Well, we are back on-line again. We had a great few days in the Hilton Scottsdale, the hotel was very quiet and the last couple of days there were only a handfull of people around the pool area.
During the last week we have been taking it easy somedays and on others walking for a few miles which is rather challenging as sometimes the temperature reached 98 degrees farenhite. We went to the cinema to see UNITED 93 ( the new film about one of the aircraft in the 9/11 episode) a great film and well put together, a must see. We also went to see Robin Williams in RV a film about a guy who takes his family on a two week trip to Colorado in a RV, quite funny really.
The trip up from Scottsdale was uneventfull and we passed over the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead, an impressive sight which we have visited before. They are now building what looks like a new suspension bridge over the dam to improve the traffic flows, this should be an amazing bridge when complete but I guess they have a couple of years to go yet.
We appear to have done over 3200 miles in the last few weeks when covering Nevada, Arizona and Utah but the car has been very good for this purpose, so much so we have requested the same type of car for when we arrive in Denver tomorrow. The weather in Denver is currently showing at 12 degrees Cent and here in Vegas its 34 degrees Centigrade so I suppose we will need our coats.
I have added a couple of pictures of Scottsdale, but did not take many as we decided to take a break in the completion of the daily journal (blog) untill now. When taking pictures I used my little digital camera and have now just noticed that I set it to Black and White pictures. What a twit!! sorry.
Tonight we are on the outskirts of Las Vegas in a place called Henderson which suited our final drive back to Las Vegas and the airport where we have to be by 0730 tomorrow morning after dropping off the car.
