#Day 12 #San Francisco #Fisherman Wharf #Chinatown

14~5~29 # Day 12
Today was such a relaxing day! We woke up 8 a.m. and went out quite late, heading towards Fisherman's Wharf just to see the sea lion in Pier 28. We decided to go there by cable car because the street was too steep! And we were just too lazy.....A lot of stuffs selling along the street and seafood restaurant too!* muzzzz try the bread bowl of clam chowder ! ( the bread is made of sour dough) 

A lot of sea lions lying on the platform of the pier. Some having their sunbath session under the sun while the others climbing over one another.
We didn't spend much time there, haha, perhaps we were not fans of sea lion. 
Instead, we went for bread bowl of chowder and fried fish....* fattening but yummy*  We had it on the bench by the seaside. While eating, we enjoyed the music played.

Then, we walked to the Coit Tower. Little did we know that it was under renovation so we had another nap on the staircase nearby.
After half an hour, we woke up and continued our journey...

Well, the schedule today was quite loose. We spent the rest of the time window shopping in the China town. The stuffs here were so cheap that I don't know what to buy. But I did feel homy here, with familiar Chinese words everywhere.
We had  dim sum as our dinner. 5.99USD and you can eat anything you want! I used to eat lot of dim sum back in Malaysia and I miss that a lot!

Hehe, as always, feeling contented after meal. We went back hotel to check out and took our bath in public toilet again before headed to Los Angeles!
Super cold waiting outside the station for the bus, but I did realise one thing. Is was so easy for them to mix around with each other although they might be total strangers at first.... It is so different with Malaysia culture that we don't really talk to each other although we were waiting in queue for the bus. Instead of playing with electronic devices such as phone, tablet and stuffs, they took initiative to know each other. I think this is what we shall learn from them! =P
Another 7 hours night bus, I was totally into " sleeping mode" . The very first time,I did't feeling like using wifi although there was in the bus.....

#Day 11 # San Francisco

14〜5〜28 #Day11 San Francisco

We spent the whole night walking around all the casino in Las Vegas and I was so sleepy! In the air plane, I had no idea who was sitting beside me and I just lean on " whoever" shoulder sitting next to me...Even after I woke up, I have no idea that I did that until Cindy told me! * ashamed*

Wow! I bet so far I love San Francisco the most! It is located somewhere uphill so the air was so chilled! Windy....like Cameron Highland.

Since we were only allowed to check in at 3p.m. in the afternoon, so we took bath in the public toilet in the lobby instead...lol

Our planning today was to visit the Japantown, Haight-Ashbury, which is well known for its hippie girl( The way they dressed up was quite different( esxy and colourful) , and lastly the tour to Golden Bridge . We walked everywhere by feet.

The Japan town was small, there are East and West part, lots of shop around here such as Kinokuniya book store, Japanese restaurant everywhere but most of the shops here selling handmade and looked so cute.....Toronto, Pikacu, Doraemon, Domo,etc..... The stuffs selling here were quite cheap as well. Haha, Japanese Restaurant everywhere! I kind of miss sushi and raw seafood a lot! Hmm...plan to go for Jogoya again once I back to Malaysia.

Then, we walked all the way to the Golden Gate Park. The thing about San Franscisco is that there are slope everywhere and you hardly find any flat pathway but the layout of the building here was quite organized as in it is just like square. Still, I was wondering if I am going to live here, I must drive auto car then! 

After the hard climb, we reached Haight-Ashbury. It was about half an hour walk away. We saw how hippie girl dress up ( The way they Cindy defined as weird) But they were quite creative though. 
 
Then, we headed to Golden gate Park. We saw a lot of people lying on the lawn, sunbathing. Hehe, by then, we were too tired to walk so we found the spot under the shade of big tree and well, slept! And we really did that, lying on the grass and slept for almost half an hour, recharge our battery before we go on.....What a cosy nap...!

I bet both of us had no interest to walk around the park, haha, coz we skipped all the attraction such as Japanese Garden, Green Tea Garden, eell known science exhibition, as well as Tulip's garden....,

Then, to a point, we were so desperate to reach the Golden gate bridge and we decided to take bus. It took only minutes to reach there rather than half an hours that we were supposed to walk to. Still, I prefer walking!

Haha, I guess my pairs of legs are best gift ever from my mum, allow me to left my footprint all over the world. And the world is beautiful=) and it will be endless mission to explore the world.
Perhaps one day I will go for a small town that I love the most. I want to stay there and be one of the people there. to truly experience their culture, and experience different life. I love dessert but I am not sure whether I can survive over there or not! Haha....

