As of 3pm today I am officially on holiday. I stayed up half the night trying to finalize details of our roadtrip as my friend had to pull out last minute. So now it’s going to be 4 of us - me, Sue, and two Korean guys I’ve never met.  And Sue is Korean. So should be fun!

The first couple of days will be Vegas and the Grand Canyon.  We’re actually driving to Vegas at 3pm so I started work today at 6am after about 4 hours sleep. Then in less than 3 hours, we’re driving to Nevada which will take at least 10 hours. But our hostel in Vegas looks cool, it’s got a swimming pool and hot-tub so good times are ahead! I’m not very interested in the casinos in Las Vegas, but I’ll have to check one out just to see it*. Hopefully we’ll catch a free show though.

Grand Canyon tomorrow, then back to Vegas and then to Los Angeles for two days. Venice Beach, Universal Studios and Hollywood. I want my photo with Angelina Jolie’s star on the Walk of Fame! We leave LA pretty late on Sunday night, so we should be back in San Francisco around 2am. And I start work at 6am on Monday morning. I’m expecting much tiredness.

Some of the French people at my house got jealous of our trip and copied us. They’re renting a car too and going to Vegas today as well. But they’re going to go to Death Valley and stuff after, not really fussed about that. Valerie is one of those French people though, so I’ll see her later in Vegas. Awesome.

* I’ve set myself a gambling limit of $1. I think I can handle it.
