The G&P June 2011 US/Mexico Road Trip
-
Thanks for lovely comments, chaps - we wish we had you ALL with us in the back of a HUGE limousine. We made it through Death Valley, and are now in Las Vegas, gotta put in a couple of hours on my laptop before we go to meet Doug and Jody and the wedding party! Don't expect I'll be doing much work later
Death Valley was fascinating and extremely hot. I think G took a few interesting snaps, have to admit mine are pretty boring, but here's a few for what it's worth.
About 9:30 this morning, on the road out of Lone Pine:

The obligatory sign:
One of the roads though Death Valley, G was bitching about the traffic at the time. Sorry, these photos go no way towards capturing the magnitude of the landscape and its bleak beauty:
Towards the end of the trip, first glimpse of the Vegas Strip about 20 miles away:
Back of the Monte Carlo Hotel where we are heading, now how the hell do we get in there? So close, but yet so far.
We made it. Yes, I wish we had more days and am so looking forward to the wedding tomorrow, but I know that once we leave on Sunday I will be looking forward to getting home (and then to start thinking about the next trip…but not for a few months!)

Man i have never met any of you in person but for some reason everyone on this forum feels kinda like family… it's so awesome being able to follow your trips and meetups and what not. Some gorgeous views and fun times for sure. Can't wait to see more

We miss you, too
After the wedding reception yesterday, not sure about our livers…
Has been a most wonderful trip, and the wedding was lovely - Doug and Jody both looked so beautiful and so happy
Just checked in to fly home tonight, still have the day to enjoy with the wedding party, we'll make the most of it!

Whilst sitting at the bar waiting to leave the hotel, I had the idea of taking "good look/bad look" photos. These, are of course, are very subjective (you'll have to decide for yourselves) and Mrs P was pretty sure I was using it as an excuse to take pics of the bar bitches butts…..(she was right)....

They are the bar bitches and that is indeed their uniform. I could write (and Mme B would agree) a 10,000 word dissertation on the minute diffreence between the bikini bottome….I did suggest to Mme B that my analysis would be a lot more rigorous if I was to examine the inside of the uniforms, she felt that was not necessary...