Oh...finally we reached Golden Gate bridge, the symbolic of ypthe greatness of American Empire and resembles how much they are willing to open the door to others. It wasn't easy to find the best spot to take a photo. There is a place called battery avenue on the other side of the bridge but it will take 2hours to walk over there and there was no public transport to get there. So, we took almost 45 minutes to walk over the bridge, the wind was soooo chill * freezing cold*. We managed to reach there but it wasn't the best spot to capture the bridge during sunset.

Then, another 45 minutes to walk back. I felt like my legs wasn't mine. anymore! Haha..... 
On the way back, we stopped by Chinatown to have Good Food! 
We entered a restaurant visited by Lokman( if u watch on call 36 hours 2)!  
We were quite disappointed as the food wasn't as nice as we expected....And well, tips seemed to be a must rather than a choice. Because we found the service not so good, so we actually have no intention to give but when we were about to leave, the cashier reminded us again that tips was not included.*we paid reluctantly*

So, we ended our trip and we stayed in dorm instead of hotel this time....

#Day 9 # Grand Teton, Prismatic Hot Spring, Old faithful Grazier, Jackson Hole.

14~5~26 #Day 9
We still toured around Yellowstone today. Woke up early at 6a.m.( I slept so early the other night! Because I cannot access to wifi at all the other night) The ever first night I slept without waking up in the midnight. Well, we had buffet breakfast. I missed cereal so much! The thing was that the tour guide didn't tell us that there was compliment breakfast. 

As we were having our breakfast, the other family came by and asked whether it was free and they were so surprised that they were not informed. Then, when they asked the tour guide, he responded by saying that he already paid the other night so we were free to take it( Well, I doubt) Somehow, just feel like he was trying to cover the truth that he didn't inform us. Then, everyone started to take a lot and there were tourists not from our tour who complaint to the cashiers that out tour took too much of the food that they did not have enough and the tour guide started to call us not to take too much. I was surprised though, haha, I thought this is consumer's right?!

Back in the bus, the tour guide did apologized and said that most hotel didn't provide food to tour anymore because tour used to take too much of it but think back, he said we actually have the right so he apologized for his action just now.

We headed to 4 main attraction which is Prismatic Hot Spring, Old faithful Grazier, Grand Teton National Park and Jackson Hole.

We were quite disappointed as the Prismatic Hot Spring was not as nice and colourful as we expected because we didn't get a chance too look at it at higher places and this could only be done if we had a ride on helicopter.

The Old Faithful Grazier was the focus of the day. It was named faithful as everyday, the water will spurt out like volcano eruption at specific time and seldom missed it. So, we gathered there at the time instructed. Waiting for short time, wondering we should take photo of 

We stopped by the Grand Teton so called " Paramount" Wow! snow everywhere. Cindy and I was like small kids plying around with the snow, chasing each other. Hehe, I think lot more improvement to be done on my photography skill, such as learning to take full picture of the scenery( as I always cropped off some part of it I guess), and learn how to take photos from the best angle!( especially for portrait, so that people look thinner!) haha...

We took our group photos here...well, after weeks of time that we spent together, I kinda miss some of them, the driver himself was experience( as what Cindy said, he gave her the feeling of a father as he had lot of life experience and he used to be a cowboy), the old sweet couples who always followed us everywhere( I know I am going to miss them as well, they gave me the feeling that I am bringing my parents traveling around the world), and the. Filipino couple ( They were so sweet too... always stick to each other).

Throughout the day, we came out with bunch of lame jokes like " 玉王大帝" is my daddy and how MacDonald capital "M" appeared as "W" for wifi in our eyes! 

We stopped by Mac Donald to have our lunch....haha, but we were craving for wifi instead of food... so we ordered salad and used the wifi for an hour there.

Then, we proceeded to deer park. It wasn't that special, just the entrance with the arch made of deer hornbill....Again, we skipped our dinner, just to shop around, I bought a white jacket( It is time to change image, after become black woman for sooo longgggg...) 

I have the best night ever in the hotel! It was so called Magrita which is one of the high-class hotel. We had our own separate room with own bathroom and there were living room and kitchen as well.

Then, I took my own sweet bath, singing out loud in my room and enjoying the movie "分手合约" Not feeling sleepy at all, I didn't sleep for that night, tears rolled down like dam without barrier!
The next morning, I felt like my eyes was a bit swollen though.

