We left Santa Clara to return to Olahoma...reverse Okie trek. Drove to the Grand Canyon, got out, looked at same, awesome (no, actually, the real meanining of the word..awe inspiring)  Got back in car, drove to motel, slept. Then, as a geology student,more than 30 years later, I revisited the most beautiful hole in the world. Truly astounding!! Don't miss it before you leave this plane...that's my advice.

My favorite trip started by flying into Las Vegas getting my rental car and getting out of Vegas. For the next seven days I  visited  Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon NP,  Capitol Reef  NP, Arches NP, Canyonlands NP and  Monument Valley Tribal Park.  The sights and colors were incedible as well as each being very different one from another.  Each night I would review the pictures I had taken that day and fall asleep wondering if the next days visit could possibly match what I had already seen.  After eight glorious days and over 750 photos with nary a bad one in the bunch I returned home tired but relaxed and refreshed.

 have been to Germany the Mosley is nice. Paris is awful looks good from 500 fett not up close. Rio now that is a place everyone should see before they die. The Brazilian have a saying took God 6 dyas to create the universe 3 days he need to make RIO. The museums don't hold the art that the landscape does there, not counting the women. But, I am married to a Brazialian woman might be bias. Rio from the surgar loaf is breathe taking and the pictures do not do it justice. The peopel have all day parties they grill meat eat drink a little all day . They don't care who you are are what you do it is not about the money it is about life. The Palce there is nice too. A long trip from the coast up a mountain built by a king for his wife It is cooler there she hate the heat.Sometimes I look at the articles here I wonder who pays to get them written. Isreal? Yeah I really want to go to a place I am hated get shot at a hot desert. Religious expierence, huhlike I ever get the hell out of this hell hole I know where I am not going again.

If traveling the world is a religious experience then I will pass. My travels are always a trip to get away from people.

If you do the Grand Canyon, go Rim to Rim starting at the North Rim and hike out at the South Rim. Stay 2 nights at the Phantom Ranch at the bottom of the Canyon on the Colorado River - No later than June 1st.

If you can handle India for at least a month, then Nepal and Thailand would be on my list as well as the Maldive Islands.  Then you would be a changed person. I would say you need six months and $US 8,000.00 + airfare to do it right.

How can Israel be the seat of Islam as you state in this article??? Mohammad never was in Israel. It is never mentioned in the Qu'ren ( Koran). No Islamists were in Israel. The only connection to Islam in Israel occurred four hundred years after Mohammad's Death when the Islamists first started claiming that the white Horse that carried him to Heaven leaped into the air in Mecca, landed in Israel for a second and then leaped up to heaven. This justifies their claim to much of Israel.
