Update!

Sorry for not updating this blog for a long time, there weren't that many internet access oppotunity.
Ok so now we are at Amarillo TX
The town is ... dead?? i mean there is really nothing here... dont come here =)

anyways back to where we were
after the last blog, we part with Mike's family in the morning.


We got to Las Vegas around 5pm
so we checked in to the plaza hotel in downtown Las Vegas

That was the view from our window
we spent most of our night around downtown
The next day we went down to the Strips
starting at mandaley bay

Then we took the train to Lexor


And then we found this hotel (donno what the name is)


It looks like a disney castle
Then we went to New York in Las Vegas


Then we saw this roller coaster called Manhattan Express, which is quite big!
I, Yasushi, and Keiske decided to ride it!!
It was AWESOME!!! ($14)

  That red rail is the express
Then we kept walking along the strips

the towers are tilted =)
 
Then we reached Paris!

  
Then we kept moving until we reach Bellagio

We were a bit too late, so as soon as we could take the picture there.. the fountain was done...
Nonetheless, we get a pretty darn good picture



Then we kept going


And found Vinice
Then we were done for the night,
we headed back to the hotel, and spent time in the downtown.

We decided after 2 nights in Vegas that "What happened in Vegas stays in Vegas"  =)
The thing is that I and Deepac won a jackpot $1,000,000
 
But we took the offer double or nothing on a coin flip
we lost....
So let say we did not win or lose too much =)
I however, enjoyed the time I spent there even if it was a bit costly (if u know what i mean)

The next morning we checked out and boarded the bus to Flagstuff

When we reach Flagstuff, it was 4 am in the morning.
We checked into hotel and discussed about options to get to grand canyon.
Sadly, the road was icy and neither Yu or I are willing to risk driving so the only option left was to get there by public transportation.

the catch was that it was at least 50 per person and timing was not very convenient.

I, Deepac and Yu decided to not go, and Yasushi and Keiske decided to stay and go on the public transportation.

So then we split up, I D and U came to Amarillo TX right away to avoid long bus ride as oppose to going to Houston without any stops.

We ll meet up again in Houston if everything goes according to the plan.


At least we went around Flagstuff before we left
Oh I failed to mention that the place is COLD... not cold... COLD... really really COLD

 
Well, now we are at Amarillo, and it is like a dead town...
Not kidding, I would not go out at night!
it is as if there will be zombies running around.

Anyways, this blog is soooo much work...
I will try to keep it updated..
but for now,
Byte out!

(p.s. thanks Bruce, we tried to win big but not quite there yet) =)

Wow - you must have walked 20 miles in Vegas! I claim 10% of your winnings in Vegas for your "training". Are you in New Orleans yet? I hope you went to Preservation Hall!
