Arizona Bound

I leave for the Grand Canyon on Sunday Feb. 3rd at approx. 6:30AM From Pontiac aboard an Amtrack Train bound for Chicago, where I will spend 3 hours on layover before traveling on to Flagstaff. My train gets into Flagstaff at 9:50 PM. I will spend the night in Flagstaff at the Grand Canyon Hostel. I then go on by Bus to Grand Canyon National Park (approx. 80 Miles north of Flagstaff).

I will be taking along my new laptop thanks to a most generous gift by my Friends (Thank You all). So I will probably see about making an update from the rails.
