I didnt recognize your wife with her clothes on On a more serious note where is this, how many miles did you put on, did you just stay in motels along the way, None of this reservation crap?, how many days ect. More info, we are retired and I am looking for this kind of trip exactly. We are going to the Grand canyon on the railraod trip the middle of this month but I can't believe the cost for a one nite stay, train ride, and a breakfast & dinner. We upgraded to 1st class and its expensive, at least to me:idea: So your trip sounds like what I want to do, more info please, pm me if you like, Thanks, NSF
