Touring De Wilde West With Erik De Wilde
Erik and Fabienne arrived from Belgium on the 12th coming into LAX.
Somebody mis-read the arrival information and arrived at the airport for the early flight and had to wait three hours extra for their flight!
LAX was like a zoo, there were crowds of people from the Orient milling round and pushing their way to the front GRRRRR!
However once the guests arrived at Hotel Amer-Cain, they felt much more relaxed.
I think that they had some idea what to expect.
Relaxed can be taken to excess.
Pretty soon it was time to head off on the road trip.
We did about 1050 miles visiting Las Vegas, Williams, The Grand Canyon and Laughlin.
Of course you could be forgiven for thinking that we had included a trip to France in the mix.
In Las Vegas we met up with our nephew Steven and his wife Angela.
We then headed out to Williams AZ.
On the way,we stopped to see the Hoover Dam from the bridge.
These are golf carts operated by an outfit called Trips for Tips, worth remembering if you are ever in Williams.
Of course, we were headed for the Canyon Club, our kind of place.
(Right Tess?)
Next morning we said goodbye to Barb and Leon and took off to visit the Grand Canyon.
Pictures don't really tell the story very well, but here are some to give you and idea of the grandeur of the vistas.
It has been quite some time since my last visit and a lot of improvements to visitor services have been carried out by the Parks Service.
Once our visit to the Canyon was complete, we left to continue our journey to Laughlin.
If you don't drink or gamble then Laughlin is a bit of a non-event.
So it works for me on both counts.
The dice gods were not on my side for this visit!

It was a bit tough on Anne, we got out onto the bridge and she felt a bit wobbly.
A result of the effects of the Meniere's Syndrome.
Once in Williams and checking into the hotel, there was a Surprise from Surprise in store.
Barb and Leon had driven up to spend the night in the same hotel.
After checking in, we took the limousine service downtown.
Of course, we were headed for the Canyon Club, our kind of place.
