Revisiting my first fridge magnet from my entire collection

. .

Never thought it'll be as many as this!

I bought this on the way to Grand Canyon, Arizona.

Welcome to Arizona

Izwan went to Phoenix, Arizona in 2005. I personally do not think Phoenix is a popular destination for Malaysian tourists. So I thought it is really cool to have one of these.

And then I realised that Grand Canyon IS in Arizona. And that I myself have been to Arizona!! Lake Havasu, Grand Canyon etc. But not Phoenix, though. I am not sure if I have a fridge magnet that says "Phoenix". I have to check.

Hummingbird

This hummingbird magnet from Fred Harvey Company was from the first USA trip Izwan and I went. 1999. The first time we visited Grand Canyon; and bought this one at a shop by the road. I kept it safe in a box under the bed; hoping one day there'll be more than just this few.

Alhamdulillah. This is now number 150!

The Famous Route 66

Our tour bus did go on Route 66 on the way to Laughlin and from Laughlin to Grand Canyon and back again. Bought this one at one of the stops along the way, some R&R mart that sells drinks, chocolates and yes, fridge magnet too!

Here's a pic of the kids at Grand Canyon itself.

Arizona is located in the Western United States as one of the Four Corners states. Arizona is the sixth largest state in area, after New Mexico and before Nevada. Of the state's 118,000 square miles (306,000 km²), approximately 15% is privately owned. The remaining area is public forest and park land, recreation areas and Native American reservations.

London Bridge

#9


Believe it or not, there's London Bridge all over the world! There's one in London; the name often mistaken to refer to Tower bridge. There's another one at Great Ocean Road in Melbourne. And hey, there's even one in Lake Havasu City!

The London Bridge crosses an 8ft (2.4m) deep man-made canal that leads from Lake Havasu on the Colorado River to Thompson Bay. It was bought for US$2.5 million from the City of London (that's in England, just in case you're all confused now) when the bridge was replaced in 1968. The bridge was disassembled, and the marked stones were shipped to Lake Havasu City and reassembled for another US $7 million. It opened in October 1971.


That's your history lesson for today, folks!

During the bus ride from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, the bus made several stops at rest areas. One particular shops sells quite a bit of fridge magnets and this one cost me USD$3.39. I think I spent more than USD$10 there.
