Travel, Adventure and Photography. Thursday, July 30, 2009. Last one month I was in an official trip which helped me to realize one of my dreams - The Grand Canyon! I visited Boston, Phoenix and Danbury as a part of this trip. But the Grand Canyon overrides all these places. We drove around 250 miles from Tempe (a suburb of Phoenix, AZ) on a Saturday morning and reached the place by 12.30 PM. Spent nearly 4 hours there and reached the hotel back by 10 PM same day. What a sight that was! Links to this post.
