We arrived in L.A. on the plane, it was a complete nightmare getting the shuttle bus to our hostel in Hollywood. after waiting ages for it to come, the driver then asked for the exact address of where everyone was staying so he could put it in his sat nav!! we were stationary for ages while he did this and he didnt seem to know any loaction in L.A. himself!!! Our hostel was the most basic we have stayed in so far,we had 3 bunkbeds in our room and the male and ...

We arrived in Las Vegas by plane. Due to some bad planning we had very little time, only two full days in total. Our first day we walked to the Strip where all the casionos and hotels are. The Strip is really long and there is a bus that runs up and down which you need to get because it is too far to walk.

There is the Boot Hill museum which has been restored to how the old town used to look with...

We arrived in Kansas City by Amtrak train which was a lot better than the Greyhound bus. We had reclining seats and a lot of leg room. As we were going to the Worlds of Fun theme park we decided to stay close to it. However, this was a mistake as we were too far away from downtown and taxis were costing at least 15 pounds each way so we spent two days at Worlds of Fun (which we walked to). It was a really cool park and had rides equivilant too Nemisis, The Big O...
