Awesome time, utterly great. The people in the US were so friendly and polite, really not what we are led to think of them by the media.
Anyways, here are a few images from the trip.

The rental.... a 2011 Camaro convertible. Did 127 miles an hour very nicely through the long desert roads

View of the light and fountain show from the room in the Bellagio. Vegas must be done in style. It is unlike anywhere you will ever visit.

My hiking boots. They have been in many seas, nearly every ocean, in many of the worlds great rivers and still are going strong. It's become a habit that they must get submerged in important water ways.

Abandoned shed, French Quarter, New Orleans.
Whilst on the subject of New Orleans, Bourbon Street was just like a big version of Kings Cross (with better music). If you are going, try Frenchman St instead, better music, and less drunken twits.

St Pauls Chapel, New York. Literally across the road from the WTC. Awesome history to the place.

For the lady in your life (especially if you are on the trip with a mate, rather than her.....)

Hoover dam was awesome. Exceptionally big, and an engineers wet dream (or nightmare). You have to see the scale of the facility to belief it.

Times Square, about 01:00 on a Tuesday Morning. Incredible atmosphere, it honestly gave me a feeling of awe I have not felt since I was a child. It's like being in a giant pin ball machine.
Anyways, that'll do just now. The rest of the images can be found here
