Thursday 4 Oct St George to Vegas

We slept in a little and Opal finished almost all the reservation changes. After a light breakfast at the coffee shop next door, we packed up our things and filled a flat rate box to mail at the post office….no need to carry those travel books all over the country, now that the touring part of our trip is coming to an end.

Other than the first 30 minutes (a pass thru massive rock canyons), the route to Vegas was 75mph (legal limit) all the way across mostly barren desert - about a 2 hour shot to Vegas. The only ‘fun’ was watching the trucks seemingly racing with each other at 75mph; sometimes one would get an uphill advantage and pass, but soon another one would get the edge and pass.

For some reason Vegas is nearly sold out these next few days… our normal haunts fully booked, so we ended up in the Candlewood Suites, on Paradise, right by Terrible’s….nice big rooms, a laundry for Opal to hang out and fast internet!!!!! So I can catch up the last week of blogs and pictures!

Tomorrow we’ll be flying to Wisconsin to visit Opal’s niece and family, and the week after that we'll be visiting our daughter, son-in-law, and grand-daughter in Santa Rosa.

So the Southwest adventures of Opal and Earl for 2007 has come to an end. Perhaps next year we’ll embark on Part II.
