I’m now 3 hours behind – greetings from Flagstaff, Arizona, which is in the Pacific Time Zone. The big sign on I-40 off my exit says “Los Angeles” so yeah, I’m getting out there pretty far.

What a great part of the country this is – Arizona and New Mexico are two of my favorite states; plenty of gorgeous scenery and plenty of cool places to stop and stay … like Flagstaff, which is mega cool.

Flagstaff is the last big town before the Southern Rim entrance to the Grand Canyon, so this place is always hopping.

Will reach my final destination on Sunday – Las Vegas. There is a shot I’ll go west from there and maybe hit Los Angeles. Not sure yet. Vegas is as far as I wanted to go, so anything after that is gravy.

Other than forgetting my insulin needles in Amarillo (woops), I’m having a pretty good time. Nothing like jumping in a car and driving across the country – very soothing and relaxing. It’s always fun visiting different places and just seeing the country.

I would recommend this to anyone.

I will probably turn around and head back east by the middle of this coming week – gives me 1 ½ weeks to get back. Not sure about my route yet; leaning toward I-10, which goes back through Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.

I’ll keep you posted.
