Getting in line at the Honda dealer for oil change, filters, rotating tires and general checkout. She is ready to roll. Heading for a “shake down cruise” this weekend to San Diego to visit Marisa and family. Less and a month away.
Picking out the top rated restaurant’s in the cities we are staying at on the The Net is sure a great thing to have when looking for good food in a strange city.
I have been working on one of the best part of traveling, planning for the trip. With the Web at your fingertips and your traveling experience, you can put together a really good trip at a cost that you can afford.
We are traveling this year to places that we have visited or at least driven through/flown into in our traveling career; Salt Lake/Park City, UT and New Orleans.
Salt Lake/Park City comes first. It is a highway 15 driving trip all the way via Las Vegas, with stops in St. George(restaurant), Cedar City(hotel), Beaver(world’s best local Gouda Cheese factory) and finally Provo, UT. as our home base. We have come to really enjoy Utah. Interestingly it reminds us of Germany. Mountains, pristine wilderness and farm country, excellent roads with speed limits of 85 MPH, friendly hard working people and great universities.
The hotel we’re staying is located just down the street from BYU on a creek that is roaring clear mountain water from snow pack, run by the college students, has a great breakfast included in a very reasonable cost.
We are going to spend some time in Park City, UT skiing the Black Diamond runs…LOL…not at our age. Instead, we are going to take horse drawn sleigh up into the high mountains and stay in a mountain lodge which serves a big “home made dinner” with entertainment.
Finally, testing some great rated restaurants, exploring the Temple Square area, and museums. I will be ranking our experience in restaurants and and visits on Trip Advisor. Should be fun.
Travel vicariously with us via this blog. We leave in about three weeks.
