I miss my Dutch friends! We had the pleasure of their company for a mere 12 days....and in the process put a lot of miles on my car!

Itinerary:

Day Two: JetLag day, around Redlands and up the mountains to Lake Arrowhead and around the Rim of the World Highway.
Day Three: Palm Springs.
Day Four: SHOPPING in Redlands. Ultrasound for my 'pillow' in my shoulder. Pasadena for a speech about the Civil War by my beau at the Historical Museum.
Day Five: Early: Left for Southwest Adventure: Indio for date farm, East around Phoenix, AZ, North through Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon. Denny's in Flagstaff for dinner, where it SNOWED! On to our hotel in Williams, AZ.
Day Six: Grand Canyon
Day Seven: Left Williams, AZ and headed Northwest. Stopped at vista for Lake Mead, then took a tour of the Hoover Dam. Arrived Las Vegas Flamingo hotel for check-in and a show at Planet Hollywood. Cruised the Strip, ate late dinner (12:30am).
Day Eight: Strolled the habitat at the Flamingo hotel, checked out, headed downtown. Stopped for lunch buffet at Circus Circus. Cruised by the Pawn Stars (TV show) Gold and Silver Pawn shop (there was a line) and downtown for the 'Fremont Street Experience'. Headed Southwest for home. Stopped in Baker, CA to see World's Largest Thermometer (newly renovated and working).
