Grand Canyon, Arizona, U.S.A.

Just a short drive up-state from Phoenix,

pretty cool place. (Bloody freezing actually!)

If you ever do get the chance to go, just turn up. In classic U.S. style, the accomodation is in 3 grades. I stayed in pauper class. It was one of the most exquisite hotels I have ever stayed in, and the food..., and the Navajo blankets for that matter.

It's a nice place to have a car, there's some great drives through the park, and you can bounce from bay to bay as if along a coastline. Don't forget (like I did!), to detour through Monument Valley (where they make the Marlboro ads!) on the way back to Phoenix. There's nothing like cruising at a steady 55 on U.S. highways with the radio on, I guess Black Velvet is still number one in the A.O.R. chart! Next time San Francisco...
