We left the Grand Canyon after two days and motored to Monument Valley, a 3 hour boring drive away! The View Hotel is inside the Navajo State Park, and is owned and run by the native Navajo American Indians. This was not covered by my Annual Parks pass, and cost $20 for entry. The hotel… Read More GUEST POST – MummyAirmiles visits Monument Valley
We left the hotel and headed north towards the Grand Canyon. We took a slight diversion to Walnut Creek which is a unique canyon where ancient tribes lived in rock caves and dwellings. We arrived in Tusayan, the Grand Canyon Village, which is really just a line of hotels and eating places a few miles… Read More GUEST POST – MummyAirmiles arrives at the Grand Canyon
We had a leisurely drive north from Phoenix to our next stop in Oak Creek, just south of Sedona. We decided on a relatively short drive, as we thought we would still be jet lagged; and we were! It also gave me the time to adjust to driving on the American roads. I booked The… Read More GUEST POST – MummyAirmiles gets a taste of American Geography

You would have to be hiding from the media for the last two days if you have failed to read about the issues that British Airways are having with their IT systems. This resulted in an almost total cancellation of the schedule on Saturday and chaos today. Unsurprisingly, given that this is the start of the… Read More MisterAirmiles: Live BA Disruption Update!

I decided to go and visit the museum, having driven… Read More The Imperial War Musem, Duxford – an AvGeek’s dream!
Later on this week I am returning to Las Vegas. I’m really excited about this, particularly as I have planned to go to the Grand Canyon which I didn’t do last time. I’m also hoping that being a returning visitor there, I will be able to experience a slightly different side of the city. I… Read More The Hilton Copenhagen Airport – or is it?!
