Tier Point Run to Hawaii in Feb 2024

My first trip to Hawaii in more than 12 months - I'm getting withdrawal symptoms! This trip starts in Amsterdam and follows the well-trodden path of flying over to Hawaii via London Heathrow, New York JFK and Los Angeles LAX. I start with an initial positioning flight from Heathrow to Amsterdam.

A mighty view in Yellowstone National Park

Holiday to Pacific West Coast in Jun 2012: Day 20 – Grants Pass to Crater Lake to Sacramento

Unbelievable day today. We both felt better having changed our travel plans. Heading south into the warmth makes so much more sense.

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!

Never mind what time we woke (it was 6am by the way), today was Grand Canyon day. We left Kingman and drove 175 miles north east to Grand Canyon Village.
