The 2018 road trip

I travel to the other side of the planet by alone for a vacation and I am wondering if I get the car I rented. The whole point of the vacation is to go to the USA and drive a proper American car, but so far it doesn't look good.
Since I planned the vacation half a year ago, I have been keeping an eye out for the rentals, booking etc and had to call a few times because my booking seemed to vanish.

Today I take the Corvette for a spin to enjoy the weather and to record a few videos. Still a bit jet lagged though.
Revisiting Valley of Fire, taking the long route back to Las Vegas via Lake Mead. Late lunch at rollin' smoke BBQ. Failing to buy gadgets at Best Buy.
So all in all, just relaxing.

On this second day of my vacation I managed to get into a relaxed mood and even winning some money. It's a good start on the vacation.
I go cruising in the early morning since I can't sleep anyway so I record a video for my playlist on America's Scenic Byways.
I visit the gym and I give you a tour of the room here at Encore.

Leaving Las Vegas with a short stop at Hoover dam for old times sake and to record some video. For some reason most of what I recorded at Hoover Dam got corrupted on the SD card.
After that I drive to Kingman, get a burger at 5 guys, first time I try that place.
Then I gi driving down Joshua Forest Scenic Road, another scenic byway that I wanted to drive on and record for my playlist about Amirica's Scenic Byway and staying at Rancho de los Caballeros, because it looked cool in the brochure, even though it might be a bit of a deviation for places I would choose to stay, I end up liking it very much.

Day 4 of my vacations begins a 4:30AM where I got woken up by coyotes and then decided to go back to sleep. I then drove to southern Arizona, almost to the border to Mexico to stay for two days in Green Valley. Once there, I realise that I should have stayed in Madera Canyon. :)

Today the weather forecast promises sun with a slight chance of Mutually Assured Destruction and nuclear fallout. Again I go cruising down a Scenic Byway, the Patagonia-Sonoita Scenic Road, and afterward I visit the Titan II Missile Museum.

Today I am leaving Green Valley, South of Tucson, driving to Sedona where I started raining and after arriving in Village of Oak Creek, I spent the rest of the day just dilly dallying, but still it was the best day yet and I don't think I have ever been happier just driving down a road. The kind of day you don't want to end. I filled up the fridge, got a pizza at Pisa Lisa, a cappuccino at Bike & Bean and that’s about it for this day.

On this day 7 of my vacation, I woke up and felt less than fantastic. But the rain stopped as promised and went out to enjoy the day, with a bit of wine tasting and mountain biking and just mucking about. I have never seen so much rain in Sedona.

I have been looking forward to show you the mountain bike trails around Sedona
Today I am going mountain biking between Sedona and Village of Oak Creek. I am mostly going on easy and intermediate trails. Going on Bell Rock Trail, Easy Breezy and then Templeton all the way down to Oak Creek and then back again to Village of Oak Creek.

I go cruising down Page Springs Road, looking for somewhere to do some wine tasting and get a bit of lunch and I end up at an old favourite, Javalina Leap. A cup of coffee at Bike & Bean and a small gift to Tony. And I also try to get some epic video shots but kinda fail because the weather isn't all that good. So a bit more cruising and of course the day ends with yet another steak.

I "accidentally" used $700 on wine one fine afternoon after a wine flight at Page Springs Cellars. But first I went out to take a bit more car footage and I visited Montezuma Castle National Monument and I visit a McDonalds with a peculiar version of the golden arches. And, of course, a bit more mountain biking
