Regarding travel time from BC, it's about a 10 hour flight. Our body clock will be wacked out for sure because I thing Japan time is about 17 hours ahead of ours.
Cool that you are going to Vegas, I love going there...been there a few times. Actually you can get some terrific deals on hotels in Vegas, right on the strip. Vegas is one massive playground for adults  It is hard to take it all in at times...kind of like drinking water from a fire hose, if you know what I mean  |
I almost went with a friend 5 years ago but i was a very fussy eater and it put me off. Thankfully i eat most things now so it's ok. What a silly reason not to visit my dream destination...but i was VERY fussy.
Yeah i think it would be 17 hours. Vancouver is 8 hours behind the UK and Japan is 9 hours ahead of me...that'll really hit you hard!!! But, in my experience the tiredness is overcome by the excitment of seeing a new place...and usually just hits you once you return home.
Yeah it's great there, i went for my 21st and then again when i turned 23. Now i'm going again just before i turn 25. It's becoming a bit of a ritual. I don't gamble though as it happens...weird eh.
I was also looking forward to a good days shopping but the exchange rate is terrible now so i won't be saving as much money. Shame as the UK is so expensive. I've just bought 1 outfit last night (jacket, jeans, t-shirt, belt) and it cost me £240. Isn't it just Women's clothes which are meant to be a rip off??? It was only Superdry and G-star...
Anyway..sorry i go on and on because i'm at work, filling in my day.
By the way BC looks amazing, it's another 1 on my list. So much lovely scenery. I was actually contacting engineering ocmpanies in Calgary Alberta recently hoping i could try to emigrate there but it's kind of hard finding a job in another country!!!
