Arrow Join me on my trip - VII - Its now bye bye Grand canyon

Now we are back at the base camp we are ready to wind up,
since we have some more time before the bus heads off
you can go on a helicopter ride to get an aerial view of the
canyon or for those who are not fainthearted there is skydiving.
For those who would just want to relax and cool off in the shade
you can just shop for souvenirs.


The Helicopter ride costs $180, which was indeed more than the base fare of my return ticket to Canada :-D


The planes are ready to take you high and throw you out of it in mid way.. what a craziness :P


Something for the memories


And now sadly its time to say good bye to Grand Canyon



But there is nothing to be too sad about, we are heading to Las Vegas again.
Oh boy! so many things we already did in less than 24 hours.. We still have 3 more days to go :-D


Here are older threads in the series

My sort of holiday AC. Action packed all the way. I'll just slip to the bank for some cash if we are heading back to Vegas. PAUL
