Glad to be back in Sydney after a few days in Vegas.

I think this picture from the Domestic terminal @ McCarran airport  sums it up, like normal life, but with a bit of a twist at every turn. Oddly, having such a large amount of gambling machines at the far end of a departure terminal doesn’t seem odd when you’ve spent the past few days in Vegas!

Evenings in Vegas are the most spectacular, it’s clearly a nocturnal town, everyone knows that, but it’s easy to forget just how much it comes alive after dark.

7/10th scale versions of the world’s architectural masterpieces are dotted around, bright lit for maximum impact and housing restaurants, casinos or retail stores; or escalators that take you to casinos or retail stores; none of the marvels on display were built out of love of course, or as upright stone demigods to keep the people in awe, each an every one serves a single purpose, aesthetic one-upmanship designed to draw in the weak and the vulnerable!

The hotels are pretty magnificent too…

In no hurry to go back, one trip every five reach is about right!

For the first time in months I am off to the US for a few days.. This time to Vegas for the annual Consumer Electronics Show.

Flying First on the new Qantas A380 is a nice way to go for sure, although the 2c temperatures waiting in Vegas will arrest my excitement I’m sure!

Beautiful last day in Australia for Mum and Aunt Hazel. We took a trip to Balmoral for coffee and a play on the beach. Some nice pictures to show for it too.
