We flew from San Antonio to Last Vegas at lunch time and picked up our new car from Hertz; a little red Nissan that Paul hates because its so slow! We found our way to the hotel and went out in search for some Cirque du Soleil – Ka tickets. We got some tickets at… Continue reading Viva Las Vegas

A walk along the river in San Antonio, TX
This morning we went for another horse ride around the Mayan ranch in Bandera. The ride took us on a winding path up into the hills around the ranch. The path was really narrow in parts, with trees either side, and at one point Aimi’s horse decided to take her through a tree rather than… Continue reading A walk along the river in San Antonio, TX
Quick Stop in Houston and onto the Ranch
After a long drive yesterday, we stopped off for the evening at Days Inn Hotel, Houston Airport. The room only cost us £40 but was huge, had a kitchen and came with free wifi and breakfast, that’s what I call a bargain! We were quite sleepy so settled for a Domino’s Pizza (no way near… Continue reading Quick Stop in Houston and onto the Ranch

The weather was awful at the beginning, the rain was so heavy and the sky so black I was looking around to see if any tornado’s were heading… Continue reading Let the Driving Begin…

On the Move Again
I cannot believe we have been here 3 days already, I’m still a bit jet lagged and waking up about 4am (9am UK time which is about right for me)! Anyways, time to leave what has been home for the last few days and onwards with the adventure, well a short taxi ride down the… Continue reading On the Move Again
Hello America!
We arrived in Orlando yesterday evening and went straight to bed of course 🙂 So this morning we were up bright and early for breakfast at Denny’s, a diner that sells sausages and bacon with syrup on top. Don’t worry we did not eat this but it was fascinating to see. We then took a… Continue reading Hello America!
