Hi Everyone, Sorry but I wrote the previous 2 blogs a while ago but only saved them and forgot to click on publish. That explains why you haven't seen any photos! Anyway back on track now. I have completed my first week of work which was hard but great. I really enjoyed it, it's very physical and by Friday I felt like I had run a marathon but it's very rewarding and the crew are all lovely. We have been digging a trail in a place called Heavenly near Lake Tahoe. This means moving big rocks, pulling up roots and evening [View Full Entry]

Tja... Pahrump ist leider immernoch schrecklich hässlich als wir am nächsten Morgen aufwachen... Also auf nach Sin City!! Um 3 dürfen wir endlich im LUXOR einchecken, da wir schon früher da waren mussten wir uns die Zeit im Las Vegas Outlet vertreiben (leider nicht so cool wie es sich angehört hat, sprich: NIX GEKAUFT!!). Ich entere erst mal den Pool während Christian aus den 2 Millionen Restaurants versucht eines raus zu suchen in dem wir stylisch dinieren können... Letztlich machen wir eine Reservierung im "CATHOUSE" im Luxor. Dann machen wir uns auf die Stadt zu erkunden und kaufen bei [View Full Entry]

The flight is booked. The condo is waiting. Now, what are we going to do for 8 days in Vegas? the websites are overflowing but half the fun is in the planning. Half price tickets? I could go for that. I wonder if they actually have tickets for any of the good shows? who am I kidding? they'll all be good shows. If they weren't good they'd never get to Vegas. The countdown is on. We arrive on the 30th of October which means we'll spend halloween there. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH stay tuned. [View Full Entry]

From Marja: Have spent the last three days exploring Vegas and the Grand Canyon. Vegas is like the Gold Coast on an acid trip. Over the top! And probably not a place for children. The Grand Canyon is awesome. We've taken hundreds of photos so far so will be uploading them onto flickr very soon. Marja's flickr site is http://flickr.com/photos/violettesaunty/ Shell's flickr site is http://www.flickr.com/photos/shells_pics/ From Shell: We managed to see the canyon in the rain, in the dry and at sunrise and it was spectacularly different every time. We both did fine driving on the r [View Full Entry]

This weekend one of my best friends from high school came to visit, which was super lovely! On Friday, after picking her up from the airport, we ate food and then promptly went to the pool. Later that evening we went into Vegas. I figured that there were at least a few things she should experience. So, we went to Bellagio, and she saw the r-diculousness that is that hotel, with its indoor gardens, etc. Then we watched the fountains. Beautiful, as before. However, this time, I wouldn't help but laugh at the irony of the songs they played. For the [View Full Entry]

While they've had internet at Burning Man previous years, this is the first year some BM staff can access wifi as well have dsl piped right into their trailer. I'm camping in the DPW (Dept of Public Works) Depot behind Black Rock City proper. My dear old friend, Dave, runs BRC's gas station as many of you already now. I've signed up to pump fuel the mornings I'm here. The gas station is operating on solar power and often produces an overload of energy that people camping in the Depot can use. So here I am, back in the Depot, on [View Full Entry]

Hello Everyone, I am here in Reno. I arrived on Wednesday but have had lots of problems with internet. I am now sat in the University of Nevada library. It's a really nice uni but I feel like I'm living in an American teen movie. Everything is living up to its stereotype. On Friday night there was a house party run by the Le Cross team. It's good fun though but I do keep laughing to myself when I hear certain words such as 'awesome' and 'far out'. Reno is a funny place but I quite like it. It's very small [View Full Entry]

The rest of my weekend was quite marvelous as well, although it was really Friday that made the whole weekend utterly spectacular. Saturday I slept in, as we were out late. When I awoke, it was to weather that made me question where I was. It was only in the low 80s, with 41% humidity, and dark rain clouds! Shocking. We decided we should take the opportunity to enjoy nature, and around 2pm all us interns went out to Red Rocks Canyon, which is on the other side of Vegas. It was quite a lovely day. The gift shop was pretty [View Full Entry]

Ok, so I am a twenty one year old guy from Reno, NV looking to get out there and see the world. Not only do i want to see the world, I want to take people with me. I hope to become a group travel planner, that would be such an amazing job! I found this site and was hoping that on here i would meet people who could share their adventures with me. Maybe a tip or two on good places to go, things to do, what interests people in thier line of travels. I cant wait to hear from [View Full Entry]

I don't even know how to begin to describe how amazing it was seeing LOVE. I guess I'll just start at the beginning and give it my best shot. Julia dropped Gloria and I off outside the Mirage a little after 5:30. We found the box office and picked up the tickets. They also gave us 2 tickets to the Revolution Lounge that included a drink special. Anywho, we had some time to kill so we wandered around Mirage for a bit. Spent some time watching people in the casino. AC, we stood by the craps tables for a bit. So [View Full Entry]
