Entry for June 23, 2007Trip on the Train
TheVerde Canyon Railroad is a great trip through the Verde River Canyon, which is a beautiful area in my neighborhood. Depending on the time of the year you can see colorful cactus flowers blooming, beautiful color greens on various types of trees, lots of wild life, blue heron, havalina, coyote and most important the bald eagles that live and nest there. During the winter when the eagles are nesting with their babes the canyon is off limits to all except the train. The eagles are actually use to the train and it doesn't bother them at all.
The geology through the canyon is really remarkable, you can see the faults where the canyon tipped to let water in when the whole area was a giant lake, we are talking millions of years ago. This area was also volcanic at one point so there is a great deal of rock that just popped up out of the ground. If you check the web site you will find a great deal of information. Maybe if you some day visit the Verde Valley you too will ride the Verde Canyon Railroad. I like the trip so much this one with Hans was my seventh time.
So there we are on the outdoor car, where you are if you want to see anything at all. It was a beautiful day, no clouds, which is what it is like around here most of the time till monsoon season sets in. Soon I hope, it was hot but with the wonderful breeze from the train you don't notice it.
We really didn't do much else while he was here except hang out at our friend Megan's house, she is the one with the pool. Hans, Rick, Megan and I are all old friends from New York. A good time was had by all.
Later, Susan

Entry for June 21, 2007/ Beginning of the vacation.
Hans started his trip to my house on Wednesday June 13th. He was suppose to arrive on Thrusday the 14th at 6 PM. He was going to stay over night in NYC. He didn't get here till Friday the 15th at 6 PM, this is why....
Sewage flows down aisles of trans-Atlantic flight
10:55 PM PDT on Tuesday, June 19, 2007
By RAY LANE / KING 5 News
UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash.– Passengers on a Continental Airlines flight had to hold their noses for hours as sewage overflowed from toilets while they were high over the Atlantic.
"To be blatantly honest, I was more nervous than I had ever been on a flight," said Collin Brock. The University Place man was on board Continental Airlines flight 1970 from Amsterdam to Newark, New Jersey last week when things went bad.
"I've never felt so offended in all my life. I felt like i had been physically abused and neglected. I was forced to sit next to human excrement for seven hours," said Brock.
That's after lavatories - in the middle of a flight filled with passengers - started spewing sewage.
"Sickening. It's a nauseating smell. It's very uncomfortable," said Brock.
It was last Wednesday afternoon when his flight left Amsterdam, but roughly two hours into it, the passengers were told the lavatories were out of commission. An unplanned landing in Shannon, Ireland was made to fix the problem.
A pit stop became an overnight stay. The next day, the same plane headed for its original destination of Newark, New Jersey, but just after takeoff, the sewage overflow began. This time, there was no turning around.
"I don't know how you can say a plane needs to be grounded one day for a problem that's not as major as a problem the next day, and it doesn't qualify for being grounded," said Brock.
He says was there was one half-working restroom on the plane for the more than 200 people onboard.
He also says the flight attendants - who were serving meal service in a stinky, unappetizing cabin - told everyone to not eat or drink too much.
"To be told that we were supposed to monitor what comes out the other end of us was insulting," said Brock. "Shame on continental. It was the worst flight experience I have ever had."
Continental gave Collin a $500 voucher for a future flight for the inconvenience. He says he's not sure he'll ever use it.
More later.....
