Well!
We finally made it to New York! It feels so strange to think we'll be flying home tomorrow night!! Sorry that the blog has been so dead recently, you wouldn't believe how expensive internet charges are in the US. (Anyone coming out here, bring a laptop as WiFi is everywhere.) Also you'll notice that there are no pics of us in the USA section as we can't use USBs/memory cards on any of the computers, so I had to cheat and use pics from the internet.
Enjoy, and we will speak to you and hopefully catch up with you all after 7th April when we arrive in lovely London!!!

Las Vegas: Home of excess. The first 2 days were a bit weird actually. We stayed at The Luxor for the first night and found that a) we could not EVER find the door (to get to the street) and b) wherever you went, you could see/hear slot machines. Then we realised that that was the idea! On day 2 we moved to a motel off the main strip and drove into town for our entertainment. You could spend a hell of a lot of money in Vegas (obviously), but we figured out the 'cheapskates guide' pretty quickly and have many tips for anyone coming out this way soon (especially Dee and Paul!). By the time we left (after a brief trip into Arizona to see TGC), we were pretty fond of the whole craziness of it. Viva Las Vegas :)

You've all heard about the marvel of The Grand Canyon, and many of you have seen it. For those who haven't, it really is a 'must see' for anyone venturing this way. We spent a lovely afternoon exploring and staring in awe. What I thought was really amazing was the lack of railings and 'elf and safety' which is so popular in England! Definitely a highlight.

San Francisco: an AMAZING city. Energetic and unique. We spent 5 days exploring this fabulous place.

Welcome to our paradise island adventure. One island, one tribe!

The hammocks and fire area. What an amazing place to chill out!
