Well our RV road trip has ground to a halt as we've woken up in a bit of a pickle. We just can't get the electrics to work! We can't pull in the slides, lift the legs or drive off; we need to call Roadside Assistance. When we finally get the RV fixed, we are able to leave the Cracker Barrel and turn the day in to an adventure of a lifetime with an awe inspiring helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon.
We flew with Maverick Helicopters www.maverickhelicopter.com/
Our family have been roaming around the UK, Europe and US since 2007. We set off on each trip with only a rough destination in mind, allowing the roads we take and places we stop to evolve as we meet new friends along the way.

I did the helicopter flight in 1985 and I've NEVER forgotten the experience! It was EPIC! They played the music from 'chariots of fire' in the headsets and I'll never forget that music as we flew over the edge! Wowow!! I hope you all remember your trip in 40 years time too. 🤣😂

Helicopter sure has to be ticked. We did similar over 20 years ago and landed next to the Colorado river for champagne breakfast and then flew over the Vegas strip. Memory of a lifetime. Amazing trip

Lovely to see your Grand Canyon trip, we drove down Highway 1 from San Francisco to Santa Barbara, amazing scenery & then to Las Vegas where we did the helicopter trip going over Hoover Dam & landing beside the Colorada for a glass of champagne. Then drove to San Diego for a few days & onto Los Angeles. Like you, love the States,(not New York) been a few times & done various train journeys.......its given me the bug to go again soooooooon !!

Surshark is definitely a plus. I checked airfare from London to New York and on the major airlines it was thousands for two people. I checked the prices on Norse airlines also. To give you an example: On Norse the fare for two people was $374 in economy London to NY and $810 in premium class. Then with Surfshark i switched my location to London and those same tickets were; $275 economy and $474 in premium. So apparently they charge different prices according to where you live. So, remember that the next time you fly.

Every RV is different when it comes to the oddly placed switches. And quite often they do not have labels or standard icons on them. In my previous van it took me a while to notice that one unmarked button was for a gray water tank heater 🤷♂️

no reason for dead batteries at all when you have a generator to run guess they arent used to running them here in the states I run mine all the time to keep the batteries topped off especially at night before the furnace is run and the generator charges faster then the engine does....someone screwed up the switch it happens when all the people there

I would say when it comes to Motor Homes bigger is not always better especially those in the U.S. some of them are pretty crude, however everyone to their own. Be careful of holiday sight seeing flights, their safety record world wide is abysmal, make sure you know what you are getting in to. Keep safe

Maybe for you, but we don’t enjoy spending money on campsites when we are arriving late in the evening and leaving early in the morning. To us, that seems like a waste of money when all we want is a safe parking space which we can have for free. We stay at RV parks when we want to use the facilities and their location suits us.
