As I write this I am sitting on a plane flying across the country. Allipalooza-Southwest has officially begun. I begin my trip by spending 5 days in Las Vegas for the 5th Annual OMG 2012! Cancer Summit.
On Monday I am renting a campervan and driving around the Southwest including Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Grand Staircase / Escalante National Monument, Grand Canyon National Park and Sedona.
I am very excited. I've been planning this leg of Allipalooza for months. Not only do I get to spend the weekend with 500+ young adult cancer survivors, caregivers, and advocate, but I get to spend 10 days exploring the desert.
A few minutes ago we flew over the Grand Canyon. Such a beautiful sight from the sky. Hard to believe I will be there in person in just a week. I am truly lucky to have this opportunity to make a dream come true and travel the country.
I will try and update this blog and post pictures on twitter throughout my travels. www.twitter.com/THEallipalooza. (You do not need a twitter account to view my updates and pictures on twitter)
The pilot has just called for us to turn off all electrical devices so I must go. I will post this as soon as I can get connected.
Goodbye for now,
Alli
