Yes...How interesting, I was in Dallas in '84. <br />Yes the Grand Canyon is "Grand" , but you have to spend more than 15 minutes. I too am a planner. An old friend of mine taught me "plan your work / work your plan" . Just "Work It"! You'll get there.what'supwithsusanandcompanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13314263752153548219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-14953497381947064642011-07-04T14:37:19.331-07:002011-07-04T14:37:19.331-07:00My sis-in-law spent 6 days last Mat at the grand c...My sis-in-law spent 6 days last Mat at the grand canyon and had a wonderful time! It is so different now....once you are at the campground (for hookups and pull throught sites..the campground is not that scenic and spaces are very close together)there are shuttle busses that take you wherever you want spaced 15 minutes apart (free)...there is no driving allowed any more with the park...it is a good thing, I think. The buses are huge. You can get on one...walk the trail a bit then get on the next bus. I agree with meowmamma...the summer is just packed mostly with foreigners...sometimes you think you are the only one that speaks English!...in May it was cold but quite the experience to see the Canyon with a dusting of snow.ain't for city galshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938751007704247232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-44219395714986524072011-07-03T12:57:27.437-07:002011-07-03T12:57:27.437-07:00Don't go in the summer....

Since we have had the pass we pass thru Grand Canyon almost every trip to Arizona, either on the way in or out. Winter is our favourite time, and often Death Valley or other treats become impromptu routes. The first trip we had the pass it paid for itself the first day (Bryce or Zion), and we just have to remember to keep it in the wallet. And only one of you needs to be 62 or older ;-)eirenenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-27952738065326136972011-07-03T07:57:08.225-07:002011-07-03T07:57:08.225-07:00I am a planner too.

One thing I've learned is to have different options because circumstances often change our direction.

Hope you can pull it all together so keep the dream alive by planning your trip to the Grand Canyon for sure. And, all the other great Canyons in the neighborhood as well. They are all beautiful in their own distinct ways:))Al Bossencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307619781955351484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-38126359574342853652011-07-02T21:58:40.885-07:002011-07-02T21:58:40.885-07:00happy planning!!!..dream on Merikay!..some days th...happy planning!!!..dream on Merikay!..some days that is the only thing that keeps us going!!Sue and Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11436889944386917688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-87086762990228462722011-07-02T20:30:17.124-07:002011-07-02T20:30:17.124-07:00Whenever you get to the Grand Canyon, it will be w...Whenever you get to the Grand Canyon, it will be worth the trip.
