Well the day finally arrived and we headed to the Brisbane International airport, we had organised pre-paid parking. The signs to go to the valet area are a little vague though. Once in the airport the pre-check in is a slow process, we got issued the wrong tickets and had to get them changed. They …
June 2017 was going to see us celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. So we were heading to Las Vegas to do our anniversary at the Elvis Chapel. Rather than fly from Rockhampton to Brisbane we opted to drive and leave our car at the secure airport parking. Well we hit the road early and headed …

We were following the old 66 from Ludlow to Barstow, the road got so rough we we turned around just after we passed an …
Due to slow Internet connection this one’s a day late. This was our last day in Arizona and into California, once we left Kingman we had a short trip to Cool Springs. Cool Springs sits on one side of Sitgreaves Pass a 9 mile 14.5km action of twisty road to Oatman consisting of around 122 curves. …
We left Vegas today and headed south back to Arizona, on the way we stopped at Lake Mead – Hoover dam. Was really cool driving on top on the dam wall that’s featured in so many movies. After that it was onto Kingman for a visit to the Route 66 museum with a bite for …
Today was a sleep in and relax day, I had to go to Eagle Rider and get my bike gear linkage fixed. Also went to Gold and Silver Pawn Shop and Rick’S restorations for a look. Both are very popular tourist spots with the “stars” being elsewhere and other staff dealing with the throng of …
