Hi all, Just a quick note to say sorry i have been absolutely rubbish at updating this but we didn't really have internet in Fiji and America has been quite crazy and it actually takes so long. Also a couple of times i have updated it at an internet cafe and the computer kept crashing when im in the middle of writing so i nearly chucked the thing out the window...so i have kind of given up!! Also my NEW camera has broken and so has Vikki's...thankfully we didnt lose too many days without a camera as Vikki's dad arrived to save the day!!
Fiji was amazing we Island hopped for 12 nights...did 6 islands in total! Weather was very up and down but i managed to jump out of another plane from 14,000 ft...landed on the beach and it was flipping awesome!!! Fiji was great to see but on the days when the weather was rubbish it was quite boring...met some wicked people though and did loads of snorkelling. Also went shark snorkelling and feeding...that was pretty amazing to see!! The fijian who took us on the trip was a comedian...i was the first in the water and he swam under the boat came up behind me and pinched my bum and i thought it was a shark...in my panic i went under and swallowed most of the water in the sea i think!! Was hilariuos and made him laugh for hours after and everyone else!!
From Fiji we flew to LA....Vikki's dad, brother and dad's friend picked us up in our people carrier hired for our adventure and that was where our road trip started!!!
Straight to Vegas baby!!!! Spent 3 nights at the Venetian...very nice hotel..definitely the best of the bunch and i truely felt like a princess...they even turned your sheets down at night time before you came home!!!!!!!!!! Mum i want the same treatment when im back please....i've started as i mean to carry on! I only gambled a little bit in Vegas but did quite well actually...always came out tops! The craps tables are great!! Went to the Stratosphere for dinner one night and did one ride at the top which i screamed through from start to finish and made everyone laugh!! These guys brought tickets and bottled out so crazy Anna and Vikki took them off their hands...and off we went!! Went to see the Blue Man group which was hilarious and Vikki and I went to see Beatles Cirque du soleil...that was amazing too!! Had a fab time in vegas. Great City.
Left Vegas and drove to Death valley...beautiful place ....not much around there though. They warn you to take loads of water...water for you, water for the car...it's literally the out back....if you broke down you could be there for hours and not see a single person!! We stayed on a ranch and had a really good couple of days! It was 104 both days...far too hot!! We got the oldens to play the HEEE HAAA drinking game...now that was hilarious!
From Death valley we drove to Yosemite....great place but again not much to see and do so only spent a night there!! We drove through snow though so that was pretty cool after being in 104 degree heat the day before! Was great to see and we saw a baby bear in the wild!!
From Yosemite we drove to Reno for one night and headed to a big casino for the evening!! This was purely just a stopped over point so didnt get chance to do much there!!
Reno to San Francisco.....San fran was an evertful busy time...every waking minute we were doing things...did a open top bus tour of the whole area..had dinner in Bubba Gumps shrimp co...did shopping etc etc and then on the last day went to Alcatraz...amazing place to see!! One night here was very messy and very funny!!
San Francisco to San Diego in one day....15 hours car journey arrived at San D at midnight....only really had a day here so we just checked out the city ...went to the beaches...drove around exploring and that night headed to LA!
LA....this is where we are now....staying in Hollywood and having a fab time...yesterday we went celeb spotting and did a bus tour for 6 hours ...didn't get to see anyone...missed Micharel jackson by about 20 minutes!! Saw Loads of stars houses tho. Saw some wicked beaches where there were carnivals etc going on and then last night went shopping and to the Cheese cake factory for dinner...OMG i was in heaven...altho couldn't manage a cheese cake...had a taste of pete's instead!! Today we went to the Queen Mary for lunch and tonight its the boys last night so planning on having a few drinks!! Tomorrow Vikki and I are going to be kids at Disney land. The following day we fly to New York...where we will see our mum's!!!
