It's 2028 Pacific US time

Kylie is in full swing on the inflight, and we are fast approaching atop VLI (port Vila)...1803km from BNE at 31k ft

Lunch, well better than a crew meal, pudding was yum!

Time to find the PE bar!!

VPE, our little hiding place for the next 13 hours!

Go time

Kylie...again!

Well this spot might be a good one for us to be for the next 2 hours!!

Hurry up KM!!

Intoducing Clyde

Today we welcomed Clyde into our lil family unit. Clyde is a New York City Boy and he will be popping up from time to time.
As a housewarming gift, our good friend Princess Kylie decided to put a little song and dance on at a shed up the road.
Clyde is going bananas with excitement, which is a good thing as he is missing Aunty Cheryl and Uncle Cam.

Home safe!

Good Morning World

Thank you Qantas for taking good care of us. Never ever ever ever thought I would say that considering who we work for. Slept like a baby, partly due to a nice tablet! Can't forget the Premium Economy seats which became our home for the past 15 hours!

Thank you Vegas!

It has been a fun filled 9 days, but looking forward to being in our own surroundings, not looking forward to the washing!!

It must be said, we have no reason not to fly QF or AA again. What a lovely experience so far. However we do have one BIG flight remaining. We had different bookings, an AA one and the QF one, the lovely lady at AA checkin (american airlines) merged our bookings and checked us all the way through to BNE. Nice to be treated like a proper passenger and not some sort of standby scum.
In 18 hours this all may change, but I am doubting it.

Boarding our MD80 now.. Yay! Havent been on one of these before .

Packing is sooo over rated!!

Mission complete, it only took 3 hours. A wee bit of a hangover may also have something to do with why it took so long. Ryan's packing technique is ummm well let's say "creative".

Time to rehydrate before the 14hr jumbo trip home... One thing on our minds.....VEGETABLES! Until then...we are off to Denny's! Oh and have to take a video of the hotel and nose bleed elevator ride.

Last night in Vegas

Well here we are... 52 floors up, about to that the Batlift to ground.. Such an ear popping nose bleed distance downward.

The wind has swung around to a northerly and the view is now somewhat "exciting". Ryan is getting ignored...not on purpose, but when you have a view of McCarran International, and aircraft quizzing past during takeoff, at eye level when they get to us, it really is a major distraction.
Don't worry Dad I will video it during daylight hours before leaving tomorrow. On average there seems to be all sorts of aircraft moving past 3 or 4 every minute.

Phantom was just brilliant. The entire theatre was renovated to depict the Paris Opera House, even the ceiling. Totally awesome!!

Time for that lift ride to the mad street below x

Shopping complete

Had to Ryan to bed for an hour as he is literally shopped out. We had to buy another bag to put the new things in, our luggage allowance might be a weee bit tight!

Might need a nanna nap myself soon as we are off to Phantom this evening. Cant wait!

Large drink...

Or little head?

LV clearance outlets...

Holy Phark! We came here last time and spent $.... Not saying the exact amount, this time we have kept the wallet in the pocket and completed a reconnaissance lap first. So now 2 hours into it. Time to try things on and spend some $$.. Conscience call... We have worked hard and rarely go shopping. Right that feels better saying that. The choices are difficult...We don't often buy "labels" but when they are dirt cheap why not!! Does Ryan go for the sexy Oakley sunnies or the Ray Ban ones which we have nick named the "Beibers". By the way JB is big here, and we love him. Anyhoo... Then there are the $25 Calvin Klein jeans... And we can't forget shoes!

Tracey - wait until you see what we have found for Caitlin, out of this world shoes!

Well lunch finished... A foot high bagel Yum! Off to spend a little x

Balls of Steel?

Wasnt our balls we were thinking about today. We have just been on the worlds tallest thrill ride perched atop the Stratosphere, that was after going in the other two rises up there...1100ft above sea level. Beyond words right now!

Sunset over the desert!

If you look closely you can see the shadow of the Stratosphere tower...

A view from the top...

Keeping lunch down???

Stratosphere here we come. White knuckle rides, a long way up!
Hope We don't see our Denny's lunch twice!

Had fun shopping at Houdini's... More magic tricks for the kids at work!

So it's 0230...

Home now with a few vodkas under the belt. We put our life savings into a pokie.....well three bucks of it....last of the big spenders. With all the winning, Losing, Losing, winning, losing and losing it took all of 7 minutes to finally lose it. Somehow all of the bells, whistles, flashing lights made it entertaining and worth while.

Midnight in the desert

Ok so I am sitting here 52 floors above the madness, it's midnight and there is a traffic jam...only in Vegas. Maybe Kim Kardashian is in town stopping traffic, hang on nope that was last night by all accounts - visiting a frikkin lollipop shop on the strip.

Treated ourselves today and splashed out on tickets to Phantom Of The Opera on Monday evening.

I would say goodnight now, but this is Vegas baby, time to venture into the madness below!
