The Grand Canyon Aug 2009
- Well it has been a while that I have been away from my sites, and also from twitter. I had a lot of work on my hand to take care of away from web8:55 PM Oct 16th from web
- Especially over the past month it was very busy. I just came back from Berlin. I had a conference there it was a very busy 6 days. I’m home again.
- But took as usual loads a photos and learnt a lot about the city which hopefully I will be sharing on my site and here soon #Berlin #Germany
- I have to say that the history of the city #Berlin is full of wounds and scars.
- But getting back to my travel story telling. I think I’m going to pick up where I had left off which is the last couple of days of my trip to AZ
- I am at my twitter update on Day 8 of my trip to #Arizona which was the day I got to see for the first time The Grand Canyon. Magnificent!
- Well it was an early start that day I had to be ready at 6:30 AM for pick up by the bus tour guide operated by www.OpenRoadTours.com
- I didn’t book directly through them though. I did it through @ViatorTravel which is a company I trust their tour choice whenever I’m booking tours.
- It was an early start for a long day ahead. It was a whole day tour. Lots of stops which was great that our tour guide had lots of information.
- Luckily the lovely lady working at @ChaparralSuites serving breakfast made me an egg burrito to go when she saw me with my backpack. I was all ready to go.
- That gave me a good head start especially with the coffee and the loads of water that was provided by the tour for the long hot day ahead.
