Road trip

I love a Thelma-and-Louise-style road trip (preferably without the murder, robbery and suicide - they don't go so well with my driving outfit). Today B and I fly to Los Angeles to begin our two-week driving adventure of the old wild west.

I have decided to take on both roles of Thelma and Louise and B will be that hot cowboy that comes in about half way through.

I'll try to upload a few pics on the way! But here's a sneak peak of what's in store...

Stop 1: Los Angeles

The city of dreams with dirty knickers. I've been to LA twelve gazillion times (mostly for work) but B has never been... so it's back to Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Universal Studios, Disneyland, Venice Beach, etc, and some sun sun SUN.

Stop 2: Las Vegas

Please let me not get married by Tuesday Elvis! I've always wanted to roll the dice in a fancy dress at a Vegas casino or put all my chips on the roulette wheel. Bring on the tacky trash and hangover.

Stop 3: Utah

Recovery from Vegas. Long roads, beautiful mountains, and please no bears (my biggest fear).

Stop 4: Colorado

Where my step-dad is from; a place to rest and clink champagne glasses for B's birthday inside a Telluride mountain lodge. I can already smell the fresh air.

Stop 5: The Grand Canyon

A US classic and not to be missed or one of my American friends might slap me.

Notable mentions: Monument Valley and The Painted Desert

Historic homes to Native American history (a culture I've long been fascinated with) and the playing fields of old wild western movies. A truly special place I'm told.

Have a fantastic two weeks; I'll try to not neglect my blog. But if I do - it only means I'm having far too much fun. Or I have been eaten by a bear. Or I am hiding in shame after getting married in Vegas.