I managed to rest for an hour before we departed.

#Day 8 # Mammoth Hot Spring

14~5~25  #Day 8

Still, I woke up at 4a.m. and couldn't sleep back!
Well, it took us 5 hours to reach the Yellowstone. Another movie which I don't know the name but the movie was about how a guy and his daughter save the president from the White House 
I had pecon chicken salad burger for my lunch! The fifth burger in 8days..... in Abey outlet! I was thinking we can make an album of all the burgers we had tried in US.

Remember I talked about the suggestion of the tour guide that all of us are going ro sing a song if we were late. Well, I remember the time wrongly and so together we sang 浪花一朵朵. 
Instead of letting me sing in solo, hehe, we bear the consequences together =P

So, here we go, 我要你陪着我,看着那海龟水中游,慢慢地爬在沙滩上,数着浪花一朵朵,你不要害怕,你不会寂寞,我会一直陪在你的左右,让你乐悠悠.....
Then, everyone clapped.Haha, not that bad actually, live concert for e everyone though, as long as everyone is happy!

After another 2hours we reached yellowstone. It is definitely a nice place and wildlife is everywhre( take note it is not something like a zoo) The wildlife were not chained up, so ww might be in danger if we did not keep 30m distance from those fierce one like bear! There was people who doed here before killing by bear As we all know, bear doesn't eat people but they played human like toys! 

So, before we went down, the tour guide teaches us the way to survive. Apparently, we were not advised to lie down as the bear will still tickle us to test if we were still alive!

So, our first stop is Mammoth Hot Spring, the ever changing natural phenomena. It was the remnant of the volcanic eruption. Cindy was quite disappointed, haha, as she had seen a better one in Turkey ( I haven't go thre yet) .I guess she is more anticipated for Prismatic Hot Spring......

We also went to Grand Canyon of Yellowstone (the impressive gap in Canyon of yellowstone River) and lower yellowstone River Fall which separate into upper and lower part. The lower part itself is twice as tall as Niagara Fall!( one of the must visit spot in New York!)

The mud volcano area itself was impressive enough. There are other geographical area such as Dragon Mouth Spring, Black Dragon Caldron and Mud Caldron =)

#Day 7 #Crazy Horse #Mountain Rushmore #Devil Mountain

14~5~24 # Day 7
5 o'clock at midnight, I woke up, caling Condy( phobia =P I thought we were late again!)haha, but it was just 5o'clock
And I couldn't sleep anymore
We gathered at bus stop at 6a.m. Today w sat in the middle of the bus, is kind of rotation thing, we won't sit at the same place everyday.
Cindy was kinda scared of the bus driver! (hehe, due to certain reason=P)
2and half hour seemed to be standard time for every stop. So, yeah! we were heading towards Crazy horse.
We had bread with grape jam as our breakfast..... After 5 hours, we reached! Well, on the way, we had another movie! Iron Man 1,2,  I bet I fall in love with Iron  Man eh! The only thing is that his ego was too high! And believe me, high ego killed people!

Crazy horse had nothing much to see. It was called so not because the horse was crazy or the one who ride the horse was crazy. It was simply the language used by the tribe to indicate the sacrifice of the one that fight for their tribe when American attacked them. In order to reduce the number of death, they gave up!

So, the crazy horse monument was built to commemorate this guy but it was half carved on the mountain. So, we could barely see the shape but the face of the warrior was almost done but the horse was half way carved.

I guess it was going to take quite a long time for the monument to be built because they were self- supported without assistance of government.
We watched the performance of the tribe, took some photos and went back to bus IMMEDIATELY(FYI, to promote punctuality, the tour guide just set a new rule, whoever late need to sing a song!) 

The next highlight was Mountain Rushmore with the sculpture of 4 American presidents ( frm left to right- Washington, Jefferson, Theodore, Lincoln). Theodore was a little darker compared to the others as it was the last one that they built. They took about 13years to built and and it involved about 400 workers.

Well, we watched another Iron Man 3. before we reached Devil Mountain. Originally, it was the volcano but now it was dead volcano. It was raining quite heavily when we reached there, hard to capture a nice photos though! But to look at it was really nice as the clouds were dark and covered most of the blue sky. Somehow, it gave eerie feeling to people. We went to the souvenir shop and saw a magnet written with words" The last one was delicious and who is the next!" It sounds like we were going to be the next meal!

