 ## 1000 miles in a day
 
 Leaving Dallas on Wednesday night at 10:30pm, we had fallen some 5 hours behind on our original schedule (thanks again, AA). We decided to clear the Dallas / Fort Worth area as much as we could and get us some shuteye ASAP. We ended up in Weatherford, TX, some 50 miles from DFW.

 ## The Canyon of all Canyons
 This morning we got up at around 8am, leisurely making our way to the Grand Canyon national park. It's about 80mi from Flagstaff, and we got there at around 10:30am. Our first stop was at the local airport, to book ourselves a helicopter flight over the canyons. There were two types, the "short" (25-30min) which went from the south rim to the north rim and back, and the "long" which circled around and tracked both rims for a few miles before changing course (45-50min). The longer one obviously was a bit more expensive, but we both nodded when the question came up: the long one! We're only here once and we may as well do it right.

 ## Hoover Dam
 
 We took 93 from west i40 after having a late breakfast in Flagstaff. Our trip purposely brought us to the Hoover Dam (which always makes me think fondly of the luitenant penguin from Madagascar, who yells "hoover damn!!" when things go wrong).

 ## Halfway there
 
 It's not trivial to determine you're halfway on your journey when you don't know exactly how far you're traveling. That's why we defined we would be halfway there when passing 96.207 degrees west (for the first time). This seemingly random value was found by taking the average of the longitudes of New York and Los Angeles (the two red markers on the map). The latitude is of no concern since our route isn't a straight line from NY to LA (we would probably need a few more BHP and 4WD for such a route).

 ## The horse in the hills
 
 After leaving the cramped plane and doing some exercises to get blood flowing again, we find ourselves in Rapid City Airport. A tiny place, compared to the ones we've seen on our trip so far (SFO (for Pim), JFK, DFW, DEN). It's about 5pm mountain time when we land, so we're worried car rental agencies may have already closed their offices for the day so we quickly head in their general direction. Thankfully, they're still open so we approach the first guy who looks like he's got nothing else to do. Sadly, no cars. Second company - same story. We start fearing for the worst: how are we going to get to Mt Rushmore without a car!?

 ## Knoxville? No, Nashville!!1
 
 Paul and I woke up this morning at around 8:30am after noticing yesterday that we crossed a timezone and are now at central time. We were in Gordonsville this morning, and took an easy drive down to Nashville TN. Chris D said we had to check it out, because Knoxville was boring.

 ## Did I hear you say Colorado?
 
 This morning we got up at 7:30am bright and early, to make sure that we were on time at the airport to get our 12:15 flight to Rapid City SD. Our travels to the airport were very light, we got there with minimal traffic, parked our trusty Jeep at the 'express south' parking spot, and made our way directly to the B10 gate where our flight was scheduled to take us to South Dakota. We got at the gate at around 8:20 - oops, a little bit earlier than expected, but hey fine, we can wait, it's a good change from all that driving we're doing.

 We also went to the rocket park, where a Saturn V rocket was on display, and several rocket engines. Those were kind of awesome :) so I am very happy that we decided to drive a few miles (70mi or so) more to take the scenic I-10. Yaay texas.

 ## Las Vegas and forgotten phones
 
 The last two days we've been living it up in Las Vegas. We got here yesterday and spend the day walking from one side of 'The Strip' to the other and back. That sort of took all day - there's so much to see, so many beautiful hotels, casino's, people, and general buzz. We had a good steak dinner at The Strip House (which, by the way, does not refer to strippers, but to its location on 'the strip'). We got out of the restaurant at 11pm and dove into the night life. What happened then is of course a big secret, because you know what they say: what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Well, at any rate, I went to bed at around 2am with a slight buzz :)

 We were a bit tired from the action last night, so we hung out a bit at our hotel, I smoked a great romeo e julieta cigar (which hit the spot, I was floating around when it was finished), and walked around the hotel/casino's in our direct neighborhood. A highlight was definitely the luxor hotel. It's a giant pyramid (believe me when I say giant). We then turned in relatively early (1am) and Paul is already snoring while I'm writing up our Las Vegas adventure.

 ## iFlew and sushi-a-plenty
 
 Right now I'm in the car doing 70 on the freeway (i-5) to Santa Cruz and I realised that I haven't given any update on what we did yesterday. Funny how things go .. I was just mentioning to Paul "well we didn't even do anything yesterday" and he goes "Dude!" and it hits me - the skydive. How could I forget? :-)

 This is the first post from a real diner(tm) in virginia! We had been getting our kicks, on route 66, and programmed in a little detour: skyland VA. This is in the middle of shenandoah woods - a neck of the woods which was warmly recommended to me by andrew k in california before we started.

 ## Far south, and the Blues
 
 This morning we got up all bright eyed and bushy tailed, ready to accept our adventurous destiny in Louisiana. We thought we should go see the Misisipi (sic) delta now that we were here so we punched it it just to find that it is a 90mi drive taking about 2 hours. A piece of cake for us!
