Vacation Starts in Las Vegas

[Anybodyhome]

Flew out of Raleigh Saturday morning and arrived in Las Vegas around 3PM after a brief layover in Atlanta.

Today we make our way to the Grand Canyon where tomorrow we begin our rafting adventure on the Colorado River thru the canyon for 4 days. Been to the GC looking in from above many times but this is the first time I'll see it from inside at the bottom. We helicopter from the camp at the rim down to the river- my first time back in a helicopter since ditching in the Indian Ocean in 1985 when I said I'd never climb into another one.

4 days completely out of touch- no cell phones, no tablets or laptops, no iPods.Just us, our packs and the Grand Canyon and Colorado River.

Welp, if we don't hear from ya in 4 days, we'll contact some authorities.  I'm sure someone will.  Have fun!

Flew into Vegas Saturday night, stayed over and were flown out on Sunday morning to the North Rim. Got back into Vegas Wednesday evening and we're staying over until Friday morning before flying home.

Yeah, it's hot, but with no humidity it's easier to deal with than eastern humidity. One of our stops today was the Pawn Shop...
