Yesterday started early but well until I realised that I had been sent to the wrong hotel for my pick up to get to Grand Canyon. One minute of panic and then jumped in a taxi to the appropriate pick up! Got there in time to stop the bus from leaving but then did the 'walk of shame' all the way up the bus apologising to everyone.
I forgot how awful bus trips are but when it's the only way to go you put up with it!
Our first stop was the Hoover dam and I actually walked across the bridge without my usual fear of heights!
On arrival at the Grand Canyon it was straight to the helipad for those of us having a trip into the canyon.
As we lifted off from the pad the pilot told us to check out the edge coming up - I think my stomach and helicopter dropped at the same time!! It was a little scary but you soon got over the nerves! We landed in the bottom of the canyon.
The 'cliff face' seemed very close but we made it!
Once down we walk to the water an boarded a small boat for a short trip.
After the boat trip we had to wait for the helicopter to come back and then we were took the trip back out.
A shuttle bus took us to a couple of different places and the views were amazing!
