26 Sleeps left.......

Still trying to get my head around this blog space.....think we will just keep it simple. Therefore avoiding any mistakes!!! After much talk about what Vaughan and I want to see and do we have decided on a few activities while in LA and Vegas so have booked some activities and will work around those. Firstly, our flight leaves Napier at 5.55pm and we connect to the LA flight leaving 9.30pm arriving 12 hours later. But now we have a 5 and half hour wait till departing to Vegas. Guess who is going to be ugly after no sleep for that length of time.....poor Vaughan and Brian. When in Thailand last year I asked in a chemist for some sleeping tablets and was given over the counter a card of tablets and told to take just one. On the 13 hour flight home from Bangkok I dont remember much...so whatever these pills are I am guarding them from everyone. They are mine!!!! Vaughan can usually fall asleep in ten minutes on a flight where as I NEVER sleep. So I am hoping that these lovely little pills will do the trick again. So we arrive on the 3rd August at about 8.30pm in Vegas, the next day we have free, then on the 5th we have an early morning helicopter flight to the Grand Canyon. They take 6 people at a time and we fly over the Hoover Dam and actually land on the floor of the canyon, have a champagne brekky and return to Vegas. Takes about 4 hours. We had to give them our weights so have added a couple of kilos. Thought we be better to be lighter than heavier.(any one over 275 lbs has to book 2 seats so think we will be ok!!) On the 6th we have booked a day tour to the Hoover Dam, which is of great interest to Vaughan. While in Vegas we would love to see the show Jersey Boys and hopefully one other. Have decided to leave buying tickets for those until we get there as apparently you can buy half price tickets on the mornings of these shows. In LA we have a Universal tour and a LA sights booked. Between now and leaving lots to do......
