Canyon Sunset

  When visiting the the Grand Canyon you definitely want to view and photograph the beautiful sunsets at the canyon. If staying in town the best way is to take one of the park buses as they can drop you off at a number of good location. I would advise you check out the bus schedule as they are subject to change.

8 LESSONS I LEARNED TRAVELING SOLO AS AN OLDER WOMAN

Readers write us and say they would love to travel more but they are divorced or widowed. Most are women.      Stu is a fabulous travel partner, but I am here to tell you that I love, love, love traveling alone. It is true that I have been on my own quite awhile and traveled for work.  Over time, I got used to eating in restaurants by myself (I always took a book at first), and have experience hailing cabs and negotiating airports. But I am an introvert. I am also about to be 70.     I want to share what I’ve learned by traveling alone in hopes…
