We’re back home in Perth now.

Wow, what a fantastic holiday!

America was everything I thought it would be and more.

My standout highlights were:

• Helicopter ride through the Grand Canyon
• Yosemite National Park
• Colorado Rockies
• Driving from LA to Las Vegas
• Seeing the famous landmarks such as: Hollywood sign, Golden Gate bridge, Las Vegas “strip”, Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bridge and 9/11 ground zero.

It was also great catching up with some old friends. Zelle in Sacramento and Mike in Denver. This was an unexpected bonus. We were so lucky to have such good friends. Both families invited us into their homes and toured us around their part of America. Thank you so much to Zelle and Dave and Mike and Lara.

We’re definitely going back sometime. There’s still plenty of things to see:

• Yellowstone National Park
• Monument Valley
• Skiing in the Rockies
• Things I haven’t thought of yet
