I’ve read a few blogs and often find that entries can be long winded, self indulgent and /or written by women who wish they were called Carrie and lived in New York. But there are many benefits to writing a blog; the main and most important one is being able to let those people who care about Martin and I keep up to date with our whereabouts. The second reason is wanting to bottle just a little bit of this once in a life time, 12 month holiday.

So I’ll attempt to refrain from rabbiting on too much and keep it punchy (postcard length) instead.

Vegas Baby: Wynn, win, lose



Vegas – the destination I’d been most looking forward to experiencing on our trip!

We booked to stay at Wynn – a super smart hotel and one of the best on the strip, it turns out.

We didn’t get off to the best start – little to our knowledge, the company Martin made our room reservation with had gone bankrupt and Wynn didn’t know us from Adam when we walked up to the plush check in desk.

Thankfully the hotel wasn’t fully booked so we checked into a suite on 33rd floor – complete with a bath tub that was the size of a swimming pool and electric, remote control operated blinds which could be opened and closed at the touch of a button.  Brilliant.


Highlights of Vegas
  • Putting $1 into a fruit machine and winning $12 (I'm not exactly a high roller) – I soon lost this however
  • Watching people of all walks of life huddled around poker tables at 8.30am, on our way to breakfast
  • Seeing 101 Elvis Presley’s swaggering down the streets
  • Being given VIP tickets to the hotel's nightclub and drinking copious amounts of free champagne