We had our lunch with a pair of sweet couple. They kind of reminded me of my parents. The old man was just as stubborn as my dad! Haha, the woman kept asking him to eat something but the old man insisted the bun will just do fine as he could not accept food like this.....

At the next stop, we went to supermart to buy our dinner and breakfast. Together with the couple, we had instant noodles as our dinner. Well, although I don't really love to eat instant noodle but I don't mind to have it once a while. We added ham that we bought as well! Yummy....haha, sometimes, even the food might not as tasteful but well, you can use your imagination to assume someone sweet cook it for you and it might taste even better I guess....

After of dinner, we took 5min to reach our hotel...I slept so so so early tonight, guess what? the wifi was ao weak that I assume there is none!

#Day 6 # Arches National Park

14~5~23# Day 6
I can't believe it. Today trip was supposed to start at 6.15a.m. But both of us jumped up at very last minutes which was 6a.m. and get ourselves ready at 6.10a.m. We made it in time anyway =P
2 and a half hours trip to  Arches National Park....It took us about 45 minutes to go up.  
The tour guide kept remind us to be back in time as for last trip, there was an old lady who went to the other side of Delicate Arch and they spent 4 and a  half hours just to search for her.

The trail wasn't so hard to climb but still tiring....Somehow, it reminded us of the song " The Climb" It is always not about the destination but the path you took and the experience you get....

We saw lot of stones, one on the others in stack, I can't really remember the function of those. Perhaps it is use as signal of the path you took along the way so that you won't get lost when you walked back....

Our tour guide was waiting there when we were about to complete 50% of it.
* sweating* But glad that the weather was so nice! 

When we were at the top of it....we saw the well- known Delicate Arch faraway from a distance. It was so breathtaking! It was formed by 
soil, water and corrosion and the edges of one side was so thin that I wonder how it was supported.

The arch looked beautiful in the middle of desert, just like a circle of fire ring that waiting for tiger to jump across it in circus. We took a lot of photos with it...As always, we never mind to risk our life to go to the very edge of the cliff just to take a nice photo! I was thinking it would look even better at dawn, with sunrise =)

We walked back to our origin after 30 minutes staying over =) Nice view thouh, feel reluctant to leave =P

We were so hungry at that moment but we were informed that we are going to have our lunch after 2 and a half hours...Luckily we had our biscuits to fill our stomach temporary....Sad to announce, after long wait, I had my 4th burger on Day 6 but from different outlet, which is Starvin Arvin. Well, think in a bright way, good to try something new though.

The waiter was super nice to us, offer more lemons, free CINNAMON bread! (I love CINNAMON!), even talked to us a lot about the coming country music festival here, freedom to voice out their opinion to government and so.....
haha, so we decided to give him more TIPS.

Denver was so far away ! We were told that we were going to have another 5 hours journey to our hotel. So, we had another movie, Rush hour 3 before we bought our dinner and the breakfast for next morning in a supermart. 

We get to know a couple. They were following us all the way as they sadi they had hard time to understand the language. They even said that they prefered rice but apparently you can't find any here. Their interaction was so cute... As in when the guy decided to buy Maggi mee which need to be cook by using microwave, his wife insisted that he was too stubborn and asked him to put back. Instead of taking it as argument, I found their interaction so sweet and lovely....=)

On the way, we stopped by the Colorado River, taking photos and throwing pebbles across the river.Failed attempt to make the stone jump across it though =P

Our mood was so good that time, eating our Cinnamon bread and chit chating.... then another 2and a half hour back to Greenwood Hotel...I was on bus journey for 10 hours, perhaps more than that...watching Iron Man 1!
And yeah, finally we were there.........

#Day 5 #Bus Day.....

( photos will be uploaded in 3 months time=P)
14~5~22#Day 5
Not much for today actually. As we took the night bus the other night at 1.15a.m. We reached destination at about 6sth and we checked in to the Palace Station. I can't believe I didn't get to bath for one whole day yesterday, after getting sand all over the body due to the " sand bathing" in Antelope Canyon. 
Then, we tried to ask for better wifi, still it made no different, the connection was so weak. So, after taking my bath, I went down to lobby to have better connection. 
Hehe...we stayed in hotel until 12 instead of previous plan at 10a.m.( can see that we were so addicted to the wifi) 
We had another Chinese meal for our lunch! Yeah, 10.27USD for a big bowl of sweet and sour chicken rice with broccoli! I was so contented and grateful! 
We lazed around for some times and headed to stratosphere by bus. We were quite surprised to see a lot of Chinese gathered in the buffet area. Little did we realized that Chinese took up 99% of this tour =) 

Basically, today is a " Bus Day". We were in the bus for another 2 hours before we stopped by to have our dinner. We didn't go for the buffet as it cost 14 USD per person. Well, we planned to have hearty meal in Bellagio Hotel! much more recommeded! ( heheh we save money for the best!)

