So after a loooooong day of traveling we have finally arrived;)
I’ve learned a couple things right off…

1. My little bit of spanish app homework kinda sorta is paying off!! In Mexico City I did alright;)
2. Flying Aeromexico made me feel like a QUEEN! I mean, dont get me wrong, this girl was flying coach but it was awesome!!
And lastly and probably my most important lesson of the day…
3. When the door to your hostel room is shut…YOU KNOCK! So sorry nice English guy who looked as embarrassed as I felt:/

Halfway through my trip of the Great American Southwest

The first half of my trip is now behind me and it has been so awesome!!! As most things in life happen…even with all the planning that was done, (for anyone that even halfway knows me…knows I over plan everything) we still managed to run into a couple snafus;) All the planning in the world can’t overcompensate for
1. A positive attitude
2. Being prepared
3. A strong drink
Ps… If your having problems with #1… Skip 2 and move straight to 3…. It works, believe me.

Here’s where we have been so far:
Santa Fe, NM
Kanab, UT
Zion National Park (Hiked The Narrows)
Flagstaff, AZ
Sedona, AZ
Grand Canyon (Hiked Bright Angel Trail)
***and of course all the little places in between;)

In light of the snafus we ran into, I’ll be posting a couple of “Survival Guides” to help with that #2 I was telling you about;)
HERE ARE A FEW PICTURES…I’ll be posting the rest of them under the Places I’ve Been page so they are attached to the right place

Here I Go!

I wouldn’t consider myself a well traveled person…that has to change! Seeing God’s work across our country is extremely high on my list and this roadtrip starts me off!;)
See God’s beauty 2013;)
