September

We spent a couple of days in Florida before flying up to Denver, picking up a car and then driving to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. This is a part of America that I've wanted to see for many years, but often the roads are closed because of snow. Because we went to Florida earlier than usual it was a perfect time to visit...a lot of facilities closed soon after we left. I can't describe how wonderful it is there....the geysers and hot springs are like something out of another world. We spent 3 nights in the park and then drove south to Grand Teton, staying one night in that park, again completely overwhelmed by the fantastic scenery.

The rest of the month in Florida was wonderful: socialising with good friends, theatre trips and even a day in Disneyland.
