Well as they say a lot of “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” and it’s easy to see why!! We were lucky and stayed at the Flamingo which was right in the middle of the strip and meant we could easily walk to loads of the other famous casinos, Bellagio, Ceaser’s Palace, MGM, Excalibur,Continue reading “Vegas, Baby”

Neon Graveyard
On another morning we got up way too early to visit the Neon graveyard. What Vegas has done is create a museum where, as the casinos shut, renovate, get bought out or demolished, their signs which usually by now are rather iconic go to to die. It had to be a guided tour and althoughContinue reading “Neon Graveyard”
Zion National Park
Leaving Las Vegas in a hungover stupor after our four nights of decadence we drove once again into the desert towards Zion National Park. After so many days of being surrounded by the desert it was quite incredible when the landscape changed and we entered canyon land. It was really quite breathtaking. In one dayContinue reading “Zion National Park”
Arrival at Bryce Canyon
The drive from Zion to Bryce is fantastic. The scenery along the way is really quite unique and even though it’s a relatively short drive it took us a bit longer as we were constantly pulling over to gaze over the incredibly different scenery. On arrival we scored a great campsite and thought we wouldContinue reading “Arrival at Bryce Canyon”

It is monsoon season here and as the canyon is so narrow and bowl like,Continue reading “Page and Upper Antelope Canyon”
Lower Antelope Canyon
It was so good yesterday that we had to go back for more!! So we signed up for a tour through the lower part of the canyon which had recovered from the flash flood. We found out that the tour operators actually empty the water out by using buckets! The views, the experience and theContinue reading “Lower Antelope Canyon”
Big John’s Texas BBQ
“If you smoke it they will come” (Tagline on the waiters’ T-shirts) Actually in Arizona, but a fantastic place with trestle tables all set out and a country band doing their stuff. Outside were two large BBQs where they were cooking the food. The key is to cook for 14hrs, keep the temp between 180Continue reading “Big John’s Texas BBQ”
In n Out Burger
We have always wanted one and judging by the queue in the place so did everyone else in San Francisco! A choice of just three burgers! They were great, I particularly liked the presentation. T

Just a selection of tasty morsels we have discovered. The funny thing is is that while I was waiting for these photos to upload we have just downloaded and done our first 7 minute workouts!!! Maybe we are enjoying the spoils of this country a bit too much. T 99c for this huge canContinue reading “Some tasty bits”
