Vegas: Things I Forgot

Ok so in my last post about Las Vegas I forgot to include two of the awesome things we did.

Awesome thing #1: Stratosphere
   The Stratosphere had one of the most spectacular views of the Strip and of the Las Vegas Valley.  It was not even that windy the day that we went up. This is also the location of one of the world's highest amusement parks! (Of which I did not partake)

Awesome thing #2: The Venetian
    Going into the Venetian was seriously like walking into Venice (and I would know since I've been to Venice twice).  It was all indoors and lighting controlled so when you walked from one room to another it could go fro day to night.  The decor was also spectacular.

The "Grand Canal"
All in all my trip to Vegas was wonderful and will never be forgotten.  We had a a great time exploring the strip and spending time at the pool. I hope to repeat it soon.

Happy Travels!

You Only Turn 21 Once

So as many of you know I went to Vegas for my birthday. Let me just say it was fantastic and I would most definitely go back to do it again. I was fortunate enough to be able to stay with my friend's mom who happened to have a pool. Needless to say I spent a lot of time by the pool. Here are a few highlight photos of the first day.
Here is the New York, NY Casino and Resort.  The inside was alright, nothing spectacualr but the roller coaster ride was FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC!!!!  Can you tell I loved the coaster?

It's a sleepy Kitty at MGM
And last but certainly not least..............
No words can describe how awesome it was to go to the Pawn Shop. The guys were not there but it was still pretty sweet.

Happy Travels!!

September Update

I cannot believe that we are well on our way to the middle of September.  Can you?  I just wanted to give everyone a quick update on what's going on up here in the north-eastern part of Canada before I write a full length post.  So here are the highlights:
  • Vegas was awesome and I had a fantastic birthday
  • I made it safely to Nova Scotia
  • Classes start on Monday
  • My room looks like a tornado went off in it
I think that's all the highlights and important things from the last couple of weeks.  I am currently working on writing about my trip to Vegas and one on the last couple of days here in Nova Scotia.  That's what everyone has to look forward to.

Happy Travels!!

I'm off.... again!


The time has come my friends to start a new adventure.  After another full week of work I will be boarding a plan off to Las Vegas to celebrate my 21st birthday with my best friend.  Follwing a three day whirlwind of fun I will be heading home.

Upon coming home I will work for three days, Friday thru Sunday, and on Monday morning at 6:05am I will board another plane.  This time I will be off to the Great White North or Canada as I like to call it.  I have a fairly easy flight schedule but it will take just over 14 hours to get there.  Along the way I will be stopping in to see the magnificent airports of Vancouver and Toronto before I finally land in Sydney at 1:01am. Also in case you all have forgotten where Sydney is I have included a map.  The red star is where I am from on the west coast and the blue star is where I am going on the east coast.
Clearly from my busy schedule the next couple of weeks will be busy ones and by the time I get to school I will probably be in need of sleep.  Well.... I'm off so wish me luck on my next adventure.

Happy Travels!!
