I've been to most of the places listed above, and enjoyed every one of my vacations and visits (even visited the General Store in Luckenbach before attending a Willie Nelson concert at Floore's Country Store in Helotes, TX)....but out of all the places I've been to so far, I would recommend that everyone go see the Grand Canyon once in their life. Hands down, the most spectacular natural wonder of the world--that first glance is guaranteed to take your breath away. (Consider it as a possible sidetrip from Las Vegas if you're out that way.)
I'm not into that donkey, hiking, camping thing...I just stayed at the lodge to take in the view.

Thelma and Louise. That filming of the canyon was beautiful. I've never been either. Remember the hovaround wheelchair commercial where they sat on the edge of the canyon. 
:roll: doing the same stuff.How funn. Edited

There is Nothing like family!!!!!!
It rained like so much when I went, we weren't sure if we would be able to ride, but we found the right time!!

I am so glad you said this Shelly. It is what I've been thinking for a while now. I've never been and I think this has got to be my #1 goal in the next year....well, aside from the soiree...

You two are such daredevils
Ooh ooh, me too! Is on my list to do!
Sowal road trip? I'm game. Have always wanted to do a hot air balloon over the canyon!
I'll wave atcha from the ground
I'm totally game too.....except for the hot air balloon part...
How cool would that be for sowal to go to the canyon. I know she's working on acheiving her move to Florida but just maybe if it worked out, I could take Ali. I know she would love to see it.As I'm plummeting to the ground?
I absolutely agree with Shelly. I've always said that once you've seen the Grand Canyon, everything else is "just scenery".
Go to the North Rim. About 1/10 the crowds of the South Rim. And, if you're driving in from the west, you can stop off at Zion Nat'l Park, which is pretty nice scenery, too.

I would also recommend that you make the trip in Spring or Fall after the tourist season. We threw a blanket down and had a picnic on an outcropping of rocks with the Canyon as a backdrop--no one around and blissful silence. Oddly, my mind had to keep telling my eyes that the beauty and the colors of the Canyon were real and not some backdrop painting from a movie set...:shock: ...sounds a bit strange if you haven't experienced it.
Once you've seen it for yourself, then go again a second time....but take someone that has never been and see it again for the first time through their eyes.

All right--that's it!!! Book it Cork!!
I'm ready. Wonder whats the best way to do it? Anybody got thoughts on renting a motor home for a week? We could share the expenses, cook out etc. Also any cabins in a national park or something?
We can't wait too long baby, I've got my sight on sailing around the world. ;-) Got my first sailing certification a couple of weeks ago and have the next one booked for end of the month.
I'm ready. Wonder whats the best way to do it?

Maybe you'd like to join us....???Oh, absolutely gonna put up a webpage with an ongoing blog of where I am with photos. Saw something like this that a legally blind couple did. I figured if they can do it, "eventually" I can.
Wow, this sounds wonderful Shelly. Las Vegas is on my dreamboard so that feeds 2 birds with 1 piece of bread

There's a guy on...er, uh...another board that I frequent who quit working after 30 years and went on the road on a motorcycle with a sidecar..he and his dog...he blogs every night. Facinating.
I'm telling! You're cheating on Sowal!!!
