gambled a little but never hit a
Jack-pot, but it was all new to us
and very exciting.
The meals were very good and
inexpensive. Two days we went on
a tour in a bus rented and driven by
Carl Nesbitt. We saw the Hoover
Dam and the Grand Canyon,
mountain goats and road runners.
The mountains were all shapes,
colours and sizes, it was breath
taking.
Then day two we visited the
chocolate factory, cactus garden
and Liberace museum with all his
cars and pianos covered in glass
and rhinestones and a wardrobe
that was out of this world.
The rest of the time was spent
shopping and just taking in the
wonderful sites. We left for home
at 1:15. The flight was a little rough
in places. We were travelling 621
miles per hour. We boarded the
bus at 8:50 and arrived back in
Blyth at 12:30 p.m. Thursday.
Carman and I would like to thank
Radford’s for making this trip
