A summer in Tempe

Beautiful country with beautiful people. I am coming back to explore more of this country.

Our road trip to California and Arizona with our bub. October/November 2007

Sittin' here, last day in Arizona before our long haul over to LA... Oh Page! The nightlife here is crazy! (sarcasm) But really, it's GORGEOUS... Carol's laying next to me craving steak and eggs, Anna's over there still in bed, Tony is somewhere, and we're off to Le Grande Canyon! More later (plus pics) when we get to Mr Tom's tonight :)   

We stayed at the Arizona Biltmore. I was a really nice time.

Today's plan was to drive for as long as we could, and then see where that would get us.  I was thinking we would end up in Winslow, Arizona, instead we stopped for the night in Holbrook, Arizona, which is 30 miles away.  Although we were on the road for 16 hours, it was a pleasant day.  For lunch, we stopped at a rest area, and had a picnic.  The main ingredient, smelly cheese my roommate was trying to get rid of for weeks.  We stayed at an Econo-lodge for $53, clean…

Friday, April 14, 1989   We were up pretty early. With a nine week old you really don’t get a normal night’s rest. Margo has always done more than half of the nightly feedings and on this trip, she probably did most of them. Her maternal instincts had taken over, and she was going to focus all of her attention on the baby.   We knew we wanted to walk the trails around the immediate area and get over to Bright Angel Point, which would give us the best views of the canyon. Plu…

Trip to Phoenix, Arizona from Orlando, FL. Grand Canyon & Sedona.

The city of the Grand Canyon baby

The road trip with the girls from camp. California-Utah-Colorado-Texas-New Mexico-Nevada-Arizona-California-Mexico then back to Santa Cruz to finish it off with a bang........I drove the whole way, 7500miles.

Einen wunderschönen guten MOrgen allerseits,die Nacht war schlimm!Ich wollte ja noch was zu unserem Hostel sagen...Es sind drei aneinander gereihte Flachdachhäuser mit jeweils zwei Wohnungen drin, total runtergekommen, wir sind noch am Überlegen, ob Leute in den USA in Trailerparks luxuriöser leben, aber im Prinzip isses auch cool, weil wir sechs Betten haben, eine eigene Wohnung, eine eigene Küche mit Bar etc.Allerdings Käfer/Kakiplage, allerdings die in der WOhnung alle tot - ic…

I hiked from South Rim down to the bottom of the canyon and then hike back up in three days. The trip was a total of 17 miles.

We drove to the Grand Canyon around 10:00 AM and stayed there until 3:00 PM. We stopped at a bunch of overlooks of which I thought the Hopi Overlook was the best view. It was truly spectacular and there aren't words to describe how tiny I felt standing at the rim and looking out ten miles across a gash in the very landscape. There was a strange mix of humility, awe and strength forming a cacophonous silence between the crowd and the canyon. I was just dumbstruck and had that same feeli…

So, Wednesday we got up bright and early (6am is TOO early) to meet a shuttle bus that was picking us up. It dropped us at the underground car park of Planet Hollywood where we got a very crappy breakfast (a honey bun and a bottle of water doesnt not a breakfast make) before boarding a coach that was going to take us to the Grand Canyon. Our driver was called Leroy and during our trip he gave us a brief history of the area all the way to our first stop which was Hoover Dam. We only got…

What better way to spend the first day of 2008 but in the beautiful Supersistion Mountains in Arizona!
