    Grand Canyon - any tips?

    Love the Grand Canyon! No way to escape tourist so just prepare for that. Stayed at the El Tovar in the park. For the skywalk, no personal cameras or phones allowed. And you wear their slip on booties. They will take your pic but best to know how you want to pose since it's a little rushed...

    Doll Hospital?

    I agree that this is a wonderful idea for your mom and wish you good luck! And I really hope I don't get the doll ads. I just found this on a search, not a recommendation. They are in Annapolis, MD. http://www.mylittledolls.com/

    Have you been to these Caribbean ports?

    I used San Juan as a departure port, flew in then spent a week touring so I had more options then a port call. I would highly recommend a kayak tour of one of the bio bays. I selected Laguna Grande in Fajardo, you need to go at night to appreciate the bioluminescent. This was my favorite...

    Grand Canyon trip planning

    I agree with what desertrat advised. And would include planning a visit to Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, where Pluto was first observed. I also did the drive to the West rim skywalk. Different view and nice except for the "cattle style" movement to keep the line going but it is expected...
