1/9 I woke up in Hollywood, California. The mornings in our company do not seem to work. Today was no different, as we called the reception at 11:40 to extend our stay till tomorrow, as we simply couldn’t get out of bed early enough to check out. The plan was...

31/8 I woke up in Barstow. We crashed in Holiday Inn Express in Barstow, located near the railroad tracks (I take it the land wasn’t too expensive), so the morning was filled with moaning how noisy it was and that Leah and Shane could not sleep. I have no idea...

30/8 I woke up in Fresno, In-N-Out Burger is my new amazing find, hence the breakfast choice for today. It’s what McDonald’s should be like. No fuss, no 50 types to choose from, just plain and simple: hamburger or cheeseburger, shakes, sodas, and that’s all! And it’s all fresh, chips...

29/8 I woke up in Yosemite, California Woke up in a tent in Yosemite after a freezing night under 2 blankets, but the view makes up for anything here. Shane opened the door to the tent and I could see the top of the mountains with some sequoias sticking out,...

27/8 I woke up in Vegas, Nevada This could actually be statement on it’s own. I was on the mission yesterday to get the pic with the sculpture of horses in Cesar palace, but we got there late and it was shut. Lesson for me: don’t ever assume Vegas rolls...

Maggie — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 06:03:05 +0000

26/8 I woke up in Vegas, Nevada One of the old time favourite things on my “bucket list” was shooting AK-47. Don’t ask me why. It just sounds so retro, yet powerful. Yes, this is a girly description of a selective-fire, gas-operated 7.62×39mm assault rifle, also known as a Kalashnikov,...

25/8/11 finally in Las Vegas, Nevada After a night in the car, we arrived in Vegas around noon. From the outskirts it looked smaller than I though. Vegas is definitely a night city, during the day it looks like a shut Disneyworld. Whilst heading towards the hotel, we came across...
