1/28/2011辞去在美国的工作，正式实现我们的梦想
我们比原计划晚了2天出发，一来需要多点时间准备，二来碰巧大峡谷正在下雪。我们抵达大峡谷的时候，天气已经回暖了，在车上睡是没问题的。2/6早上11点出发徒步，去了"Bright Angel Trail", 中文意思是"明亮的天使"。虽然天气已经回暖，路上依然满地积雪。 峡谷太阳照不到的地方很滑，让徒步增加了不少困难。几度我以为自己不行了想放弃，可是我还是坚持下去走到景点。我的努力没有白费，这里的景色美得让人窒息。大峡谷壮观得让人觉得这就是整个世界了。中途休息在树下吃牛肉干，面对着世界级的美景，牛肉干比牛排还好吃! 我妈妈一直叫我不要那么辛苦坐直升飞机去就好，在这要告诉你一声，看到的景色绝对不是$350能买到的。徒步了差不多10公里，6个小时，非常值得。

RTW First Stop - Grand Canyon (2/5/2011 - 2/7/2011)
We quited our jobs on 1/28/2011 and made our dreams come true.
We delayed 2 days from our original plan. First, we need a little bit more time to prepare. Second, it's snowing in Grand Canyon. So when we arrived Grand Canyon on 2/5, it's getting warm already. We can spend our night sleeping in car. We went hiking on Bright Angel Trail at 11am the next day. Even the weather was nice and warm, roads were still icy and snowy. This made the hiking harder. There were couple times I thought of giving up, but I didn't. Good that I made it to the view point, Grand Canyon is so beautiful that made me stop breathing. Grand Canyon is so "grand" that made me wonder if this is the whole world. Jim Roger described that "Grand Canyon is absolutely a world class view". He's right. We rested under the trip and enjoyed our beef jerky with this world class view. That's life. My mom was worried about me and said I should have taken the helicopter for Grand Canyon Tour. Mom, you can't buy the view of beauty of Grand Canyon with $350. We hiked 6 miles for 6 hours, totally worth it!
