From CA to NV

Hello, it's Andy special guest appearance (like the Conan O'Brien show) and all that. Tom and Katherine (henceforth TK) arrived at LA airport before I did at 9am. Finally touched down there myself at about 2pm, though due to my dodgy nature and suspicious immigration officials didn't get out till about 4pm. Hired a car and then left LA pretty soon and overnighted in some small town called Barstow in some motel or other.

In Las Vegas the day after, staying in some hotel/casino called El Cortez, full of old aged gamblers and the like. Lots of casinos, by the time we left on Monday morning, Tom was down $5 and I was down ... more.

From Las Vegas, to the Grand Canyon. Lots of impressive rock formations and all that. A lot of squirrels too and elk on roads (almost disasterous) and coyotes. Now in Tuba City, staying in a school. Bizarrely half the town uses daylight saving time and the other doesn't. More later...

BTW our car is a blue Hyundai Accent.
