| Okay folks, I need a little help here. Without going into detail, I'm taking a long weekend trip this weekend...something I haven't done in a very very long time. I haven't flown since '87 and as the time draws near I'm having a really difficult time wrapping my mind around the idea of plane travel and am getting more and more nervous as the day draws near (Friday). I've always considered myself to be a strong willed person, but this is really affecting me...no appetite, naseau, unfocused at work, etc...is there anyone that can help me out with this??? Please...??? |

Yup. I saw it on National Geographic. One of those shows that explains amazing structures and how they were built.
Basicaly, they put it on top of a cliff where the slope is very steep. Now, I dont know if the entire platform is glass, but some of it certainly is...
I would go on it... IDK exactly how high it is, but if I made it through the Alps on my way to Germany... Well, if nothing else, I have at least some experience... Lol...

Yup, a steam train sounds nice, tho what I would probably consider is that platform thingy I saw on TV. Aparently, they built a glass platform over the edge of the cliff, so you can walk over the edge of it, and see straight down into the abyss... Must remember to pack some dipers, if I ever go there.

I've been to the Grand Canyon about seven years ago. I posted pics of it in this thread a while back. My family and I went there during the summer, so it was very hot. We stayed in a small village nearby and got to the canyon itself by train (an old steam train, that is). If you love breathtaking desert scenery, then that's the place to go. One might even say that it looks like something out of one of those classic cowboy movies.  The "hole in the ground", as many like to call it, extends for miles and you can see alot of rock layers! There are tours where you could go all the way to the bottom of the canyon, although I heard that they are pretty expensive. You can also go river rafting in the Colorado River, which is at the bottom of the canyon. We simply walked along the ledge of the canyon, taking in the scenery.
Glad you're considering it, though. It's a great place to do some sight-seeing! I'm hoping to go back someday.

That's Kewl! I imagine the stairs would be a much longer trip to the area. If I paid for the cable car, I would have done the same thing you did.
There's a place in Charlotte that's a Microbrew, love to go to it every now and again. It's Got the Huge Barrels right there in the area you dine in! It's probably falling out of favor now, because it was a "trendy" spot, but very unique place.

There is absolutely nothing like a ball park hot dog, and I don't typically eat hot dogs...but take me to a ball game???

| It is remarkably soothing, isn't it? We sat out on the balcony and watched the sailboats while eating pizza on Saturday after the ballgame! It was really nice. The fireworks were awesome but, sadly, the camera we had was really not good for night pics and so none of them came out and I had to scrap them. |

| GREAT bird stories!!! Actually, last night was kind of funny. Seems ol' Fred (or one of his cousins) was feeling a bit "peckish" and was eyeing a half- empty table on the patio near where we were eating. He was very methodical...kept his distance. Kept his eye on the "prize". Got chased a couple times by the waiter but...inched slowly closer. Finally he made his move...jumped up on the table, nabbed a piece of bread and shot away!! Was quite entertaining to watch!!! HAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Seagulls have to be the silliest birds around I reckon, lol. Always ready to steal food and what not.
