2 great weeks

On the 24th of July I flew into Las Vegas and met up with Emilio at the airport!!!  When then caught a shuttle bus to our hotel which was downtown L.V near the old strip which was interesting and we preferred it better to the strip! We stayed about 100 meters away from the Freemont experience (the old strip) which was about 300 meters of casinos door to door with a dome roof that at night lit up and had live T.V's. there was music on all night and many things to do and watch! The weather in Vegas was crazy! it was still 35c at 930 at night and the air was really hot and there was no breeze... we were very lucky to be close to the bus line that took us to the strip and was only a 20 minute drive... vegas was very much casino, casino, casino and once you had seen one casino you pretty much had seen them all.. although we spent alot of time trying to visit every casino (which didn't happen) and every casino we went into we would put a $1 bet on and as soon as we double or more we cashed out!!!! yes big spenders :) also whilst on the strip we went to the Wax museum which was one of my highlights in Vegas.. well worth the money!. they had a part called scream and it was one of the scariest/ best things i have done.. also going on the newyork newyork rollercoaster.. by myself :) after being able to drink on the streets and gambling all our money we got on a bus and headed for L.A.

Los Angeles
After four fun filled nights we got to downtown L.A and it was noting like we expected!!! it was very dirty and there was a numerous amount of homeless people.. our hotels was more like a hostel but thats what you get for going cheap and not looking into the area a bit more!!! due to the location there was not much we could do at night so we spent the nights in and the days our.. we pent 2 days in Hollywood where we met up with some friends from the training school, walked the walk of Fame, got a tattoo... just me... went on a star home and Hollywood sign tour.. half price for being australian although Emilio Lopez just looked and said nothing.. his attempt to be Australian was "cheers mate" hehehe did a good job...we also spent a day in Santa Monica were we walked the same pier that Hannah Montana ran down to not be late for Lilly's birthday (only some people would know).. we had a good time in LA but we were glad to get out of there..

Seattle
Seattle was so much fun.. we had a such a great time and it was good to be in a house... we stayed with emilio's host mums parents and they had a guest house we stayed in which was really nice.. we met up with another australian girl Jessica Canning who we also went to the training school with and enjoyed a day in seattle.. we went to the top of the columbia building 73 stories high and also went and seen some very popular tourist things in the city, the gum wall, first starbucks and the fisher market were they throw the fish.. we also spent a day in a little town called Poulsbo which was nice and very different from the big city and loads of people.. after spending a few days in seattle we caught a bus down to Battle Ground (emilios house) and spent the last 5 days there relaxing and having a car..

Battle Ground
We didnt do too much exciting things just relaxing going to the movies and playing basketball, we also went to the Clark County fair which was fun and interesting.. alot of farm animals and jousting competitions was definitely different to what I am use to.. the best thing was Emilio won me a stuffed doggy just like on the movies.. we went out on the saturday night dancing which was fun and much needed..

over all it was the best 2 weeks ever and am looking forward to doing it all again and for a month in February... much love to all and thanks to Emilio for the best 2 weeks ever xx
