Places I've been in 2008.

A knackering flight from Hawai'i to Los Angeles to Las Vegas. Los Angeles airport terminal 7 only had one x-ray machine working, at least on the United part of the terminal. A lady feinted in the queue, which led to all sorts of problems.Las Vegas airport had its obnoxious "helper" staff. I asked t…

Our quick visit to Las Vegas is over way too soon. It was a lot of fun.  There is a lot more to see here, so I'll definitely be planning to return.  We need to be in Carlsbad this evening for New Year's Eve, so there are a lot of miles to drive and we need to get an early start.  Fir…

I always thought I could not have cared less about going to Vegas...... after all i don't gamble.  Someone once told me you could spend a week in Vegas and never step foot in a casino.  Well, that's pseudo-true.  You can't really not step foot in a casino, but you can spend a week an…

Another day of waking up early! We packed lunch and headed out to Red Rock for the drive and a little hiking. It was a nice warm day with a little breeze. When we decided to eat there was a picnic spot with some shade that was perfect. After Red Rock we headed down to the strip to mainly see the B…

Last day in Vegas was uneventful.  However, I did not mention that we had two rooms and michelle's room smelled horrible because the sink and toilet kept backing up!  We called maintenence 4 times during the 4 days we were at The Luxor!  Actually, the last time the maintenence guy ca…

1.      THE BEST TIME TO VISIT It is easy to think of Las Vegas as being permanently hot as it is right in the middle of the Mojave Desert, but this is not the case. It does get very hot indeed in the summer months of July and August with maximums of around 40 degrees Ce…

We are 7. Our group make up is two Sweedish girls, an Irish couple and Andrew, Deb and I from Australia. Dave the driver drops us to a hotel where we meet a tour company's shuttle which takes us out to their main office. Here we check in, are issued with a breakfast box and board the coach that …

I spent the weekend in Las Vegas. I left Redondo Beach at 2pm on Friday and stopped for McDonald's at 2:15. I hit some traffic on the way, of course, because it's LA plus the fact that I'm driving to Vegas on the popular weekend of 7/7/07. I took the 91 to the 15. It's very easy to get there. …

The whole thing starts out on Friday morning when the city blocks off the street that reaches from the post office to the other side of Gazebo Park.  The vendors start setting up and the music is quiet but inviting.  I can hear all the activity from my yard.  No, I don't travel to th…

I have an uncle that is a Hobie Catamaran Racer. He goes all over the world to race, and as a matter of fact he is going to Fiji soon to Race in a Regatta there. He lives in Henderson Nevada. This is about a 20 minute drive from Las Vegas. If you want to do something new and different and tired of…

Well today we got in to LA after a 12 hr flight, got straight out to get form National our car, I did notice though much more police on the airport and it is much cleaner then I remebered form my last visite. National has now a service where you can select your own car so we chose a PT cruser as i…

Caesar's Palace was the most hilarious place I have ever been in.
