The original purpose of Kathryn's trip to New York was to run the marathon last weekend. Though Hurricane Sandy devastated the city and surrounding areas making the logistics of the race more difficult. Then a healthy does of tabloid newspaper reporting and outspoken whining locals killed off the 2013 race, but not until the 30000 participants had already arrived in Manhattan. Anyway what else can you do but enjoy a holiday.

| I flew to Las Vegas on Tuesday to meet Kathryn and her parents John and Lois (yes how will I survive 10days with the in-laws!). Not being much of a gambler, Vegas never really held much appeal with me. However Sin City is a pretty interesting place. Bright lights, extravagant hotels with amazing displays, 24hr action and no one really looks out of place there. After two nights and 24hr binge-eating ($45 and eat at 6 restaurants) it was time to leave the Flamingo and head to the Grand Canyon via Hoover Dam. My favourite quote for the day from Lois-"is it possible to be drunk from eating too much food?" I didn't get to experience an authentic Vegas Hangover, so will save that for next time. |
