While we didn’t incur the extra cost of flying into Twin Falls, Idaho, this time and instead had direct flights to and from Salt Lake City, Utah, and Phoenix, Arizona, I think it would have been better to simply drive. The 11 hours between the two cities by car is a long haul, but it’s also a beautiful stretch of the country down there, or so it looks like from the sky.

The mighty Grand Canyon National Park, where we spent our honeymoon back in 1994 just six years ago. Someday, we hope to be able to visit the river that cuts right through it. We’ll be home well before 9:00 a.m., and I wish that we’d caught the latest flight out of Salt Lake so we could have spent one more night in Yellowstone. We’ll figure out this traveling thing sooner or later.
