Birthday girl in Las Vegas

Tuesday the 9th of February was my birthday. That day we drove through Death Valley to Las Vegas. When we loaded our luggage I noticed that our tour guide had festooned the van for my birthday, including balloons and candy! Before leaving they sang happy birthday to me. That was so sweet!

Death Valley was just stunning and Las Vegas was, well… something different. Lights, signs, billboards, hotels and casino’s everywhere!

After dinner I experienced a limo ride. Before startoing of my tour mates gave me a birthday card and sang happy birthday one more time. I felt so overwhelmed cause I didn’t expect it and I’m hardly the center of attention. The card is a nice memory of this day.

Bit back to the limo…actually it was more of a hummer. There were flashy lights, tv screens, and a pole inside. Unfortunately there wasn’t enough space to show some tricks…

The ride was fun but not what I expected. I would have loved to see Britney Spears perform at Planet Hollywood to celebrate my birthday but she was having a break…

Bday/Goodbye party

Last weekend I celebrated my birthday with my friends. I haven’t turned 33 yet since my birthday is next week, but I’m not at home then because of this great journey I have planned! So it was nice to see them all before I leave town. I got some useful presents for my journey such as locks, a journal and a first aid kit. But me time can’t be missing so I got two magazines…food for thought! Gonna miss my friends and the conversations we have…

I’m almost packed now and it was such a challenge. I’m traveling with a ‘trolley’ for the first time ever but I think I managed to pack all the basic stuff and left some space for extras, now and later. I’m lucky that my clothes are small and don’t take up too much space!

The countdown has begun now.
