Well the trip is over lasting more than a month. We are ready to return to our comfortable and ordinary life (for awhile). The trip was enjoyable and interesting. We can recommend Uniworld River Cruises as we had no complaints, great food and great service from that group. Our ...

... are beautiful...from the southwestern designs molded into the overpasses to the extensive landscaping with cacti and succulents along the roadsides and at the intersections. Besides that, it seems like they are litter conscious or have a great cleaning service, as the highways are very clean.
