Well yesterday began as just an average day, the end to our 3 day weekend.  Didn't anticipate too much to do today besides the average running around.  We had been looking for new mattresses so that was more than likely going to be the highlight of the day.  We called some friends up…

We left early Sat. morning for the 5 hour drive to Vegas. Well it would have been five hours if we wouldn't have missed a turn comming out of Phoenix. So the five hour drive quickly turned into a 7ish hour drive.  To be honest though I didn't really mind because&n…

(This was written at McCarren Airport in Las Vegas, NV on September 4, 2006.  It was an e-mail to family and friends.  The great thing about McCarren is they have free wireless internet.  It might not still be that way.  I was deprived of sleep but at the same time very excited …

About three weeks worth of Waterfall hunting. From California north through Oregon, Washington, then through Idaho and Monatana and Glacier National Park. Then south through Idaho, and Nevada before coming home.

After 24 flights, 6 pairs of flip flops, 3 campervans, 4 pairs of sunglasses, many many bus journeys and countless bottles of sun cream, we are HOME!! We have had such an amazing time over the past 7 months and are sad that its come to an end, but its also nice to be back in our fla…

flying from Frankfurt to Los Angeles - 5000 miles, driving from LA to Vegas - 292 miles, walk inside the pub - 30 ft, meeting a whole bunch of crazy people and having a party - immeasurable for anything else i have a mastercard and 2 weeks of vaction

Oh my how fast the time flies, when all you really want is for the time to stand still for a while. The last day of my trip was already here and I was sad of having to say goodbye to some very good friends. Early morning Monday, both Mike and I were up talking and of course “playing” …

I decided to go to Vegas by bus rather than fly as I wanted to see the Mojave desert from the ground rather than from the air. It's also a lot less expensive than flying but on reflection I don't think it's worth the saving as the service is atrocious and the attitude of the staff is deplorable. My…

Most people want to be as far away from their place of employment as possible on the weekend but as far as I'm concerned going to the UNLV Festival of communities on Saturday was like taking a trip to India, Africa, most of Europe, and Asia all within a few hours!! This was the first event of this …

Within a few hours of our Travbuddy Red rock hike (AKA the photoshoot!) the gang came to get the party started at the Three AngryWives Pub.  The hikers were now joined by Heinz (Jdax57), Will (W_Clemmons), Nancy (Fancynancy), Sven(Svenman99), Kaycee (KayceeDawn), and sadly one of our guests of…

This was my first trip to Las Vegas. My friends were celebrating their 5 year anniversary of being life partners. We stayed at the MGM Grand and got a great suite as an upgrade.  My friend simply told the front desk they were celebrating an anniversary and threw the guy $50 and we go…

I drove to LA for the holidays on Sunday. I knew if I left on Monday or Tuesday, I would be stuck somewhere in the El Cajon pass. Every time it rains, CALTRANS closes the El Cajon pass. There is always snow in that area. It was a beautiful drive. There was no traffic. I left at 8am. Which is t…

I really don't have much to say about this trip - other than the fact that I had a wonderful time! I saw three shows: Wayne Brady, Mystere (Cirque de Soleil) and Bette Middler. I played the slots and had a little luck! :)

DID I SHRINK?!!?!?!I came here at 9am, there was not a lot of people. I try to come here when it’s late at night or wee in the morning. I like to take photos different shades of light and shadows. People were looking at me funny at I was lying on the floor taking photos to get a good angle and pe…

West Wendover, Nevada is like a mini Las Vegas with its 5 casinos.  It is on the state line with Utah, where gambling is not legal.  The casinos literally start at the state line - funny!  Many people from nearby in Utah stop here to contribute to the Nevada state income.  Wendo…
