Las Vegas, Nevada

Las Vegas is fun, in small doses. I'm staying in Henderson again, trying a different hotel. Comfort Inn had an offer on. Just £40 for a suite and full breakfast. Can't be bad.

A nice pool which I always had to myself.

I did venture onto the Strip this time. It was chaotic, lots of new building going on. A big casino next to Ballys was being dismantled brick by brick.

Parking at the Paris was not easy without Diane's handy little notebook. Finally got there.

It's incredibly hot. When I left at 9.15 pm it was still 99 degrees in old money.

It's hard to get a photograph with no one in it!

Inside Caesars.

The Fountains of Bellagio are always on the list.

This time they were dancing to Shania Twain.

Next morning I weighed the suitcases and I was a couple of kg under. Time to visit Quiltique again!

I took my finished quilt top to show them. It has 1296 pieces in it.

Andrea had finished the one she was working on too.

It was nice to see them all again but now it's time to go home. Sad farewells to Dora who has been brilliant for each of the almost 2000 miles we have driven. There were a lot of U turns and I will not miss the 'right lane must turn right' sign but otherwise no problems at all.

Until next year!

Diet starts tomorrow.
