Arizona's Polar Express Stops At The North Pole And Grand Canyon
Trains and Christmas go together like airlines and in-flight WiFi. If you agree with our slightly ridiculous comparison then you’re probably already thinking about boarding the Grand Canyon Railway’s version of the Polar Express. Not only will Santa be checking to see what Linda and Timmy want for the holidays, but the train will make a final stop at the North Pole. Well, we’re thinking that it's not exactly the real home of Santa and his Christmas crew, but a little village loaded with lights and decorations looks pretty good to us.
Adult tickets are $29 and seats for the kiddies are either $15 or $19 depending on whether you decide to go during the week or weekend. The Polar Express departs from Williams, Arizona and chugs through the forest in search of their version of the North Pole. Hot chocolate and cookies will keep your blood sugar nice and elevated throughout the journey. In December there’s usually a departure at 6:30pm and 8:00pm most nights of the week, but tickets seem to sell out quickly, so get booking if you’re interested.

Shirtless Man Moves Into Our Territory
Guess who just got back from a road trip! Trailer-living, naked-bongo-playing Matthew McConaughey wrote a "Travel Blog" on his MySpace page about driving to Baja California, Mexico with his old friend. After that, he hit some American landmarks. Here's his unedited report on the Grand Canyon:
I spent my 39th birthday on the southern rim of the Grand Canyon...almost got "butted" of the edge by a ram and caught some shooting stars...as for the first sight of the GC, mother nature created something that looks so fake, its real....cool
We think he should stick to stoner surf movies.
