Day 1

Was not so good for us, because my mom is a staff of XX company haha. so we can get tickets for just paying the taxes, but we are on stand-by lor. Woke up at 5.30am bathe and check everything first. Then chiong to the airport.. zoom.. waited and waited till 11am still no seat, sis has gone first already but there was 1 jump seat but end up the plane had 3 empty seat because someone wanted to change seats then mess up the whole thing. Pilot wanted to take my mom on but counter closed -_- Pilot are quite nice man.. but maybe because the just relax through the flight :P Jump seat?? you might ask what's that, there are 2 more seat in the back of the cockpit in the boeing airplane but only staff family members or someone related to the company can sit because they scare of terrorist. So after that.. there was 2 more jump seats on another plane so my father and I went onto the plane first. Now talking about my experience in the cockpit hehe... jealous huh :P :P It was interesting :) first time i could have a full view of the skies and the instruments in cockpit, there was a earpiece on each side so we could listen as the air traffic controller slowly lined up the plane for take up and landing. Experience cannot be described :D I only remembered we had some salmon for a starter then some triple chocolate cake for dessert.
Soon my brother also came, went to LA after 14-15hrs of flight! Forgot everything already haha don't think i want to travel long haul flights if i am sitting economy... very uncomfortable. My mom sat another flght but then will be 4-6hrs later then us to reach LA. We checked in at Knot's Berry Farm after a half an hour drive from the airport. Went to Ross and Wal-Mart. Bought Häagen-Dazs ice cream :D Rocky road flavour had mashmollow and chocolate bits i think, nice... Mom arrived at 9 or 10pm. Ate some instant noodles and cereal for dinner. Brought a LOT of instant porridge and noodle to america haha need to save some moeny liao hor.. i am not some millionaire :P

Day 2

Got onto the bus for the tour to Las Vegas. Had In and Out burger for lunch. Did some shopping here and there. Reached Las Vegas after 4hrs or so. Stayed in Riverina hotel in vegas i think. Went to Circus Circus hotel to play some games as it was opposite our hotel. Won a Bob the Builder guy lol haha. After that went to Macs for dinner. Then walked for some distance to look around without my parents.. -.- all went to gamble.. Walked to casino royale to see see look look and you know what i saw?! A small yellow building named casino royale -_- LOLs.

Day 3

Decided to go to the West Grand Canyon because if we go to the South Grand Canyon it wil take 6hrs or so and by the time we come back it will be half a day gone. And weather can be very unpredictable as the south one has a higher altitude. Almsot 6000m above sea level. $55 per person for the west canyon hor! But went to the hoover dam for some pics first before changing bus for the rough road ahead to the grand canyon. We decided to go for the heli and boat ride thing for $179 per person!!! Waste $895 altogether haizs.. what to do, already there lor. We missed the eagle rock because we wasted too much time on other things :'( After went back to hotel, went to Circus Circus to play for sometime then retire liao.

That's all for now.. stay tuned. Let me rest can? :P Will ask someone about posting the pics. Hold on everyone haha!
