Trip for a lifetime


Wow those 3 days full of life. Every moment full of energy. May be i can recall where it started but not possible to say if it ever ended. So many things so many experiences all for a good reason conspired to fall in those 3 short days. Looks like even a blink takes more time than those days could survive. It's fun and more than enough even if a single first taste sets you on cloud 9 and here it was a treasure of first time everlasting experiences.

Hard to beat the adrenal rushing in the blood when chopper inclines by 80 degrees to change the direction. That 2 min ride at Hoover dam for mere 29$ was worth winning a 20 million jackpot at ph casinos in Vegas. Even before this mesmerizing experience there was a lot that happened to add the colors on this trip. I voluntarily skipped my SFO to LA flight for 320$ southwest airlines offer.

Anyways back to the Hoover dam from where we headed to grand canyon. I was not sure before reaching what exactly the place is for and I was not even willing to ask to take it a surprise. As we approached towards the canyon it reminded me of my last years great trip with Oliver to Yosemite national parks. However last 20 Miles ride was pretty rough to canyon due to under construction roads. And finally when reached it was albeit rainy over there. By the time we reached for the skywalk it already started raining. It was really an added joy to look into the infinity from the skywalk 5 layered glass floor. Sahar, Athar, n Kiran were not in mood to get
drenched so walked quickly over the sky missing almost everything American tourism estimated $60 per head. N there were two fun loving souls on the glass floor along with worried Nayab for her hairs getting straightened due to rain. It was a divine experience for the evils roaring in joy leaving no one else but 3.j But for the high risk of lightning we were forced to leave the skywalk by care takers. We took pics like crazy over there and finally headed for camping which was a 4 hours drive. After covering more than 70% distance we realized that may be we are too tired for the camping. That said within 5 min we took a u-turn towards Vegas. It was already around 9 so thought to have dinner and look for a motel to stay overnight. Pizza hut had good veggies to feed us and Marriott had good mattresses to let us fell unconscious. Kiran's $70 saving on armed official discount made it a great deal.

And then there was a lovely morning, and the shouts from Vegas pulling us to dive into a all new world set to spark a spot in the deserts of Arizona. We reached to Vegas around 2pm and looked for an Indian cuisine. Himayalya Indian cum Nepalese cuisine was descent and much higher than my expectations in taste. We already had a booking in hotel Rinahossence in Vegas that I would say was a lavish hotel with a fascinating large indoor 24hrs pool n spa. We were in no mood waste time to pamper our laziness so did a quick check in and moved out of hotel leaving Vicky.

Looks like the night at Vegas deserves a whole new post to mention those precious moments full of energy shouting "whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas"
