Hi Gorgeous Bloggers!
Well now what you are about to see was clearly one of my favorite part of the trip - the other one were the shows we attended -
The mountains in the desert were what caught my eye the first morning as i was looking through our hotel room on the 31th floor -
We took a heli tour to see the Grand Canyon
Here i am at 5 h 55! Ready to go!
On board the heli
I am not adventurous at all and more so as i am getting older- How can i put it so i do not sound boring - I take calculated risk !
I realized though that it was pretty safe !
But flying over the Grand Canyon makes you realize that you are very small indeed!
At one point i was a bit panicish! Flying over - No sign of life - Arid paradise - All that splendor - Wow !
I am smiling there alright! I guess i got over it! Mr D taking pics of me with my I-Pod and camera
Flying over - taken with my I-Pod
Isn't this unbelievable! Vegas was 45 minutes away by heli
Looks like you are on the moon! - I never saw anything like this and I travelled a bit and saw awesome things!
I kept thinking about the pioneers who tried to cross over Nevada to get to California
I kept thinking of the harsh conditions they went through
The ones who died-
The ones who made it
I was in the front of the heli coming back
We landed in the Grand Canyon!
We had a little snack while down there or up there!
I will always remember this - Once in a life time experience- Beats the strip anytime!
On an another subject - i need your advice cat lovers - My oldest ChouChou has got thinner all of sudden- He eats well - he is active enough for a 12 years old cat - but still not normal to loose so much weight within a couple a months - My mom had a cat who lost a lot of weight while still eating pretty well, his problem was its thyroid, i wonder if it is the same for ChouChou - Well, the only way to find out it to see a vet, that i will do soon! But i wonder if you encountered the same problem with your beloved cats -
***********
Hope you enjoyed this post
I will be back soon

I love your pictures and applaud your courage to go up in the helicopter. I went to the Grand Canyon as a kid and would love to go back as an adult...I think I would appreciate it more! I agree...this is better than the strip!
Well, if you didn't get married in Vegas, a helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon is the next best thing! It looks incredible, I would so love to do this. Amazing photos.
I would get Chouchou checked for an overactive thyroid. One of my cats lost lots of weight at one point and cleaned herself obsessively. She is fine now, I think she was just unhappy and stressed because we had got a kitten, and she is a very sensitive soul. But if nothing obvious has changed in your home, and given that your cat is older, I think it requires a trip to the vet. Hope ChouChou is OK, I know how we pet owners fret about our "babies"! xxxx
Fabulous photos! I love the one of you getting off the helicopter with your hands in the air!
Your sweet kitty might have thyroid issues. My Nola had those symptoms at about age 10, and was treated with radiation, and lived for 6 more happy years. But of course, the vet will know more after a check-up.
Oh, wow, beautiful pictures, looks like you had a great time :)
Oh, thank you for sharing your helicopter ride and GC photos! Lovely! If I were to ever go back to LV, I'm definitely doing that!

When I was in Vegas we didn't have time to see the Grand Canyon, which was the only disappointment of the trip. It looks just amazing!
How freakin' fabulous!!!
I've never been in a helicopter before,you're so brave!!!Nevada IS like another planet!Can't wait to see more pix!
XXXXXXXX
PS-can't help re Chou Chou,sorry!
You are so lucky to have had this adventure!! I was only able to see it from an airplane but it was enough to get me all excited! Thanks for sharing.....
Such amazing scenery, you're so lucky to have seen it all. Re your pusscat, I would have said its the thyroid thing as my old cat was the same. Poor little bugger!
Amazing photos..looks like you had a fun time. I've always wanted to go in a helicopter, will have to do that sometime!! :)) I don't know anything about cats, but I hope yours is ok :) x
chulísimas las fotos. Disfruta del viaje!!
besos
It looks wonderful! Vegas has never appealed but I'd totally love to do a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon, your photos are stunning! Love that silly looking cacti, too!
No advice over your cat, get her to the vets to get checked out. I hate it when mine are ill. xxxx
So cool mom, so amazing!
This looks like the most amazing trip...I would love to fly over in a heli! Glad you got to see these beautiful sights :)

Wow Gorgeous pictures ...I Love the Grand Canyon and I often wonder the same thing how did the pioneers do it??? Looks like you had a great trip. I wish I could answer your questions about your kitty you probably should bring him in and get some lab work done to be sure. ~Great pictures loved looking at them all ~Love Heather
Woohoo, amazing pics - looks like you had a fabulous time! I always say that Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon are places a person MUST visit before he/she dies.
P.S. Re: your cat. Is Chouchou drinking a lot of water? My now 16-year old kitty (who joined me in France this morning!) was losing a lot of weight and drinking voraciously - turns out, she was diagnosed diabetic. It's common with cats as they age; I now give her insulin via a needle twice a day, along with special food. My other cat, around the same age, also developed diabetes and he gets a lesser dosage, also twice a day. A blood sugar test will determine if your little guy is diabetic. Let us know how it turns out. - Kelly xo
wow it seems you have the time of your life there! that pictures are great im so jelous;)

I feel like I am right there with you! Is that champagne we're having with lunch? Cheers!

Grand Canyon it certainly on my to do before too late list - it has to be one of the most beautiful places on earth! I don't think I'll do it in a helicopter - those things cannot be trusted (my stomach tells me!). It looks like a glass of champagne with the snacks?
Sigh--I've never been to the Grand Canyon and you are so lucky to fly right to the bottom! You make me want to go.
Wow - these pics are FANTASTIC!!! I would LOVE to do this - and I adore your gorgeous embroidered top (and is that a rainbow manicure?). Thanks for these - I am really inspired by your beautiful pics, Arianne. Sarah xxx
I've never been to the Grand Canyon. Your pictures are so beautiful and I can feel your exhilaration. A wonderful experience!!
What? You're over in my side of the continent!
Glad you enjoyed the experience. It's something that I've never done as an AZ native. But I'm off to check out more of your Vegas posts. I'll be visiting there myself.
Wow! I can't wait to see your paintings now, after that incredible trip to the Grand Canyon. Thanks for these photos! I love the one of you celebrating outside the helicopter and the one of you looking so small in the background.
I'm glad you had a fun trip and that you're back safely. Your hotel looked dreamy. What a surreal world Vegas seems to me.
I hope ChouChou is fine and that the vet can take care of this problem. Keep us posted.
Interesting proposals and handling of colors and textures.
What a fabulous trip! I bet the view was something forever burned in your min, just gorgeous! I loved flying into a volcano in Hawaii in a helicopter, best views ever!!
i lovee your picts so much !!!
cool and so much fun =D
