oh...it's almost end of April and i was reminded by Mr Mok that i have not update my blog for quite some time liao :p
I spent my first 2 weeks of April in US...yes...this is one location that i've planned to visit since many years ago.... finally, 1 wish close... :) Visited LV, SF and LA this time....
Hmm..... loved Grand Canyon and Yosemite park... really beautiful... I even see real snow at Grand Canyon....it was freezing cold and we were not prepared as the snow fall was unexpected...grr.... Luckily after snow/fog clear for a while, we were still able to see most of the canyon...how to describe....非常壮观.... I was speechless standing at Angel's Lodge, overlooking the GrandCanyon.... For Yosemite...the 4 hrs bus trip 1 way from SF was worth it... This national park has the world's 5th highest waterfall.... a beautiful river was running along most of the way that our bus took from the entrance of the park.... plain beautiful..... and with the very good weather...it was a waste that we did not manage to stay longer or cycle to cover more of the park..:s...
As for LV, well, it's a typical 赌城... there're casinos in almost all building. Loved the musical fountain at The Bellagio... Oh yes...enjoyed shopping at the 2 shopping outlets, although we controlled purchasing as we are not too sure of luggage weigh limit for domestic flight. Finally we spent most of our money in LA factory outlet as that was our last stop of the trip :p
I was very dissapointed with Universal studio in LA..it was much smaller than what i expected..and i think most of the 'attractions' are not really up-to-date....the whole place looked very tired.... really regretted not going to Disneyland instead...
For SF, the place we stayed is practically a tourist area...and due to warnings that streets are not very safe especially after dark, we didn't really wander too far away from the beach/wharf area.... the dungress crab was good though it's expensive....cost about USD30 per crab :p
After this trip, both hubby and me are really broke liao...have to save money......
