Credit Card Abuse

As I said yesterday, last nights accommodation was a little different to where we usually stay.

When you are used to the door keys being credit card size, carrying this one around was a pain in the *ss, literally! But the room was fine, even though it did drop to 2C (36F) overnight.

One of the issues we had planning the last few days of the trip was a combination of distance between destinations and available hotels in, or near them. Today we finished up with very little travelling, but not really enough time left to go to Zion. So, we did some sight seeing and then some credit card abuse (aka shopping). For some items it is still cheaper to buy in the US rather than Canada despite the abysmal exchange rate of $1 Cdn = 73c US.

On the trip down to Cedar City UT we took a side road off to a National Monument, free with our National Parks card!! We climbed up to 10,575 feet, the highest so far on the trip. Again there were plenty of spectacular views.

Tomorrow marks the last day of  the trip and the start of the homeward journey. Depending on what state of mind I am in when we reach Colorado tomorrow night, after our visit to Zion National Park, there may or may not be a blog. I wont write any on the trip back as it will just be speed limit Interstate driving. I will write a conclusion when we get home next week where I will reveal our next TWO adventures!!
