Some of the rides at Disneyland are so popular that the regular queue can have a waiting time of up to 100 minutes. Waiting in long lines means you have less time to spend on other activities that you may want to see. So make sure you take advantage of Disney’s FASTPASS to cut down your […]

Before you head off to the Disneyland park check if your hotel […]

Breakfast is provided by the Best Western Hotel so we were up early to make the most of this before heading out to take a look around. The Best Western Lamplighter Inn & Suites is in a good position if you have a car, which of course we don’t. So if you are like us and are relying […]

We arrive at the front desk of the Golden Nugget and queue for a couple of minutes before being called to the next available attendent. This lady (whose name escapes us but we think is called Teri) proceeded to put us through one of the best check-in experiences during our US trip. She was an absolute […]

As a treat, we decided to check into Caesars Palace for a couple of nights. We had walked through the hotel a number of times and just loved it so when we found a really cheap rate on their website for $150US per night for their spa package we decided to take it.
The hotel is […]

We spent most of our time at the Grand Canyon at the Holiday Inn in Tusayan which is approximately 2 miles from the entrance to the Grand Canyon National Park entrance.
