It's for...an update

Hi!
Been very preoccupied these couple days.  Just found some great tickets to travel west.  Trying not to stress eat as I pound out my itinerary on the computer.  Hope to be able to log in while on the road.  Flying into Denver, driving to Mesa Verda, Four Corners, Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, Lost Wages then arrive in Newport Beach to be with family.  Any friends out there familiar with any of these places or have wise words for such a trip?  So psyched.
This has been a dream trip of mine.  Only in this stage in my life do I have the confidence to pull it off.  Best, N

You will be a lonnnnnnng way from home but the trip sounds wonderful.  My favorite place on earth is  Colorado.  Will you be traveling alone? 

Don't stress eat!!!  You want to wear those cute summer outfits on your vacation and look good.

Sounds like it will be lots of fun!!

My only advise - bring a GSP system with you.  Not having t look at the map, or driving in evening - when you are so tired, and having a little voice telling you where to turn  is priceless.
Borrow one if you do not have one., and try a few day before the trip. You do not need to be learing how to use it when you are on vacation.
