SATURDAY 24th
Another early start (at the hotel buffet) to get ready to be picked up for our flight in to the Grand Canyon. The bus took us 25 minutes out to Boulder City where Papillon Tours are based. After a short briefing we took off toward the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead and the Canyon. It was a spectacularly scenic 25 minute flight that also took us past the Hualapai Skywalk – we actually flew below it. We stopped for about 30 minutes for a picnic at the bottom of the Canyon before heading back to Boulder. It was a great trip – Shari and the boys had front seats so they got a wonderful view and it was a gorgeous day.
When we got back to Vegas I had to dash away and pick up the RV. This took a wee while but was pretty easy. Shari and the boys visited the Shark Bay aquarium at Mandalay Bay Hotel and reckoned it was pretty good. We had dinner at the Luxor Hotel buffet which is right next door to Excalibur – Reid fell asleep at the dinner table.
It’s interesting that every hotel seems to be staffed by Mexicans. I guess it’s a similar situation to the eastern Europeans staffing the hotels in England? There were also heaps of Mexican tourists.
