Hi gang, I don't really have time to finish off the travel update from the the US, but will try to add them at some stage.

Whether that is because nothing will compare to the friends and time I spent in the US or that I was just totally drained and needed a few days detox I'm not sure, but whateva! Yesterday was one of the craziest days of my life. I flew up to 12,00...

Hi again, What can I say about Vegas? It must have been the madest 48 hours of the trip for me. Far from as good as Slim's doing all the cowboy stuff, but just completley off the chart.

Next up was Kelly and we went through alsmost the deckof cards with Kelly havin...

Hi all, I have just got offa 12 hour flight from LAX to Auckland and can\'t check into my hostel until 2, so I thought I would spend some time on the internet uploading pictures and adding postcards. I have lots to tell you since Slim\'s so here\'s the next day.... We got up early at Slim\'s loaded up the van as usual and then headed to monument valley. Before reaching their we stopped at a famous scene in the film Forest Gump, where Tom Hanks is runnin...
