We are excited also! We're just not packed up and ready yet, but we will be by tomorrow!
I am so glad to have my brother, Don, joining us for our hike into the Grand Canyon. Don, Norma, Donna, and Ginny (my sisters) did this hike in 2011 while I was Thru-Hiking the A.T. Ginny made a DVD of their adventure, and I have to tell you that watching their adventure on DVD made me want to go hike in the Grand Canyon all the more.
We are looking forward to seeing a couple, Thomas "Snake Hips" & Sue "Spud", who I met on the A.T. They are now living in St.George, Utah and we plan to meet them at Zion National Park for a day hike. Here they are on top of Stone Mtn., the 500 mile mark on our Appalachian Trail Thru-Hike:
I will be journaling each day while on this trip and will post those journals here for you to enjoy.
Remember how I told you that Norma and I are planning a 20-day Tour of Australia/New Zealand next year? Well, we are going in March (not October) of 2014. And, now we are four! Besides Norma and I, our sister Donna, and my friend Jeanne are also going with us! It will be so much fun and adventure! Anyone interested in this once in a lifetime adventure go to www.holidayvacations.net and click on the Australia/New Zealand icon to view the itinerary for this Tour.
