Southwest Road Trip

Top 10 funniest things that happened during our Southwest Road Trip: 

1. Rin spots some conic-shaped mountains and asks, “Are those tee-pees?”
2. A commercial on the radio for Taco Bell talks about a poll for the California Gubernatorial Race: “Buy a Taco Supreme to vote for Arnold.  A Taco Grande is a vote for Grey Davis.”  Rin asks, “Do those votes count?”
3. During our hot air balloon ride in Sedona, the pilot tells a story of another visitor who in all seriousness was determined to spot a jackelope.  All passengers, including Rin, laugh with amusement at the tale.  The next day, while in a store nearby, Rin sees a stuffed jackelope hanging on the wall like a deer’s head.  He points at it and says with emotion, “Aww!  Look!  They killed a jackelope!”
4. Lu sleeps in while Rin & Vin take a walk in search of the largest canyon in the world, The Grand Canyon, which is located only a few hundred feet away from our guest room.  Somehow, they can’t find it.  After half an hour, they end up at some dinky residential buildings.  Lu points out that the Global Positioning Equipment is not just needed for driving.
5. During dinner at the Pizza Palace in Las Vegas, Rin gets last minute advice from his dad over the cell phone:  “Watch out for seedy people.  Beware of cunning girls.”
6. Stopped for gas and snacks at a convenience store.  After completing our shopping, Dav calls out, “C’mon!  Only 10 more hours to Hawaii!!” and elicits a  memorable look of confusion from the store clerk.
7. We see an RV driving on the highway towing a small car at it’s rear bumper.  Dav comments, “How is that car pushing the RV?”
8. Late one evening at yet another indistinguishable gambling floor in Las Vegas, Dav searches desperately for an open craps table.  Lu steps in and hands Dav a brochure:  “When the fun stops:  Understanding Problem Gambling.”
9. The Hotel in Navajo territory has emblems on the bed’s headboard that looked like the Chevy truck symbol, which causes Vin & Rin to wonder out loud if the Navajo Nation is sponsored by Chevy.
10. As the group gets ready to leave the Grand Canyon for hedonistic Las Vegas, Lu makes the off-hand remark, “We’re at the end of the nature-oriented part of our trip.”  Rin responds with a furrowed brow, “You mean the food?”

Note: Rin claims that this list should contain some stupid/funny things Lu did.  Yet, for some reason he can’t recall anything Lu did that was foolish.
Note From Rin: I'm sure that if the "Author" of this page remembered anything about her incidents she'd list them as well...wouldn't she?
