THE LONG AWAITED ROAD TRIP!

As I was writing this blog the world’s short-lived celebration regarding the return to “normal” after almost a year and a half of mask mandates and social distancing came to an end in many states (Nevada mandated that masks are required for vaccinated or non-vaccinated people effective July 30, 2021) due to the significant increase of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations. Fiery and emotional arguments from both sides, pro-mask and anti-mask, are ongoing but I leave that for others to resolves.

My wife, Trinidad and her cousins planned this road trip in June this year as the COVID restrictions eased off. We were all excited to be able to visit all the places that have been languishing in our bucket lists! Our group consists of ten people – eight of them coming from Southern California. They rented a 15-seater van and will pick us up in Las Vegas today, July 30th. From here, we will proceed to Zion National Park, our first stop. The other places in our itinerary are: Bryce Canyon National Park, Salt Lake City, Yellowstone National Park (and maybe Teton), Mount Rushmore, Denver, CO, Moab/Arches National Park, Sedona, AZ then finally back to Las Vegas where we will be dropped off and the rest of our group can enjoy all the amenities that Sin City has to offer.

I will try to post updates including photos tonight if I get a strong WIFI signal in our hotel.

LET’S ROCK AND ROLL!!!!
