5-4-2021 Time to Head Back South

 Left the Campground in Kanab, Utah heading for our next stop in Williams, Arizona just South of the Grand Canyon.  On the route there we made a stop near the start of the Canyon, at Horseshoe Bend.  This is a bend in the Colorado River which is literally in the shape of a horseshoe.

2023 Hawaii Trip

Image
  17 Sept 2023 headed for Hawaii to visit our Grandson Joseph, who just reenlisted in the Navy. He has been there three years and has seen very little of the island.  At the airport at 5;00 am , flew from Knoxville to Atlanta for a nine hour non-stop flight from Atlanta to Honolulu.  Fortunately we got First Class tickets so flying in comfort. As soon as we were on board they delivered Mimosas   Real Food in First Class When we arrived at the rental car agency, they told us that the Toyota Rav 4 we reserved was not available so they gave us a free upgrade a BMW X3, not bad for an upgrade. Finally got to Joseph at his apartment.  Tomorrow will start the adventures. Hawaii Trip Day 1

Morocco 2023-2024 Day 1 (12/19/23) Casablanca

Image
We arrived in Casablanca, after heading through customs etc. Zak was there to meet us along with his mother (a nice surprise).  Sami and his Grandmother headed back to Essaouira where she lives and the four of us (Zak, Sarah, Cecile and I) headed off to start exploring Casablanca. First Stop was to Check in at the Hyatt Regancy.   Cecile and Sarah thought we should take this car, a Maybach, but I think it would be alittle out of our price range. Shops along the Main thoroughfare below our room. Looking out over the city from our hotel room The Harbor The Hassan II Mosque from our Hotel Room. The Largest Mosque in Africa with a Minorette standing 210 Meters (682.5 Feet) tall. The Bears were happy to take a break from travelling. We had a late lunch Early Dinner at the Dar El Kaiu Restaurant. tucked away in the shopping medina, but like you were stepping into another world.  The architecture was incredible.  This was a Jewish Synagogue in the 1800's, what an incredible building.

Autumn Colors in the Smokies

Image
 Time for the color change in the Smokies, we took a morning drive through the Cade's Cove Scenic Loop in the Smoky Mountains National Park only about an hour and a half from the house. Saw four bears but with all the people trying to take pictures, we passed without getting any pictures.  We were however able to capture some of the beautiful colors.
