So the time has come, Heather and me are going to the USA for a well deserved extended holiday.

So for the foreseeable future I won't be about, but I will try to check in with you all at some point. This "Holiday" may be 3 month, 5 months, 6 months or we may not bother to come back - we now have the relevant visas to allow us to stay a very long time..........

The company is in the safe hands of my most trusted of friends and an amazing artist!!

Blue Donkey the Prius is going on Tuesday, a truly amazing Donkey (hey its not a real car is it?), never once let me down, utterly brilliant on fuel just ugly and SLOW, Mustang GT has been ordered and is probably waiting for me at the car hire desk, but knowing my luck some mopar junk with a silly hemi V8 will be substituted at the last minuet.

Now all I need is a sneak preview of the Witches purple Supra and all will be ready to go!!!


Friday 8th July we fly to Phoenix AZ for 10 days,then Las Vegas for 2 weeks, then LA for a month, down to Dallas for a month, across to Florida for a month and up to North Carolina to see friends for a month or 2 - then we see what else we want to do/see.

Good luck, much love you are a great bunch of miscreants it is an excellent club and I will miss you all - I will especially miss the Europe trips and the meets etc.

Thanks guys and girls....

The plan we have is so complex, we are going day to day at the moment, its the only way to stay sane!!!! Last day of work today, so thats a huge amount of stress removed.

Really looking forward to tonight, and having a few :drink: with friends.
Saw the in-laws last night that was "interesting" to say the least.

Dino when I get there this "post" to overseas rubbish will be a thing of the past to friends so don't loose hope.

I have been to several of the cities you mention. Vegas is not the nicest of places really, but the pure sceptical of it all is mind boggling, and has to be seen to be believed. I do love it when you are chatting to an American, and they assume our country is so small that you know everyone, and say things like, "Oh, ure from Ingland? You must know my cousin John, he lives in Londan."

Have a great time over there, I wish I was able to some day do similar.

Vegas is our "tourist" bit of the trip - however it is a tax free state, no personal or corporate taxes, just $25 per employee per quarter!!! I believe the casinos pay the tax that runs the state.

Yeah, that sounds familiar, certainly something like that. It really has to be seen to be believed. Hotels for $10 a night, all you can eat buffets for $1, but guess what? To get to the hotel or buffet, you have to walk through the middle of a casino! Some of the insides of these places (e.g. Venitian) are just increadable to behold. It's all tacky as hell, but an experience not to be missed.
