The Flight Back
Well, this is it — the end of our holiday. Mercifully the return flight was a lot less painful than the flight out there. Having the shorter trip first made a big difference I think; after 10 hours on a plane the last thing you want to do is step right onto another one, but it doesn’t seem as bad [...]
The Grand Canyon
Probably the most depressing part of the Holiday was seeing how even the native tribe fo the hala-whatever-tutu are abuing the Grand Canyon. We went to the SkyWalk, which I have to say was a huge disappointment. I had infinitely more fun larking about on the rocks and near the edge of the canyon [...]
The Wedding
The big day; the reason for our trip in the first place. The “Little chaple of the West” certainly was little. The ceremony lasted a marathon 5 minutes 50 seconds, give or take, and the certificate of marriage came complete with an annulment form I understand 🙂
Arcade Heaven
We went to SEGA GameWorks; 5 hours playing in the Arcade for $15 — Absolute bargain. Right next door to which is, of all, things, M&M’s World!

Blue Man Group
Our first proper day in Vegas; we walked down the strip stopping off at various places along the way; we took a trip up the Eiffel Tower in Paris to get a view of the Strip.
We went to see the Blue Man Group in the evening; the tickets were pretty pricey, but the show was well worth it in the end. [...]
Viva Las Vegas!
Up at the crack of dawn to head to the airport. God knows how many hours in the air/waiting at airports, but I finally made it to Vegas (via Dallas — my God that’s one huge airport). We’ve done little else other than travel all day!
