Houston... we have a problem

So here I am on the final leg of my journey and so quickly things are going from bad to worse!

It started off with my suitcase going missing!  I landed in Miami on Sunday, it is now Wednesday and they still haven't located my card!

I have also just found out that someone has been using my credit card!  So now I have to cancel my credit card and get it re-issued!  It is definitely time to come home!

Whomever thought that America was the land of milk and honey was sorely mistaken!

Give me good old England any day!

See you all soon (hopefully sooner rather than later)!

Love

Hello Everyone...

This will be my last blog for a while as I don't know when I'll have wireless access again!

Tinsel town!  The land of the rich and famous!  It is a strange place!  I could love this place (if I had the money to support the good stuff)!  It's a vast city with one place merging into the next.  Universal Studios was fun and I went on most of the rides.  All very elaborate and lots of fun.

Next stop is to see some good friends (Chris and Larissa) in Houston and on Sunday I fly to Miami.  That's all for now.  Here are some typical LA photo's.

I'll be back in London for 1 week (1 - 9 November).  I hope to catch up with you all then.

Love

Well, if there ever was a surreal place in this world it has to be the wacky world of Las Vegas!

There are hotels in every size, shape and theme imaginable and every show you could possibly think of as well!

I went to the Grand Canyon which was very impressive and even managed to catch one of its inhabitants on camera (see below).

I tempted fate by gambling a little and at one stage was up $100 but then lost everything and more... 

I arrived in Los Angeles this morning so I will be heading out tomorrow to explore and will keep you updated with how things are going.

That's all for now folks

I'm leaving... on a jet plane...

I spent 5 days and nights in the windy city and I must admit I am happy to be leaving!  Although it is a beautiful city most days there is so much fog that you can't see anything.  There are also a lot of homeless people in San Francisco, many more than I had thought there would be and I find it really upsetting to see so many people on the streets.

There are however beautiful places in the city as well as along the coast and the valley.  Below are a few photo's for your viewing pleasure.  The jellyfish are one of my favourites (sighted at Monterey Aquarium)

Next stop... VIVA LAS VEGAS!

That's all for now. Dx
