Walk the Grand Canyon Sky Walk

Can you believe how you can walk right up to the edge of the Grand Canyon? No barriers, no signs? You are simply Right Smack Dab in the middle of nature. Totally Awesome! As the bus driver out to Guanano Point said “If your loved one is taking your picture and keeps saying back up a bit, DON’T! And…..... you might ask yourself if they took out extra life insurance on you before you left.” =)

You can’t take belongings out on to the skywalk and this photograph was the very last picture on my battery, and thus, sadly, my only one of the grand canyon. Giggle Must make another trip back!

There is a photographer on the skywalk itself. He’s cool. You can goof off and he’ll take loads of photos for you. (That’s because they would rather you buy the lot of them on a computer drive for $100 rather than just the one print that I did. What can I say? I’m poor now that gasoline has only come “down” to $3.69 a gallon for regular!) I think I’ll be able to smoosh that one into the computer and post it here. In that entry I’ll tell you how way cool this experience was and move this to the finished list.

The trip is going to be fun!

I intend to lay down on the sky walk as if I am suspended over the Grand Canyon. I have a fear of heights, so this is a challenge to myself. I also want to go early, when I hopw few people will be staring at me laying down when you are “susposed” to be standing up!

Planning Seriously underway. Lots of 43 Things will go in to this trip too! Yippee to that as I have lots of Things waiting to take their place on The List. I have found a travel partner for this trip. I think we can visit doc and brutus at the oasis sanctuary, go to the grand canyon sky walk, see cher in las vegas, visit the getty museum, find a cat sitter and maayyyyyyyyybe even one more thing on the list. How cool is this!?

Yep. I’ve taken a look at the website. I’m considering making the trip to doc and brutus and the sky walk all one trip. Considering doing this the week I have off this September. Which means I also have to get on the find a cat sitter thing too!
