Grand Canyon…. originally we planned to rent a car in Las Vegas, drive to the Grand Canyon and then spend a night or two at the South Rim. After calculating the costs for the rental, accomodation, food, petrol and the time it would take for a return trip from Vegas …
Our flight from Hawaii to mainland USA was ok but in no way good, we flew with United airlines again which I had swore to avoid like the plague. This airline doesn’t serve food on their domestic flights (nevermind the fact that we are flying for 5 hours) and the …
