I know what you mean. Last June, the wife and I took a driving vacation from Dallas to Reno and back. A necessary detour on the way there (THANKS WES!) was crossing the Navajo twin bridges. I remember standing on the north span looking up the river, hoping to catch a glimpse of some light blue rafts...
The return trip had us hitting 3 national parks in 3 days (Yosemite, Death Valley and Grand Canyon). Although the trip was beautiful, I'll never do that again. I could have easily spent a week at each destination, although I'll wait for winter to visit DV again!
