After a very long and boring 6 hour drive we arrived at Alicia and Matthew's house in Geneva, Chicago on Sunday 27th February. Their house was a big beautiful home in suburbia; it felt like we were actually in Wisteria Lane.We were given a warm welcome with wine, light snacks, a hot fire, and they fussed over us which was nice and no one has done that to us in a long while. We were also given a tour of their beautiful home, and shown to our SEPARATE bedrooms, f...

We arrived in Atlanta at 4am and then had to wait till 6am to catch our next flight; we died in the airport ...

We arrived in Vegas on Sunday the 30th after being dropped off at the Greyhound station which was way out of town, so after trekking with our bags on the bus onto the strip, we checked in at the Imperial Swan Hotel courteous of daddy Emanuel. It was in the perfect location, middle of the strip opposite Caesar's Palace and right in the heart of Vegas and thanks to the nice check in lady we had a room with a pool view and the best thing was that we had two double...
