thought I was going to the desert! Time to get the thermals out again. The train was 3 hours late and I had missed the 1 coach up to the Grand Canyon, so I had to shell out $130 for a taxi to get up there. Later on though, Amtrak upgraded my return trip to LA - sweet!!! No scummy camping for me - I had a room really close to the South rim of the canyon (no ...
