Whilst I was waiting for the pancake pan to be free an Austrian girl told me I was tanned and gave me some advice about what to do in New York because she was an Au Pair there. Another Irish girl told me about the mob museum, so me and Alice headed over to the old strip area. On the way we stopped at the Grand Canyon tour booth, who told us that the cheap tour you can do wouldn't let us take our own bottled water or snacks, and tried to convince us to go on the m...

We had to make sure we had eaten something before our floating tank session and couldn't drink coffee, but once we'd said goodbye to Andy, we headed off. We were a bit early, so I had a complimentary vanilla tea, which was quite cool as you filled the teabags with the loose tea, and then put a stick through the tea bag, and rested the stick on top of the mug so that the tea bag was dunked into the water. When our tanks were ready (they wash it 3 times in betwee...

I had a horrible dream last night where I was possessed by the devil, which I woke up from and was a bit worried about going back to sleep again as it was such a horrible dream.

They pointed out what they called sand dollars- little round white shells which have a pattern which looks a bit like a flower on. We bumped into one of their friends who had a dog with a...

I had told Alice and Andy the night before I was going to get the breakfast from Whole Foods and coffees from 7 eleven, but it was only as I was walking down the road that I realised that if we checked out at 10, like we thought we had to (turns out it was actually 11) we would have time to do that after we had checked out, as Stephanie wasn't picking us up until 12.30, as she had her report to finish. However, because I was already awake I carried on and picked ...
