SunValley, Idaho...Last week Bruce and I went up to Sun Valley for work. It was a long (5 hour) drive but I discovered I really like Idaho. We have been there a lot over the years and I guess I had never really thought about it. The difference was that I was comparing Wyoming to Idaho. Let's just say Idaho to me is better. The Sun Valley Resort is beautiful. The condo we stayed at had very comfortable beds and very nice furnishings. The huge bathroom with oversized tub wasn't bad either. For fun there is Ice Skating, bowling, swimming, skiing, etc.... It is a great place to stay.

Zions National Park/St. George

Zions is a great day trip. With many beautiful hikes that go from very easy to dangerous. I have been there several times and spring is my favorite. The weather is usually mild. The summer tends to get very hot.

If you like the heat go for it. I personally am a pansy when it comes to heat. The Virgin River was running high so kayakers were making the best of it. We have tried the pack horses and found that a great way to see the canyon, too.

St. George was fun. Our concert wasn't well attended maybe only 50 or 60 people but singing in the Tabernacle is the best experience. The acoustics are alive making it a joy to sing there.

Up coming trips

I am so excited. We have several more trips scheduled this year. The Indy 500 (!!!), Island Park, Idaho (Yellowstone), St. Loius, MS (YTB Convention), Hawaii.
Some of them are thanks to our new business. Others are just for fun but all of them we will be able to enjoy with the benifits of being travel agents. We want learn more about the places we visit and share with our friends and family the excitement and fun of each trip.
To round us out we both have been taking online courses in travel and have become certified in YTB (Your Travel Biz), Carnival, Disney and CLIA (a national cruising orginization).

Viva Las Vegas

Our trip to Las Vegas was fast and furious. We stayed at the beautiful Orleans Casino. Our room was a suite on the 19th floor.

We visited the Spring Reserve and Red Rock Canyon. Both were awesome. I had never been to either place. The weather was perfect for hiking. Our shoes were not. I was in sandals.

There is more to Vegas than casinos and gambling. Mama Mia for one! It was fun to leave the kids and husbands home for a night of music, dancing and laughter.

Seeing family makes any trip better.
