h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm back, and had a fantastically groovilicious brilliant time

Couldn't possibly write everything here so I'm gonna write it all in an entry once I've finished writing bits down in my notebook! To summarise, we saw...

Las Vegas
Grand Canyon (and took a flight over it)
Painted Desert
Sunset Crater Volcano
Meteor Crater
Monument Valley
Mexican Hat
Four Corners monument (where 4 states meet)
Antelope Canyon
Grand Staircase Escelante
Bryce Canyon
Salt Lake City
Yosemite National Park
Death Valley
!

Also saw Kaibab, Conico, Inyo, Dixie and other national forests on our routes. Drove along the bottom of a canyon, through a tornado and round the edges of mountains with big drops below! Saw dinosaur tracks and poo. Met New York ladies straight out of Jerry Springer, Forrest Gumps from Alabama, and a nice Navajo indian called Dave.

Bit I'm missing most - chilling out in Death Valley, in a chemical-free natural spring fed swimming pool at a natural 84 degrees..

It's bloody cold here!

Sounds like you had a busy time, great to see you back, of course : Picked the rong time weather wise, its really just turned cold the last few days I've got the heating on full as I type, and all* the windows are firmly closed Take it easy, don't won't you coming down with somethin from teh tempurature change Can't wait to read all about it when you've the entry done Welcome HomE!!!

Can I ask what's so special about American pants that you're missing them especially??

B

they're around american cowboy bums

welcome back! glad to hear you had a fab time and can't wait to hear all the details!!! It sounds so exciting How was the wedding?

The wedding all went lovelyley! Everybody watching on the 'net at home saw the proceedings - we all waved to the webcam at the end . All had a turn standing up out of the sunroof of the limo while riding down the strip on the way to our reception

sounds ,magic> You going to be making it to the Christmas meet in London?; A1314253 I feel a bit hungover this morning which is strange... the empty wisky bottle... the empty can of stout... the two hours spent last night in the pub... Hmm, I wonder if there is a connection between these things somehow

Oooh thanks for that link, I've been meaning to check it out for the last couple of hours but keep getting distracted

Glad you had a good time babe, so which was your favourite bit?

I've just got back from Boston myself, whew planes are fun!

Hey MO! How are you feeling? Planes are fun . I was sitting with a very seasoned flyer on one trip, but even he couldn't resist looking out the window on take-off!

Best bit - is very difficult! Grand Staircase Escalante was the most suprisingly stunning place. That's the bit I first think of when thinking of the biggest 'wow' out of the trip. I'd recommend that to anyone, even though it's an unpaved road, and Chris (the driver) got a blister from the vibrations of the steering wheel! and the car nearly broke down afterwards!
My friends saying their wedding vows though - that was the most wonderfully happy bit

I'm feeling good, lots of things going on in RL, getting a new job (whatever that may be from self stacker to perl develper) and well just lots of money I owe and I don't care
