From June 1st 2002 to June 7th 2002, Clare and I went with relatives to the good old US of A.
We've been twice before, and been through 14 states so far - camping / hiking / seeing the sites etc. Superb Place.

This trip though was a birthday treat for Clare's mum and her sister-in-law's mum. We took them to Las Vegas in Nevada - and if any of you have bee there before, you'll know it's not a place associated with Hiking.

However, we cramed much into the few days... starting with a minor emergency on the plane - in which a passenger collapsed and following calls from the crew for anyone with medical knowledge, Clare (being a nurse) had to go and do the hero bit. I was SO proud of her for doing it - and the bloke involved should be too.

The captain on the other hand was a complete TWAT! - and I emphasise that here deliberately.

McCarran Airport is a good destination - Virgin Airlines were good and fly direct from Gatwick (about 10 hours flight there) - over Iceland/Greenland etc so you can get some good views if sat near the window).

So - piccies and stuff here about the following:

Bryce Canyon National Park - Utah

Zion Canyon National Park - Utah

Hire a Machine Gun - Las Vegas
