OK, so we didn’t drop off the face of the earth – just off the Net. So now that I have the chance (on glorious dial-up) I thought I’d put in a quick post to update everyone on our trip. Sorry, no pics on this one but I’m going to edit everything hopefully tomorrow night and fill in the last 3 days.
We are now in Yosemite, after travelling from Grand Canyon to Vegas for 2 days. Vegas was Vegas, and apparently everything stays in Vegas, so sorry can’t fill you in ;). Actually we put in a pretty full day of casino hopping, checking out a lot of the new ones that we hadn’t yet seen (it’s been 10 years since we’ve been). Tough to do when it’s 110+ F. on the strip. Insane, but you sure welcome the A/C in the casinos. Took the elevator up the Eiffel Tower at Paris in the evening and got some pictures of the strip, that was a highlight.
After about 2 days in Vegas we hit the road for Mariposa, which is just outside of Yosemite. Another long day of driving, about 460 miles or 8 hours by the end of it. Turns out the B&B that we are staying at is quite a bit off the main road (12 miles) and quite a bit outside of Yosemite National Park (at least an hour’s drive). We’ll know to book way earlier next time ;).
We were up at 4:30 this morning to hit Yosemite and El Capitan for the sunrise. That’s early. Sick early, but who’s counting. Well worth it, though – can’t wait to post the pics.
Anyway that’s about it. Consider this a temporary posting, real ones to follow tomorrow night sometime….

Glad to hear you didn’t fall in a canyon or other big crack!
Bet you will love driving even more after this trip!
