Around the World in 34 Days

August 19th - it's a long one. We began in Wellington about 40 hours ago and still have an hours gambling in Vegas to do! I've left Louise and Jordana on the roulette wheel (where else) while I find net access - what else for me! To be honest, it has been a pretty horrible day so far - approx 12 hours waiting in airports, 12 hours on a plane with pretty crappy food and duff films, plus loads of turbulence over the Pacific. Once we got to Vegas, had a slight scare that my suitcase was lost, but it turned out we had checked in so early, it had got an earlier flight! If only we could have...
After a looooong queue to check into the Luxor, we showered and hit the buffet to stuff ourselves silly, then the casino to end our travels with a splurge. After the peace and quiet of New Zealand, noisy brash America is a bit of a culture shock, but then Vegas is a culture shock at the best of times. Jordana is happy it is hot here, although the forecast is for VERY hot tomorrow here (101 deg F - the Yanks don't do centigrade!) We predict a good nights sleep tonight as we have all only had a few hours since Wellington.
Thanks as always for your comment, and I realy will make Lou and Jordana post very soon!
