The fuel situation should cause most of us to slow down and enjoy not only the scenery, but the people, cultures, foods and pleasure to be gained from just relaxing more and driving less. PS: I don't think the Snake River is the water you were viewing at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Folks around here call it the Colorado. I believe the Snake River runs thru the Northwest from Wyoming to Washington state. We, like you, had a tendency to RUSH on to the next destination.

I look forward to our return visit to the Grand Canyon -- whenever that may be! Really, I think ALL travel is beneficial. Kristy and I have done our fair share of both domestic and international travel. About 15 years ago I taught English overseas (in the country that was then known as Czechoslovakia). It was a fascinating time to be in Central Europe, as the old regimes had just fallen, and the times they were a changin'. My time in Europe helped me appreciate the wonderful opportunities we have in America. To me, RVing is arguably the best way to dig DEEP when traversing our country. The RV experience brings a sense of adventure to domestic travel. In addition to the comforts of a (nomadic) home, you get the upside of camping and the great outdoors. Hotel stays seem quite insular by comparison. Thanks guys, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I look forward to our return visit to the Grand Canyon — whenever that may be!

Some places are simply amazing to see and it's best if you share these experiences with some one. Darrel, yes there are tons of places right here in the USA but I must say experiencing other cultures is a great thing as well. For those that are fortunate enough to have seen most of the US already owe it to themselves to travel abroad, just my opinion. Thanks again Sean! Keep em coming...We'll be waiting and watching.

Why give money to the rest of the world when we have more than enough here? Thanks.

You're exactly right that visiting other places is one of the best learning opportunities we'll ever have. I'm glad the Grand Canyon - and so many other places in our country - left you "wanting more"! That's one of the wonderful things about our world - we can never experience it all, if we just take a little time to appreciate what's out there. Happy travels :-) Jim B Thanks for sharing this.
