After our first trip we planned this 3 week trip in Western USA and took in some of the major sights including a trip up the PCH.
A very short journey today to Las Vegas. Lorna’s favourite place. Last night we ate in Wulfys which is a sports bar and has ten pin bowling but we were more interested in the food and drink. The only disappointing thing about the room was the poor internet connection, otherwise it was a great room and at only $99 one of the best valued rooms so far. Pahrump is a nice enough place but with Las Vegas only 1 hour away it doesn’t come close to the real thing. So…
Read MoreWell not much to show today, we had a nice meal last night in one of the hotels many restaurants, today we just planned on lazing around the pool with a bit of blackjack. We didn’t play much last night because the tables had too high minimums and we weren’t prepared to blow too much that quickly. Still we did manage to get a few games and get a few free drinks. Today we had breakfast in at the hotels pool side restaurant which was bloody awful. It took ages…
Read MoreThis morning was a happy time for me, not so for Lorna. I was glad to be leaving Las vegas behind, and heading out of Nevada, Casinos and high prices were driving me crazy. We spent $2,000 between us in 2 days, and that was without hotel bills as this was complimentary. We only changed up $200 for gambling so the rest was for food/drink and the Show. Last night we ate at the Bellagio’s Chinese restaurant which was lovely. The show was very good, the choreography was fantastic considering…
Read MoreWell today we were looking forward to our next destination, last night in the hotels bar we brought our laptop down and started to look for suitable hotels in Phoenix for us to stay in for a couple of days. We came across The Boulders Resort & Golden Door Spa which is a fantastic resort just North of Phoenix in a place called Carefree. It was only going to take us 2 hours today so we left in time to get us there for midday which we achieved. We were…
Read MoreDid he, or didn’t he that is the question, well, he did give in and decided to play a round of golf at the Boulders, we got up this morning and decided to play at around midday if a time was available, We got the go ahead and we headed down to the golf pro shop to see how much their golf balls were. Just as well we did they wanted $3 each for normal crappy single balls, as we. Sorry, I was banking on losing a shed load we…
Read MoreWell today we spent mostly on the road heading to our next destination and final stop off at a really nice resort in Palm Springs. It is called the Ranchos Las Palmas we will be staying here for 6 nights and chilling out, there may not be much in the way of videos but we will try and post as many daily photos. I left my charger for my camcorder at Boulders, so I have to be careful on what I shoot, so I may shoot until the battery dies…
Read MoreWell we didn’t expect top have much to show these few days whilst we are here chilling at Palm Springs but we will post each day anyway just to let you know what we did here. Today we got up had breakfast at the onsite Starbucks and then walked through the crowds to the water park (Well I use the term loosely) But there was one slide there and a lazy river as well as about 15 people so we stayed for about 30 minutes and then came to the…
Read MoreToday was an early start, well especially for Lorna as she was kept up all night by some noisy pipes which meant that obviously I had to be awake so at 7 ish we were changing rooms yet again, this time and hopefully the last time, we are in a great room overlooking the 5th & 6th holes with great views. This early rise meant that we now decided to play golf earlier then planned. We changed our tee time to the next available so we hit our first ball…
Read MoreSorry no video today, we just sat by the pool today and quite frankly did nothing, I went to Best Buy for an hour and Lorna went shopping later in the day for a few hours at the Mall but that’s it I am afraid. Just took a couple of picks from our balcony just to put up today. There may be something from tonight. We only have a few days left now so there might be some more to come but no promises.
Read MoreWell I am sorry but not too much to report today, we did go out this morning to Denny’s for breakfast again and then onto do some shopping (Again for Lorna) at Tiffany & Co down a posh road called El Paseo which is just like Rodeo Drive in LA only without the crowds. After that we then headed back to the hotel to drop off the goods and get ready for another lazy day by the pool, this was only briefly interrupted by me seeing something quite interesting in…
