Today 4 travelled from LA, 6 from the Joshua Tree and 1 from Gatwick for a rendezvous in Vegas!
The journeys all had their moments - bless Natalie the drive through the streets of LA to the airport was horrendous, I was just sitting in the back but I had a sweat on!! So many cars, lanes and swerving vehicles...
Solange spent the flight from Gatwick surrounded by clampits (UK Hillbillies!!) And when we met her at arrivals she looked as though she could have strangled someone! She was also carrying a package of fake apples...all will be revealed!!
We then jumped in a stretch limo to the Paris hotel, well when in Vegas!!!
We had arranged to meet the other 6 in the reception at 5....but no sign of them. So as it was beer o'clock off we strolled down to a little Parisian bar and there we spotted the late arrivals just checking in!!! Sat Nav troubles, doubling their travel time!!! As they quickly sorted themselves out us 5 decided on a bottle of Prosecco...served by a rather surly waitress!
Vegas's answer to the London Eye (the High Roller) was booked for 6, so we had to power walk along the Las Vegas Boulevard to get there in time! But we did, and with drinks in hand we boarded our private capsule! The sun had set so the views and lights over Vegas were stunning!
Like most of the USA adventure there was no time for dawdling, as we had a table reservation at the Mexican Cabo Wabo followed by Ms Britney Spears.
Britters may mime or as the Americans say lip sync - but what a show!! Visually amazing, fab staging and brilliant dancers...Brit actually sang a few slower songs, and do you know what she weren't bad!
Finished this blog at 23:55 on the eve of the big birthday but this hotel charge £10 a day for the privilege of Wi-Fi so not sure when this will arrive!!
