So today started early with a pre-breakfast drive to Blacktail Pond where we saw the sunrise and got some amazing views of Grand Teton. We were also lucky enough to see a coyote, lots of lovey little ground squirrels and lots of different birds. From here we drive to the Antelope Flats to see the Moulton Barns. The barns are the last remaining barns of John and Thomas Alma who were the original Mormon settlers to the area. Here we saw loads of swallows nesting, m...

Today started with an early breakfast so we could head off on our bear hunt. So after breakfast we hopped in the minibus and drove out to the Grand Teton National Park entrance. On the way we stopped to look at a Bison and admire the view of Grand Teton, Middle Teton and the Teton Glacier. Here we also saw lots of very lovely ground squirrels running around. After admiring the view and taking many photos (I might even have more photos of Grand Teton than I do o...

I got stupidly excited at breakfast by the pancake machine and think that I will be having the same fo...

Once we had checked on our luggage and went through security I had a little look around the shops and then caught our first plane to Dallas. The flight to Dallas was just over 9, long enough for me to watch a few films and have a couple of inflight meals. Upon ar...

I've had the most amazing time and have so many fab memories of our month away and can definitely say that I love Australia and look forward to going back at some point to explore it more. We explored so many new places, saw some amazing sights, did things we had never done and met some lovely people along the way who helped to make it even more enjoyable. So thank you to everyo...
