Countries to avoid when traveling

At one time, not to long ago, we had India on our list of must visit countries. That was before the recents attacks on women there, including a recent incident involving a Swiss tourist and her husband. It’s to bad but we’re just not interested in visiting a country that has serious rape issues,

Las Vegas Photo Gallery

Finally getting some time to go over my photos from our trip to Las Vegas in January and post some of them to my Flickr account. Most of the photos I took are from our walks along the strip and were shot either with a Fuji X100 or my iPhone 5. Still need to

Las Vegas Street Performers

We saw these guys when we went out for a walk last week in Las Vegas. We had no idea at the time but the guy with red hair was on America’s Got Talent in 2012. His name is Turf and he’s a contortionist/street dancer. There were a lot of performers along the strip

Area 51

So this is our last day in Vegas. Check out time is 11:00 but our flight to Toronto is tonight. So rather than check our bags and wonder around all day we decided to rent a car and head to Area 51. If we’re never heard from again we were abducted.

Vegas Deals

Looking for deals today. We heard lots of good things about the Premium Outlet malls so we’re heading north by bus and will cab it back to the Hard Rock. Had a blast last night! The Viva Las Vegas Baby! app has been great.

Las Vegas Part II

We spent about seven hours walking up and down the strip. Paid a visit to Caesars Palace, The Luxor, the Flamingo, New York New York, Aria, and Crystals. Had a great lunch at the Rainforest Cafe inside the MGM Grand and for supper we gave the Pink Taco a try. The food here so

MGM Grand

Las Vegas is amazing. Right over the top like we hoped it would be. So is the shopping.
