Well I'm still single but not by much! :o LOL

Vegas was everything I thought it would be and more, it really is a 24x7 party. The scale of everything is just out of this world, the money that is spent and lost there is crazy! I watched one guy feed $6,000 in $100's into a slot machine loose it all and then sit down and play another. We watched another loose 60K on one hand of blackjack and he didn't even look pissed! Every luxury you could ever want was available just pick up the phone and it's yours. Private Jet to LA $5200, Ferrari for the day $1100, Want your own table and dealer in a private room $50k minimum play. The MGM lived up to the billing our suite was huge everything was of the highest quality the food was amazing!

The best part of the trip was the Grand Canyon though, after being up for 17hrs flying aross the country and then driving 200miles we got out of the car walked out to Mather point and stood there in awe for 10mins before we said a word. Pictures don’t do it justice it has to be seen!!

Here are a few pictures, I have to get back to work. B)

Nice!

I'm still in NV till tomorrow morning. Then I get home at 8PM EST... :puke:

Can't wait to come home. It's nice here, but the GHETTO CARS... it's nuts. Nothing rusts, so there are piles of 78-87 Monte Carlos, more 84 Mustangs and Camaros than you can shake a stick at... and they're all busted up.

Some redneck cut me off in a perfect replica of Uncle Jesse's pickup from Dukes of Hazzard, and I don't mean the movie, either.

Still, it's gorgeous down here. I'll have to bring Sara one day for sure.

Andrew it really has to be seen to be believed my pictures really don't do it justice! We are already talking about going back next spring to do the north side of the Canyon. We were told that only 1 in 600,000 people who visit the canyon go to the north side but the views are supposed to be even better!

Raine & Fociphil: No problem glad you like them!

Anthony: Things are working out better than I could have ever dreamed! After spending 6 days together flying across the country and driving 600miles we still never argued or got on each others nerves.

Here are a few more pictures. :)

The north edge is supposed to be super nice... and they even have accessible mountainbike trails. It's because the north rim is a National Forest, not a National Park.. different rules.

I'd love to do a mtb trib up there, supposed to be something else, with lots of campsites right on the rim.
