Visiting the hotels in Las Vegas

We split the days in Nevada between enjoying the pool at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and visiting the hotels in Las Vegas, and of course we gambled a little bit (if you missed our article about our gambling experience, click here). Mireya, Ruth’s cousin, prepared a nice guide for our visit to Sin City. We […]

Las Vegas, let’s roll the dice!

Las Vegas experience… the home of gambling and paradise for all players who want to get money in a short period of time. The worst thing is that many of them achieve that. Our case was different, as Las Vegas was a stop-off point on our world trip. If it wasn’t for the good hotel […]

Hoover Dam and Lake Mead

Hoover Dam is an enormous construction in the middle of the desert that literally left us with our mouths hanging open. Given its majestic structure and that it is located just a few miles from Vegas, there are lots of tours taking you there and showing you inside. But as we are on a budget […]

Death Valley National Park

Death Valley is probably called that because of the heat. That´s just a joke (or maybe not …), but the fact is that this preserved desert area in the western part of the US can reach extreme temperatures during the summer. We had no other time to visit and we did not know that it […]

Visiting Houston with a CityPass

Houston, Texas, was to our minds just a stop-off point before going to the west (California) for a one-month trip through the National Parks. We chose Houston because that’s where we were applying for our Chinese visas. If it wasn’t possible there (as we are not nationals and don’t have a permanent residence in the […]

Our experience at Johnson Space Center in Houston

Johnson Space Center in Houston is NASA’s headquarters and one of the main attractions in Houston, where history was made… and it’s obviously famous for … Houston we have a problem. We had already had a great experience at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where I satisfied my hunger for knowledge and information about space […]

New Orleans, for one night only…

New Orleans, for one night only – we wish it could have been more. Our journey to Houston started in Orlando, and as it is a long drive we decided to make two stops on the way. One was close to the wonderful Grayton Beach, while the second one was in New Orleans. We were […]

Grayton Beach

Our journey to Grayton Beach didn’t start in the best possible way. When we travelled from Orlando, where we had spent a fantastic week enjoying the theme parks, the closest (and most affordable) stop for us before Grayton was a city called Marianna. We found a motel for a good price and we didn’t need […]

Crystal River and the manatees

Swimming with the Crystal River manatees was one of Ruth’s “many wishes” on our USA trip. One by one I had to ignore her wishes for budget reasons or because of the location (or just for spite 🙂 ) but this was a nice one that was worth the trip and later we realized that […]

A Magic day at Magic Kingdom

This is written at the entrance of Magic Kingdom: “We believe in our idea: a family park where parents and children could have fun together“. This sentence from Walt Disney says everything about our feelings and those of many other families at Magic Kingdom that day. It was a very hot day and we knew […]
