Mum made it over without any hitches and we had a great few days together before we set off to where we are now - Las Vegas!! We are having so much fun here! We arrived on Sunday morning to a very pleasant +50 degrees which compared to -18 when we left Calgary - it really felt like we were in the Tropics! Great flights down here - we went via San Fransisco and saw the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz - albeit very briefly from the air. We've done so much already, including a helicopter flight over Vegas at night which was just awesome!
Las Vegas has to be one of the funniest places anyone can visit. It seems that after being here for just a couple of days, nothing can suprise us anymore! We are at the point of not batting an eyelid when walking past the Colosseum, King Tut's Tomb or the Eiffel Tower! The Casinos are bizarre. There are so many of them and they are so huge and dark you could lose track of whether it is night or day in there! We've yet to really gamble and have only done the $ slot machines so far! Tonight we are going to see Mamma Mia at The Mandalay Hotel. Tomorrow we are off on a aeroplane tour over the Grand Canyon & Hoover Dam which we are really looking forward to, and then perhaps a trip on a Gondola at The Venetian Hotel when we get back! And, as if this week could not get any better, we have tickets to see the one and only Tom Jones here at our hotel, The MGM Grand, on Thursday Eve.
I thought going to Glastonbury was cool, even seeing Chico at Butlins, but Tom Jones in Vegas! I can't wait! Knickers are at the ready - well not my best one's of course!
