Sitting in my terry-lined bathrobe in the luscious surrounds of the Wynn hotel in Las Vegas, favourite music lilting in the background, it's hard to believe that we're actually here. Yet it's the 15th of April 2011 - just past the middle mark on our ten-week adventure through America.
When we began our journey from Singapore, we had landed in Los Angeles, flown off the very next night to Orlando. Been through a week and a half of theme park madness, then suffered a near backlash for the next few days, from over-theme parking. Back to Los Angeles for two weeks where we were taken to places where only the locals went. Did a drive down to San Francisco, via two nights in Cambria and another two in Carmel By The Sea. Eight nights in San Francisco, then four in Napa Valley. Drove through to Los Angeles, stayed for a couple of nights, then drove five hours to Las Vegas.
So here we are.
