Go west young woman

So, as many of you know, my next assignment is in California. And as some of you know, dear old dad planned to make the trip with me. We left Monday, January 2nd (with me trying to finish up my recovery from new year's eve!!), bright and sort of early. We drove. And drove. Then we drove some more. We finally ended up Wednesday afternoon in Arizona at the Grand Canyon. Words cannot even begin to describe this big hole in the ground. It is absolutely, without a doubt, amazing. You'll have to wait for pictures though, since we're using Dad's camera (because it's WAY better than mine), and he has to get home, download, copy to disk, then mail it to me. There's no telling how long this will take.
We took off this morning at 0840 Central time. The reason I mention this is because we were supposed to leave at 0700-ish Central time. My dad, who hasn't used an alarm clock in I don't know how long actually overslept! Guess we wore ourselves out stomping around the desert!
We made it to Fresno today and will travel the rest of the way tomorrow. My crazy cats seem to be tolerating the trip well. We had a rough start at the beginning.....they both threw up, (while in their carrier, so at least it was contained.) but once they did that....perfect travel companions. They spend most of the day in the carrier sleeping, then we get them into the hotel room where they eat, pee, and then sleep some more. Ahhh.....the rough and traumatic life of a cat.
Good night friends. I'll post again soon once I'm settled, and have internet access.