Instead, we walked our way to Mexicon restaurant and ordered Yolando Tamale! Much more cheaper, we shared a plate ad it was such a big bowl. Well, less than 5 USD for each of us...and we were super full!

While waiting for the rest, we talked about traveling principle instead and we came out with this. To make traveling as fun as possible, we worked out 4 principles that need to be abided, which is crazy, random, open, spontaneous....Hehe

Another 2hours journey to Comfort Inn......
That is the good point of following tour.....haha, you never have to walk for an hour just to find your hotel!=P

Day 4 Road trip in USA! Wow....

14~5~21
(photos will be uploaded in 3mths time,Teheee....)
I just can't sleep soundly the other night, instead of 6 oclock, I woke up at 4 and failed to sleep anymore.

We started our journey at 7a.m. and waited for the bus to the airport station to collect the car.Oh man, I can't believe she is going to drive today! Carzyyyy man....hehe, she is ao man???! Somehow, I feel like I a, going to marry her if she is a guy, only if you know her! She is such a crazy person and yet so responsible!

So, we took the bus and stood by the roadside( there are no public transport to the airport! I can't believe it! Flagstaff's public transport is just too bad!" We always face the problem of going somewhere!! So, we called a cab instead. Well, not bad! It arrived in 15 minutes as promise!

We went for budget company instead of Aloma National because we thought it was supposed to be cheaper but apparently, it is not, the sum is still 170USD including insurance and everything.Hehe, too bad I can't drive as I am underage.

We checked the condition of the car, the headlight, tyre pattern, brake and we realized the car tyre was under low pressure but the cashier gave  different reason and insisted the car was in good condition. So, Cindy drove the car but it moved so slow so we sent it to the tyre discount centre for check up but it will took up to 45 minutes and we are behind schedule.

So, we decided to do it on the way up Page instead. After we checked out, we started our 135 miles journey! Enjoying the scene! I love roadtrip! One of e best day I can ever have......

Well, GPS lead us to the wrong way though. Luckily we decided to follow the road sign.....It took us 2and a half hour to reach the destination. By the time we were there, it was just nice!1 p.m.Though we were supposed to gather at 12.30 p.m. but the trip started at 1p.m. We just made it in time! Hopped on the "bumping van". and we went to the place that we wanted to go SO MUCH to the extend that we did a lot of crazy stuffs.....even spent the whole yesterday just to find transport to get there! ( Hard life man!)

The tour guide is so experienced. He started working here since 1980 and he definitely can catch the best angle for the best photo as Antelope Canyon is one of the best place for people to practice their photography skill. I can't tell how amazing the Canyon is, but you have to experience it with your very own eyes! It formed many different shapes such as the bear climbing out of the hole from top and the light ray was shining into the Canyon, giving the sense of hope to the bear, and how the sand form the face of George Washington, the wonderful LOVE shape, the flying bird with widely extended wings, the burning fire( nah...here is the amazing thing about it, you have to use your camera to look through the beauty of it, somehow it formed different mixture of nice Colour due to the spectrum of light effect. And what form is just so wonderful!

I think I am falling in love with  Antelope Canyon. You can see how the soil form the wave pattern and nice curve on the wall due to the flow of flood yearsssss ago.

By the end of the trip, there was tribe performance, The tour guide blow something like a flute.... And after this, he rushed us back as the trip was supposed to end at 2.30 but due to load of visitors, we ended it at 4 hours. It is definitely a sad case as we didn't really get enough time to capture nice photo with it! To the very last minutes, we ran like there was fire in the Canyon, just to take a nice photo at the entrance before the other reached here!

Still, we felt so reluctant but we felt so happy that we made it in the end.
Then, we figured out the problem of tyre was not solved yet so we went to the nearest tyre station and we realized to car tyre was punctured actually! Luckily we found it out early and had the tyre changed but we were charged  without knowing whether we can get the money back or not....Nevermind, safety come first....

