Our first trip out of Las Vegas was the GRAND CANYON. After a hectic trip from Shreveport, arrving at our hotel about 11PM Sunday evening (and with a 2 hour time differential), we had to be "on the bus" at 6:30 AM Monday morning. We didn't arrive at the Grand Canyon until 2PM, but it was well worth the trip. Bobby had been there before, but for Thom it was a magnificent first experience. It is something you hear about all your life, but until you stand at that rim, and peer down, you can't really understand the vastness of the place. We had a little over 2 hours there, then another long bus trip back to the hotel, It was a very tiring day, but certainly one we will not soon forget. The new suspended "overlook" which has been in the news lately was not yet operational, nor in the area we visited.
