Hello Everyone BE WARNED this is a long blog so if you want to go straight to the pictures please do so (we would!)

THATS AMAZING !!!
I committed myself and actually read the entire thing ... which was no simple feat!! but its hard not to read when you a reporting items such as chopper rides over the canyon, seeing deer and chipmonks in yosmite park, rubbing shoulders with celebrities(ben stiller and will ferrell are two of my all time favorites) .. meeting cheerlaeders and being wrapped up in the "sex and gambling" of vegas. What an amazing two weeks...it makes america not sound so bad!! It great to see you living it up and cant wait to hear all about it when you return to OZ... stay safe and keep smiling Michael :)
