Here you can see they are building a new road for the trucks. Very high bridge, must be a great view.

On the way to Grand Canyon


Grand Canyon. What an awesome view. Windy and cold when we were there. Jacket and a warm sweater was a must.

I always wanted to be a pilot. Closest I will ever get. I felt like Tom Cruise from Top gun. ;)


Another aircraft carrier. I dont remember the name. Perhaps President Reagan?

The last day. Back to the airport and returning the rental car. Messy car. Two weeks later through California and this is what the car looked like.

Yosemite is a gorgeous place, I never saw that much green when I lived in California. I need to go back!

Looks like a lot of fun ... Las Vegas Strip is one of the gorgeous places on earth. I love those pix BTW. Thanks for sharing.

I do know my steak:icondrool
Ate there with Ramen the second time he came out.

So are you a gambler? :D
Lots of old people playing when I was there. I tried and won a few dollars but I lost them just as quick as I won.

Do you live in Las Vegas or somewhere around? I mean do you see the hotel Excalibur everyday? :)

I rairly gamble, tried roulette again this weekend and lost $42.
Yes I live in Las Vegas, about 25 miles from Excalibur. I don't see the hotel everyday, but for the most part I can see the strip from my house. Once you live here for a few months/years you kind of forget about the strip most of the time.
 
Re: My Roadtrip to USA, California 2008 -part 1-

JUSTME, nice pictures and looks like you had really fun.

I am also going to Vegas during may 24th with my family and I wanted to know if there are any good attraction there or anything I should go see! Thanks!

So if I go up in the Stratosphere again, I can see your house? :)

I like heights. Go up in the Stratosphere and you can see everything in Las Vegas. It's a great view.
