Perpetual Excitement

I've been so excited this whole week planning the LA trip. Every message from wy on msn is discussing where we should go and what we could do when I reach on 19 July. There are of cos the down parts during discussion when we (only me actually,) realise the tight budget we are facing. The cash that I am bringing over is a miserable sum. But we have gotta try to make full use of the time there. Which means less shopping, but perhaps more feasting for the eyes!

Just confirmed the hotels which we will be staying at Las Vegas and Yosemite. Las Vegas would be Treasure Island (the one featured in Miss Congeniality!!! - www.treasureisland.com), and yosemite would be an inn called Narrow Gauge Inn (www.narrowgaugeinn.com)

As mentioned, the super down part of the trip is the money outs. The car rental is gonna cost us a bomb! Especially since we are under 25, and the rates would be upped 25 bucks (USD!!!)per day. I am also quite apprehensive about the road trip since it's the first time I'm travelling alone (on air) and driving around in a totally new area! The stories of murders and robberies along highways are really scary!

This is the tentative itinery we came out:

19 Jul - Reach LA
20 Jul - Yosemite
21 Jul - Yosemite
22 Jul - Anaheim
23 Jul - Disney
24 Jul - ?
25 Jul - Las Vegas
26 Jul - Las Vegas
27 Jul - Las Vegas
28 Jul - LA
29 Jul - Head home

As you can see the time is pretty limited. I'm only staying 2 nites in Las Vegas, which is very very short (according to my colleagues). A colleague of mine stayed for a week and said there was so much she didn't see! Another attraction I really want to see is the shows at Las Vegas! The shows are super ex! We will be catching Phantom of the Opera (I insisted) and one of the production by Cirque Du Soleil. On average, they cost about 100 each (USD again). Freak, never watched a production more than 100 sing, and here we are paying 160 sing per show. And it's the cheapest! *Pui*

The budget is scary (all in USD):
Narrow Gauge Inn - $160 + $40 (entrance)
Treasure Island - $215
GPS - $260
Petrol - $300
Food - $500
Shows - $400
Car Rental - $500
Total - $2375 (S$3800)

And the fees does not include any amount spent in LA. *Pui*

Alright, 21 more days to my trip! Counting down everyday! Haha, or maybe I just can't wait to stop working. Hohoho.
