Homer's Odssey

So here I am, live in Vegas from the 60th and top floor of the Wynn. Can't upload piccies so I'll do that when I get back. Yesterday was just such a long journey it's unreal, Craig and I got up at 5.30am and eventually managed to throw a six to start, that allowed us to use London's crazy underground system.

We flew from Gatwick to Dallas passing over Greenland and Canada, so got this mad amalgamation of arctic tundra, mountains, forests, plains and deserts over a period of several hours. Sat around at Dallas airport for a few hours but not before Craig and I made a bet that whoever's suitcase came out on the carousel second would have to buy the first round of drinks in Vegas, I won mwahahaha. We finally got our connecting flight at got into Vegas at around 4am London time without much sleep on either flight and after I won another bet on the collecting of suitcases, (first shower at the hotel) we head over to the taxi rack. The heat really strikes you straight away as soon as you leave the building, it's very warm, even til late in the evening.

We got a taxi in next to time, except except it seemed that the only cards left in his deck were the two jokers and the points scoring system for bridge, he told us he'd been to see the Rolling Stones 94 times but then proceeded to tell us a thousand different conspiracy stories as I uncomfortably fiddled around with my passport and Craig was nodding, bemused.

Anyway, when we got to the Wynn both of us were too knackered to go out after the 24 hour trip, but we managed to getup for the Brazil/Ghana game this morning, 3-0 a bit hash on Ghana I thought. Anyway going to go find somewhere to get some breakfast.
