Once we'd had a sufficient sleep in (after our days of little sleep) we tried to sort out our itinerary up until we leave USA, since it's a lot cheaper to book in advance. Last night we had settled on the plan of leaving New Orleans on Monday, going to Orlando (since we don't want to be there on a weekend) then Miami and onto New York, but the flight price had changed and it was much cheaper to fly on Friday, so we decided to go to Miami first.

It was really nice of the Indian guy in our room to offer us a lift to the airport, and I felt bad that Alice woke him up at 6, given that he normally works and had last night off so went out for it. When we got to the airport, there was a place you could check in outside, and he printed off our boarding passes, but said something about how he would have to charge us for baggage, but if we went inside we wouldn't have to pay. When we got to the desk, the guy said...

Unfortunately (and stupidly) I slept through my alarm this morning, and so we missed out on the grand canyon tour, so instead I went to check out the Hard Rock casino, as it isn't on the main strip and so we didn't visit it yesterday. It was cool to see Mark Hoppus and Tom De Longe's guitars and even though I don't like slipknot, the masks were so scary that I had to take a picture. A guy came up to me and started talking to me, and creeped me out by saying he'd ...

Alice didn't come with me, but I went to the pool party with some of the hostel. You were supposed to be residents of the hotel to get in, but Chandler, the hostel manager, made the girls sneak in behind guests, and took the boys through the pub to get them in, although it wasn't really that hard to get in, and I'm not sure whether the guys I went in behind even had keys themselves. We made a camp on the volleyball court, and then floated down the lazy river on t...

At 2 pm me and Alice went with Yohan, Peter and Alex, some Swedish boys, down the road to Stratosphere, as we had heard that it was quite easy to sneak into the pool. Even though they were quite expensive, we tried out some of the cocktails- we shared a pitcher of sangria, and then I had strawberry and cucumber mojito and then a proper vodka watermelon. Every time Yohann tried our drinks he'd express his opinion and make us feel really pleased with our choices. W...
