I had a great nights sleep, I think I was asleep the minute my head hit the pillow - Rodd however got next to nothing. Apparently I was snoring pretty loudly (as I'm told I do after a few) and there was an extremely loud party going on in the room next door....or so Rodd tells me, I didn't hear a thing!!We had planned with Jeanne to go and visit both her daughters at work today. She rang as she left home so we could work out where to meet so she wouldn...

So if you've read yesterday's entry you'll know we were rather late to bed..... I would have loved to sleep til noon but we are moving to a the D at Fremont Street so when I woke up at 8.30am I bounced out of bed ( ok I didn't actually bounce but considering the night we'd had I was amazingly spritely, probably due in no small part to the pizza I'd bought and the water our fab barman kept giving me to soak up the wine! ).  Once we were a...

With our A position boarding we managed to get the exit row.... Well Heather and I did and Tim and Rodd were in the row in front, while we were waiting in LA I had checked out on TripAdvisor which side of the plane is best for the view when landing in Vegas so we got a good look at the strip.
