close to 2236 Miles rather 3598 Kms and 10+ states. No doubt that this is one of the best year-end vacations I had!We were at Houston on Christmas Eve, traveled and chilled at San Diego beach, walked on Rodeo Drive at Los Angeles, gained/lost a few dollars in MGM Casino at Las Vegas, saw the last Sunset of
2008 at Grand Canyon. It’s quite exhilarating just to recap it now! We did watch the beautiful sunrise of 2009 at Grand Canyon too.The other exciting feature of this trip is I got an opportunity rather privilege to join an amiable Chinese group. I may have missed some instant jokes, as I did not follow Mandarin/Chinese. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed each and every moment..its jus that it would have been more if I had known Chinese.
Two things you gain on a drive like this- Budget, it was far less from what I had planned/expected!
- Countryside views are breathtaking and they slurp you without any mercy!
Other highlight of this trip is the perfect planning by my Chinese friends! Every hotel, show and tickets were booked in advance.
Not a minute was wasted on deciding what to see! Infact, the plan was more sophisticated than a multiphase project plan with percentages of fun, travel and hotel stay marked for entire trip! The photos were consolidated at the end, written into DVDs ad were distributed.
Phew..they are simply superb! One of my friends cautioned and asked me to think twice before I go for this!The reason being that the group is new and I need to get engaged with them for almost 2 weeks.
On quick retrospection, guess I would have missed a lovely expedition by not joining them !!
