Day 01 - Sat 25 April

Welcome to the USA
The flight was about 30 minutes late leaving, but we made up most of the time and only arrived 10 minutes late. Got through customs easily, but then spent almost two and a half hours getting our car! Dollar seemed to be staffed by rejects from the film Shaun of the Dead.......Seriously?!?

Normal blogging service will hopefully be restored shortly....

Access is just too flakey to get images uploaded here at the Grand Canyon, it can barely do text :(

Suffice to say we are now on day 3, and all is well. Had a good journey from Kingman to the Grand Canyon and have been looking around here all day today.

For those that asked, the hire car is a ... on second thoughts we'll tell you later. 106 miles on day 1, 280 miles on day 2 and 15 miles on day 3, a total so far of 401 miles. Tomorrow we leave for Bryce Canyon, another 310 miles.

Hopefully we will be able to blog properly from there.
