Road Trip Day 1

I figured I should try to write this as I go along otherwise I’ll either have one exhaustive post which will be too long, or conversely I will forget almost everything and not be able to write nada.

Yesterday was the big drive to Vegas. My word what a night. In short, we ran outta gas in the middle of the Mojave Desert and had to hitchhike to a gas station to bring some back. On top of that, the cops stopped us and treated us like drunk drivers. I was navigating but went to sleep for an hour and woke up to find we’d be going in the wrong direction for 1 hour. In summary - leave San Francisco at 4pm. Arrive at hostel in Las Vegas at 7am.

We’re so tired today that we’re not even attempting to go to the Grand Canyon today. We’ll go tomorrow. Gonna hit Vegas and do some more relaxed sightseeing, then head out to a show tonight. Have to say though, from what I’ve seen so far, Vegas is impressive. We drove past Caesars Palace, Circus Circus and loads of other famous places last night all lit up like a Christmas tree. It’s such a bizarre thing to drive through miles of desert and suddenly a huge city pops up in the middle of it. Photos to follow.

    Sounds like your having fun. Keep blogging as I’m enjoying the read about your travels. Try and upload some photeys.

    Any danger about hearing more about this “trip”?
