NSX Journey Home – Day 3, The Grand Canyon

NSX at the Grand CanyonToday turned out to be double the journey I had originally planned as I ended up cramming two day’s worth of driving into one. This will have the effect of shortening the overall trip home by one day, but also make for two very long hard back to back days.

But I’m not complaining! I’m driving an NSX across the country and seeing totally cool stuff!

NSX Journey Home – Day 2, Las Vegas and the Nevada Desert

NSX in DesertToday began the second leg of my journey from San Francisco back to Dallas. I started in Bakersfield, CA with a destination of Las Vegas. The trip was roughly a five hour journey, not including stops. Incidentally, I’m averaging 24.5 MPG with cruise control mainly set around 77-80 MPH. Not bad for a 170 mile-per-hour supercar.

The NSX Begins the Journey Home

IMG_0063.JPGToday was a long day, but well worth it. I flew from Big “D” to San Francisco to meet the newest member of the family for the first time, my new NSX. Brandee was kind enough to actually pick me up at the San Jose airport and we had a nice ride back to San Francisco together.

After taking care of business, Brandee said her farewells to her baby, and I took possession. Today was the first time I had ever sat, ridden in, or driven an NSX, so read on for my first impressions…

Golden Colorado, the Coors Brewery and Red Rocks

Main street is lined with shops and restaurants, and the world’s largest single brewing site, Coors Brewery, was founded here in 1873. It is a beautiful little town, surrounded by some of the most stunningly rugged scenery I’ve ever visited.

Review: Hilton Garden Inn Denver South Meridian

Hilton Garden Inn DenverThis is where I stayed during my Weekend Trip to Denver.

Overall, I would stay at this hotel again. The only bad news is that if you are a Hilton Gold member, this hotel doesn’t have any premium rooms to bump you up to. All they can do is put you on the top floor. But it’s a new, clean, friendly hotel with free wireless internet access. What more do you need from a place to bed down for the night?
