The Trip to the Desert

June 1, 2020 by Dave10 Comments

After visiting the original Ballarat in Australia about 90 minutes outside of Melbourne earlier this year, I got the urge to visit it's tiny relative in the Mojave Desert, California.

Best Casino Resort in Las Vegas

February 12, 2020 by DaveLeave a Comment

My first trip to Vegas was a road trip with two friends. This trip did not start out very smoothly - after pulling out of my driveway I stopped for gas and one of my friends noticed one of the tires was nearly flat.

However it lost air pressure fairly quickly and every two hours or so we had to stop to pump up the tire. … [Read more...]

Arrived in Cuzco - exited the airport with just enough time … [Read more...]
