Vegas Bound

Well, ended up on the train to el paso with the girls from the san antonio hostel which was fun - spent ages talking to this bloke who claimed to have worked in the military, the government, security and sony! bit of a crazy really but we had long conversations about getting shot in Roswell because he got too close to area 51!

Got to El Paso for the night and ate on the border in this little cheesy mexican place called The Tap - authentic mexican again! and a pitcher of bud for $5. The mexican pretty much blew sarahs head off and she ended up just eating refried beans and rice! i managed it though and was very proud! we actually went with a french canadian woman called caroline (everyone seems to be called caroline!) early night though cos of the bus at 6 the next morning.

So off to Roswell we went - quaint little town with street lamps with aliens faces on them! Stayed in a motel 6 because there was no hostel - bliss again - and we went to our first walmart - just like asda!

Then Albuquerque in a really really old hostel was good though - a double room worked out cheaper than the dorm and the old town was reallly pretty - got an authentic native american ring - really pretty - had to stop myself buying more! but i did - im being a good girl!

Been ill last couple of days which is hell away from home - actually managed to get 12 hours sleep saturday night!

Was well enough yesterday to go out though and there is nothing like Vegas! We had a free barbeque and keg party at the hostel and every ones really up for a laugh - but wouldnt expect less from a vegas hostel! Ended up playing the bar maid as per usual and chatting to all and sundry!

Then went out to the strip - the monte carlo and new york new york - loads and loads of walking though my feet are killing me as well as my head.

Freemont Experience tonight and more of the strip to be followed by three days of welcome relaxation in LA while sarahs at work - bring it on!!!!

The guy sounds just too wacky.. Watch out what your eatin, you never know in these 3rd world countries...
Sounds like the Aliens have been leaving photos of their lost ones. Do the right thing and keep an eye out for them along your travels. If you see any tell them to phone home.
Whats the ring a symbol for (i'll refrain from suggestions). Must be tough not getting your normal 12 hours in bed time. Your Mum will want to know all about what Vegas was like (bring back old memories for her).
Be bloody careful in LA !
Love you,
Dad

great to hear from you i was beginning to worry as it felt like such a long time since i'd read anything. jackie's trip went very well relaxed no stress and no dog for jackie to chase round after. we had a great night out in Liverpool on the friday ended up dancing in Flares there was a stag night all dressed in kilts and black wigs! Jackie was a little drunk and chased one of the lads round pulling his kilt up and smacking him on the bottom. She was in Liverpool sunday morning and spotted the same stag party getting wet in the new water fountain. they certainly made the most of the costume hire!! Am missing our chats not much female company here. well I'll say goodbye for now. love you xx

Hey!!!

Hate you for all your travelling mayhem! Not much to report from since i emailed you when I was at the stags that drunken Saturday. Just been checking out Manchester's course, and getting dead excited - YAY!!!

Still not found a house in Mancland, starting to get a bit panicky, but I'm sure it'll all come trumps up in the end.

Give my love to Sarah, and the gang you seem to be accruing!!

Big Love and kisses xxxx

Darling was so sorry I missed you tonight I've been so looking forward to a chat. Your Dad is away tonight so I took Josh to his football, I was collecting him when you rang. Sorry to hear you haven't been well not very nice when your away from home. Instead of watching my programs tonight I've been doing a dreaded yearly review you know me I just want a tick in box that I've done my job all year not having to give examples and justify myself! Your Granny and Grandad are coming to stay on thrusday - thursday! for a funeral of Grandads cousin Tommy thankfully they are coming on the train dont think I'd trust him to drive that distance! Well I'll say goodbye now and await your next update and call can't wait. Love you. Mum xx
