Hi Y'all,
I got mail today advertising some lovely cruises. I would love to book a cruise with my husband or go back to America with him like we did just before he got sick.
We had the honeymoon last year that we didn’t take when we were first married ten years ago. He got sick two weeks after we got back. It was a wonderful trip the best time either of us ever had. It was the first trip we had taken for just the two of us. Usually, our holidays were centred on the kids and visiting family.
One of the places we went to was Monument Valley, Utah. I am not kidding we both felt like we were spiritually different people after being there. It was truly amazing. We stayed at the hotel on the Navajo Reservation and our view from the balcony was the Mittens. It was a wonderful time. We also spent a week in Flagstaff, Arizona and saw the Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest, the Painted Desert and Sedona was gorgeous. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking.

The best of all was (this is sarcasm) Meteor Crater the world’s best preserved meteorite impact site near Winslow, Arizona! The Meteor Crater was hubby’s idea. It’s a big hole in the ground and it cost $15.00 each to see it. They even had guided tour walks along the edge of the crater. ‘Folks to the left we have one side of a tremendous hole in the ground and to the right is the other side of the tremendous hole in the ground…Thank you for visiting the Meteor Crater we hope you have enjoyed seeing the tremendous hole in the ground.’ (I am kidding they did not really say that) Hubby took pictures and they had a museum and you could actually touch a piece of the meteorite. It was great fun…if you have testicles. The last time I checked I was testicle free. It was a laugh though.

We also drove along Route 66 and saw lots of Harley’s and ‘The Road Kill Café – You Kill It We Grill It’ where ‘Thumper on the Bumper’ is on the menu at $3.95. Tasty bargain bunny if you ask me! (Kidding, I didn't eat Thumper). We saw lots of great old places and we met some really interesting folks along the way. That was really fun.

We ended up in Las Vegas for a week before returning. That was amazing too. Before we got married we joked about going to Vegas and getting married by an Elvis impersonator. The really do that there. I almost booked a renewal of vows when we were there but hubby talked me out of it. Now, I wish I had done it anyway. We also went to Death Valley, California and to an old ghost town. I always take a small rock or a bit of sand from places we go. There were signs everywhere ‘Beware of Rattlesnakes’ I let hubby go find the rock for me when we were there. LOL.
We made some lovely memories. I will treasure them. Oh, if we could turn back time. I would be so happy that I would gladly pitch a tent and stay in the damned Meteor Crater.
Hugs to you all,
Becky
