Las Vegas with Colin& Wendy Tuesday 23 rd We all met up the day before the holiday, excited to be going to Las Vegas! We had dinner in a nice country pub before driving to a Motel near to Gatwick Airport and in the morning we did not have to rush to catch our flight to the U.S. Wednesday 24 th With the excellent in-flight service on Virgin, the 10 hour flight passed pretty quickly. On arrival we drove to the Hotel Flamingo, got checked in and unpacked in our lovely spacious rooms. Dinner that night was at the “Outback” restaurant where we had a huge choice of delicious food. As everyone was feeling the effects of jetlag we opted for a relaxing evening and a reasonably early night. Thursday 25 th Today we set off to have our breakfast at Denny’s restaurant before taking a walk through a couple of the amazing hotels. On our return to the Flamingo we decided to have a refreshing dip in the pool and then it was time to change and set off for an evening stroll down the“Strip”. ...

We all met up and had lunch and went on to our luxury lodges. After unpacking, we went off to Heybridge Basin and walked along the river bank and looked at the boats before having a very nice dinner at a local pub and as it was too early for bed, we decided on a game of ten pin bowling. The following morning we went to the zoo and spent a very nice day wandering around and looking at all the wonderful creatures. We even got to feed the elephants! After lunch we got on the land train and had a trip around the zoo. In the evening we went to another lovely country pub for our dinner before relaxing back at our lodges. After breakfast the next day, we went off to Marsh Farm and got to see all the farm animals and watched as the lambs were fed and the cows were milked. It was all very interesting. We even had a ride on a trailer pulled by the farmer’s tractor. We had a picnic lunch outside as the weather was so good. Horse grooming was something that we all took part in and we wat...

We all met at the airport and were extremely excited about the holiday ahead of us.   After a very relaxing flight, we arrived at the welcoming hotel and unpacked in our lovely spacious rooms. During our week we relaxed by the pool, ate ice-creams and sipped on lovely cold drinks!   The weather was absolutely scorching hot!   Some of us even learnt to swim with the help of Adrian, Phil, and some great big colourful floats!   A dip in the pool was needed often, and some of us chilled out under the big shady umbrellas.   We walked into the town on a few occasions which was just a stone’s throw away from our hotel, and did some shopping for gifts and souvenirs to take home.   There were lots of lovely things to choose from!   The people were extremely friendly and always happy to help.   We made friends with a very friendly man named Jonny, who ran activities with us such as water gym and water polo.   We had a wonderful time ...
