Catch up time.

Firstly I must apologise for the lack of posts, this was mainly due to me being lazy and finding other things to do with my time on a night.
In my last post I was in Utah and so I will carry on from there. Had a quick reload with car parts and ran up to Calgary where the trailer was dropped, then it was into High River for a load bound for Calexico California which worked out perfectly as it gave myself and Tom just enough time to do the trip and get him back for the flight home.



On the second night of the trip we managed a night in Las Vegas then left the following morning and arrived at the Customer at Calexico which is on the Mexican Border. Being as how it was Tom's last trip we decided to take a cab to the border and walk into Mexico (Mexicali) just so that he could say he had been. One of the first places we saw was a "titty bar" and after bribing the doorman with $5 (Tom is only 17) we went inside, sat at a booth and enjoyed the sights........what happened that night cannot be disclosed on the blog as its a family friendly site hahahah.




Unloaded the next morning which is a pain as it involves a lot of running backwards and forwards from the customer to the customs but eventually waved goodbye to Calexico and pointed the trucks stubby nose towards Port Huenneme which is just north of Los Angeles. Spent the night there, loaded bananas in the morning and come 7pm that night we were back in Las Vegas for a reset (36hrs off) Happy Days !!!!



Spent the night on The Strip with another H&R driver..Hi John... and had a relatively early night. Woke the next morning and then spent the full day wandering up and down The Strip which involved going to Madamme Tussauds which is where the pics of Tom with the ladies are taken...how many of you thought they were from the titty bar ?



Watched a variety show at Planet Hollywood in the V Theatre which is a family show and would recommend to anyone visiting Las Vegas as its cheap and very entertaining.

Since Tom has been here he has become somewhat of a "Burger Connoisseur" and his former favourite which was "Wendy's" was knocked into second place by a visit to "Fat Burger" which was found on The Strip and scored a massive 10/10 with a comment of "awesome"



Anyway, left Vegas behind on the 31st and ran north as Toms flight was leaving on the 2nd Feb and he needed to be in Calgary for about 4pm. For some unknown reason we had to drop the trailer in Lethbridge so on the morning of the 2nd I rang despatch and was told there was no loads going to Calgary so I might have to make alternative arrangements to get Tom to the airport...panic stations !!!
All of the above didnt matter as the UK was hit by a few inches of snow and all airports were closed and therefore his flight was cancelled. I had been looking forward to him leaving for weeks and now it wasn't going to happen....thats a joke !!
His mam..Hi Amanda..did a great job of sorting out another flight and unless anything else happens he has managed to wangle another week out here and he goes home next Tuesday.

So, have just ran to Delta BC and on our way back to Calgary.

Thats about it then, all up to date.

Speak soon.
