Hello strangers, all this travelling has left us without the internet for the last few weeks especially in Fiji where you were lucky to have elecricity let alone communications !

Since New Zealand our destinations have included Fiji's beautiful Yasawa islands with lots of resorts dotted around them (photos to follow with any luck)...

Los Angeles, home of the stars & also the craziest traffic & roads ever seen ! try weaving across 8 lanes of traffic at night, not much fun ! Visited Santa Monica, Venice beach & also a tour of the city to see all the riches in Beverly hills Rodeo drive etc... Unfortunately the hand prints at the chinese theatre were out of bounds as the Academy awards were on that day but all the other bits were really cool to see if not somewhat annoying.....

San Diego, Much more like it, nice and relaxed with lots of nostalgia and things to see & do, Also ventured into Mexico for about 20 minutes across the border ! CRAZY !

Grand Canyon. Awesome ! Huge and very very spectacular, the colours change throughout the day with the light and it has to be seen to be beleived !

Fabulous Las Vegas ! Well what can we say ! Wonderfully tacky, bigger better & brighter than everything else anywhere and huge ! The hotels are beautifully decked out as are the top casino's Ceasers Palace has to be seen in order to take in the sheer scale of this beast ! Takes up about half the strip at the top end ! The Mandalay Bay was also brilliant as the House of Blues was rocking when we gopt there with an amazing live act We didn't win our fortune but didn't lose it either so all round a good experience after seeing a cool show & blagging a few free drinks, onwards now to Yosemite National park... Will keep y'all updated when we have more time on the interweb but hope all are well....:-)
