The Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon_what a sight Aerial view a delight Six passenger plane Over the canyon strains Into barf bag said Last Rites
Inspired by Carolyn Devonshire's contest about vacations Not an entry About twenty-five years ago, we went to the Grand Canyon and during the short stay decided to go on an airplane ride over the canyon to get a bird's eye view. I get motion sickness but it started off great. I go piece of cake, I can do this then we hit the turbulance over the canyon and I sat with a barf bag the whole trip..The airplane would shake, the engine sounded strained, and then it would drop and I would be in mid-air held by a seatbelt..My husband was going to film the whole trip for the future but when we hit the first pocket of turbulance he dropped the camera and filmed the underside of the pilots seat for 20 minutes..

Koolio Limerick Sara, and I have to admit you've written this about my No 1 place to go to on this planet. It's rich in the history of the Indigenous Tribes, love it. Sorry to read you weren't well, James......
