Farewell Las Vegas – What a Trip! Sadly, all good things must come to an end, and our time in Las Vegas had finally arrived at the checkout stage. Today, we’d be making our way home to Brisbane, flying from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, then on to Sydney before finally arriving back in Queensland. …
Las Vegas: More Sightseeing, Shopping and a Permanent Souvenir By this stage of our Las Vegas adventure, we were getting towards the end of the trip. We’d ridden Harley-Davidsons, explored the desert, renewed our wedding vows with Elvis and sampled plenty of food and beverages. Naturally, there was still time for a bit more sightseeing, …
Viva Las Vegas! Renewing Our Vows with The King The main reason for our trip to Las Vegas was a pretty special occasion — celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary by renewing our vows, Vegas style, at A Elvis Chapel. And if you’re going to renew your vows in Las Vegas, why settle for an ordinary …
Harley-Davidsons, Hoover Dam and a Cooler Escape to Mount Charleston Today was the day we’d been looking forward to — picking up our hired Harley-Davidsons from Las Vegas Harley-Davidson and hitting the open road.

Holbrook to Flagstaff – Cliff Dwellings and a Whopper for Breakfast! After spending the night in our rather unusual Wigwam Motel, we were keen to hit the road and make our way back towards Las Vegas. There was just one small obstacle to overcome first – finding breakfast! Holbrook wasn’t exactly overflowing with early-morning breakfast …
Grand Canyon, Route 66 Shopping Regrets and a Night in a Wigwam! Today was shaping up to be another big day on our American adventure.

Las Vegas to Oatman – 45°C, a Mustang and a Wild West Town! After catching up over breakfast, it was time to check out of New York-New York and hit the road. Our destination was Needles, California, with a little exploring along the way. We jumped into our Mustang, dropped the roof and headed out …
Las Vegas 2017 – We’ve Arrived, and We’re Absolutely Buggered! The big day had finally arrived! After all the planning, packing and counting down the days, it was time to head to Brisbane International Airport and begin our American adventure. We’d organised prepaid airport parking, which sounded simple enough. However, finding the valet parking area …
