Day 30
- Up at 6:30 in preparation for a helicopter ride over the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead & the gorgeous North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Lunch and a glass of Champagne to top it off.

-FYI a 1/2 yardy of Margarita = me drunk very quickly.
- Diner at a Mexican restaurant for our last group meal, had a yummy burrito that didn't fill me up enough.
- Went to the 'V' Variety Show with Comedy, Balancing, Impersonation & Drumming acts before heading to our stretch Hummer!
- Nightlife at the Moon Bar in the Palms Hotel after our cruise, stunning views over the city and some stunning people too.

Day 31 Monday June 21 Las Vegas to Los Angeles
- Our first sleep in in ages, thanks to a short driving day to LA. Said goodbye to Ashlee & Bonnie before getting on the bus for the last time.
- Had 'In & Out' Burger for lunch, only 5 options on the menu, and a queue out the door, but amazing strawberry milk shakes.
- Made it to LA City by 4pm, waited around at the Kyoto Grand Hotel for a couple of hours before being picked up. Said goodbye to all the Contiki folk.
- Arrived at the hotel in Anaheim around 8:30 in time to see a gorgeous fireworks display.

Day 32
- Yay for sleep-ins! We didn't get up until late morning and when we did we out on the box, did some laundry and lazed around.
- Went for a wander around the area and managed to find a small outdoor mall to spend some money and had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory - a huge Burrito and Cookie Dough Cheesecake to take back to the hotel fridge.

Day 33
- A nice and early start once again as we prepare for a day at Universal Studios.
- Met up with the Bowling Sisters and Belinda from Contiki. Started on the Simpson's simulator, then did the Back lot Tour. Convinced the girls to do Jurassic Park, then did the indoor roller coaster, 'The Mummy'.
