Leaving Las Vegas ...

Yesterday we left LV and made the 9 hour drive to San Francisco. Vegas is a crazy city full of extremes and surprises. Whatever you've heard about it is probably true, but not the whole truth. We stayed at the Luxor, a pyramid with around 2,400 bedrooms and elevators that go up diagonally inside. Our best view of the hotel was from the air as we took off for a helicopter flight to the Grand Canyon and a champagne picnic inside the canyon. One of the best experiences ever. This underscored the difference between LV, indeed the whole of the US, and other holiday destinations ... scale. Here's looking forward to a little more peace in San Francisco!