The road trip back was so much fun..Cindy busy driving and I on the other hand, had my own sweet moment I guess..Little did I knew that there was a window on the top of my head! I used to dream to stand up there to shout out loud and just let the strong wind hit my face! And I did it! Wow....Syokkkk =P I enjoyed the feeling! Felt so high...and after that selfie time I guess =P( That is what boring people do most of the time xDxD

Once we reached destination, we went to bus station to buy bus ticket back to Las Vegas.....It was 1.15p.m. late midnight! And we thought it was going to be 8.20p.m. We stayed in the Greyhound bus station after returning the car near downtown and well, haha, I had my third burger on the forth day! I guess I am going to get round like burger if the trend goes on.....

#Day3 #Flagstaff......I guess I just simply enjoy the feeling of travelling.....

14~5~20#Day 3# I guess I just simply enjoy the feeling of travelling

Slept for 3 hours yesterday! Just to catch a bus at 6.40a.m. this morning!
Everything goes on smoothly though, we managed to board the bus on time=)
Grabbed some tuna sandwiches as our breakfast before we boarded the bus....

It was a long journey, took about 5 and a half hours.
Once we get down of the bus, I feel like the wind was going to blow me up.It was so strong and unexpectedly cold! The sand was being blown up and hit on my face!!! *Ouchhhhh*

And the transport here was quite convenient as the route 66 is the main route. It is known as Will Rogers Highway and is the mother road of U.S., link from Chicago to California.

 We didn't take long to get to our hotel. 
Bad news come after that, I just received email from the tour guide that he miskey the date of the tour to Grand Antelope, it was supposed to be tha day after exact day!
* know what I feel like that very moment if you ever fall into the never ending pitfall*Oh man......!!! We had came all the way up here! We cannot go back just like that!
Worst come to worst, we dod crazy stuffs!!! as alwaysssss
" I think we have to drive....." Cindy said that over and over again
"U sure, your parents allowed you to do so?"
" Nope, I will convince them again later...."
"Hmm.....ok, let's do it"
So, that is our final conclusion 

Hehe, then we had our first Mandarin meal in Mandarin Garden! * had been craving for that* Though we planned to go for buffet. Little did we know that most of the buffet set session here ended at 2p.m. Still, we managed to order Chao Zhou fried Rice and Lo Mee.... it were such a big portion that we decided to carry away but seriously, damn nice!* I feel like I am back home again by eating Chinese food!*

The reataurant owner told us that there was a car rental shop nearby and we were soooo excited. So, we decided to get a car there and drove to downtown...I love this place so much..... it gave me a sense of feeling that I am a cowgirl...

That feeling didn't last longggg...

We went back to our hotel and called that number of car rental central line but we were informed that it was closed and they only sell car instead of renting!
* thunderstorm on my head*
Never give up spirit came in!
Never mind, Let's try the other company( though it could be quite far away!")
We tried to call hertz and we were so relieved whenvthey said thay have a car for us.
We took bus to the pick up point. It was about half an hour!
We tired to call again when we were there....
" What? you don't have nay more car available?I though u said you have it?"
Cindy was quite disappointed but what to do....
We were so helpless and we kept trying other company. Finally, we were told that National Alamo have more car for reservation but it was much more expensive.....
Then, we tried to do calculation and finally we realised the total expenses was just as in you booked a tour!
So, we decided to go back......
Cindy was so sick that time and she felt cold, I was so worried if she got fever, and I feel so sorry that I can't help much.
On the way, we did some reflection and heart to heart talk ( I guess that is what we always do xDxD) just to know well what each of us have in mind so that we don't hold grudge on each other? haha, of course we don't.
She is such a strong lady from apperance? haha, but deep inside she has strong need of protection. And definitely I am not the one who supposed to do that, there are someone else far away....lalalaa( She is going to eat me if she saw this!LOLOLO)

And for me, lazy people I guess, I simply just feel like I want to enjoy all those small little details of travelling , maybe it is all about who you are with and not about the destination and how much you see.....

So, we went to to hotel and sadly, no tour is available from Flagstaff anymore so we just had to stick to our original plan to pick up the car but not now..... we need REST so much.... maybe tomorrow morning. So, I called again and book a tour over there instead of from Flagstaff. 

Well, basically, we were running here and there for the whole day, but yeah, who knows all those little details are going to be the most precious memory in the future? As what Cindy said" I guess my grandchild are going to say this, WOW! My grandma is soooo crazy...." Yeah...perhaps

Back in hotel, we sat on the carpet after long whole day, looking at each other, we burst into laughter, so much obstacles for a day but yet we enjoyed it.... Know how we eat our dinner later without any spoons or forks? I guess you know......
