Tier Point Run to Hawaii/San Juan in Feb 2014

Shouldn’t be scary this one - I’ve done overseas trips on my own before (well once), and I’ve worn the t-shirt, and watched the video, and read the book etc. No big deal.

Another excellent breakfast was followed by a late drive into Vegas.  Since this was our last day in Vegas and we would have a very early start tomorrow we wanted to be back to the hotel early.

Had a leisurely breakfast at the hotel which was really good.  Vick tried to lead us to the breakfast restaurant but struggled to work out which way to turn.  The hotel is a complete maze and links up all over the place.

Woke at 7am and left the hotel at the Grand Canyon by 7:30am heading back towards Kingman.  We stopped off at the Starbucks in Williams (about 50 miles from GC) at the junction with the main I40 for the normal coffees and breakfast.

Continued dreaming about falling off the Grand Canyon!  Anyway, breakfast at El Tovar was an experience: waitresses were unattentive, Vick was burnt on her arm when the coffee was refilled, and my eggs were underdone!

Well I wish I hadn’t started reading that blasted book - ‘Over the edge’.  Neither Vick nor I could think about anything other than slipping off the Bright Angel trail and falling to our deaths!  What a dreadful night!
