It's a family tradition to spend Christmas in Arizona and then drive to the Grand Canyon and hike, I'm not sure what this means for my family but I like it. This year we are renting a big house cause we invited some friends. Will see if <a href="http://www.arizonalodgingexperts.com" rel="nofollow">vactation rental homes arizona</a> are fun..

I never take a cross town but because it's faster to walk. In fact, I walk 3 miles every day, even when the temperatures really drop. Yes, it seems that Mr. McEwan and I may be kindred spirits. I'm not much for road transportation. Instead I prefer walking, bicycling or cross country skiing.J The Travel Authorityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076016602032686974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457994579257950337.post-83834385240229385432010-01-14T14:20:06.947-05:002010-01-14T14:20:06.947-05:00Hi Melanie, I spent a month in Croatia and took bu...Hi Melanie, I spent a month in Croatia and took buses everywhere and then biked or hiked or walked.

I try to always include walking/hiking during my travels. Even cruise ships offer hiking excursions. One of my favorites was a hike in Siberia near smoking volcanoes.
