Grand Canyon Visit

It is my 40th birthday in September so I am taking a trip to the Grand Canyon on the 20th of this month.

My car mechanic informed me that in order to take the trip I will need 4 brand new tires which my father has volunteered to pay for. Thank God because tires are expensive. I will be driving so my mechanic recommended all 4 tires be replaced.

I’ve never taken a trip out of state alone so that’s a reason why my father has obliged to pay for my tires. He is encouraging me to take this trip. I couldn’t ask for better parents.

If I was younger I would be terrified to take this trip alone but since I’m an old fart now I have no fear whatsoever. I would just like some advice from some older wiser folks here about taking trips alone.

So far I have secured a hotel in Williams, Arizona. A city just below the Grand Canyon. It was cheaper than the Air BnB that I was eyeballing. Arizona is cheaper than California I’m noticing.

Anyway any travelers here are welcome to give me advice as this is the first time I will take a trip and trek out of state alone. I have already secured a ticket for my vehicle to enter the Grand Canyon as well.

Thank you in advance.

P.S. I chose to go this month instead of September because a lot can change in our country in 4 months. Might as well go now.

Aw. 40. We're getting rather old innit? I'd give an arm and a leg to be 18 again. sigh
Believe it or not Teddy I don’t feel old but I know I am. Lol. My mom tells me that I’m old. I told her well what does that make you mom? Then she replies with that’s what I’m saying. Lol. My mom has some good retorts.
Oh that’s something else I want to tell you guys. My mom said not to get too chummy with strangers over there because they can be weird and follow me. I told her mom I naturally repel people anyways. rolling on the floor laughing That is very true by the way. I have all my life. I’ve even had someone tell me that I’m unapproachable. So that shouldn’t be an issue.
Aww, Teddy. Thank you so much. blushing

Hi, great choice to visit the Grand Canyon.
Make sure you see the movie 3D, saves you hiring a helicopter as in the movie, you are getting
the ride for free in one.

I will, thanks Jenny! My mom has been there and said I should walk over the glass so I can see straight down into the canyon but I already bought a general admission ticket. Turns out there’s a lot to do there. I’d rather just go and find out what there is to do instead of look it up on the net. dunno
applause applause well done you i cannot give advice for your journey but pleeese let us know how you get on.

MMMM keep mobile on you all the time not in rucksack teddybear
Thank you for telling us about your trip Mermaid.
Perhaps you may find someone to go with you next time, your mom maybe?
I would not step on that glass plate for all the tea in China...............you did good girl.............teddybear
Haha. The glass plate is at Grand Canyon West. I was at the south entrance so I was safe.

I like traveling alone nowadays except that my boss wants to go to Disneyland with me. That should be interesting lol. He has an interesting personality. He’s high maintenance but not in the annoying sense. In the amusing sense.
