    Day 2 - off to the wilderness

    June 29, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 35 °C

    So the trip improved with some time by the pool yesterday , a nice sushi meal and seeing cirque de soleil -O. Definitely the most amazing show I have ever seen. Hard to describe but it is the largest swimming pool in the US and it seems to appear and disappear as the performers do amazing dances dives etc. You can’t take photos apart from the very end. Then last night in a bed last night / off to the airport for our little charter plane to the canyon. Ativan at the ready !!Read more

  • Vegas -day minus one

    June 29, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 34 °C

    Recovering from a rough start to the trip last night. Thunderstorms in Dulles meant we left 2:30 late so arrived in Vegas at 11pm local time. Then unusually toby left his bag on the plane so we had another45 min delay while we sorted they out. Needless to say we crashed hard when we finally got to the hotel at midnight local time (3am east coast time). Today has been easy / swimming at the pool- and sushi later followed by seeing O by cirque de soleil. Then off to the wilderness tomorrow 🤣Read more

  • Made it to marble canyon ranch

    June 30, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    So we survived the bumpy little flight here and realised we have another night in a bed in a lodge here before we head into the canyon. So I have some cell reception. Met the rest of our 19 person group. They seem really fun and we already have a tab at the bar at the lodge.Read more
