Because of the heat of riding through Death Valley yesterday, we decided not to venture out of our hotel suite the entire day! We sat around in our bathrobes watching TV, catching up on email, eating room service and sleeping, until nightfall, when Vegas comes alive!!

The Bellagio Hotel where we are staying has these massive musical fountains playing out front which draws huge crowds!

After an incredible meal at Le Cirque, we got to see the David Copperfield show which was fantastic and although we were planning an early night after that because we were “supposed” to leave at 7am to head for the grand canyon tomorrow, a slight detour for a nightcap at “Hyde”, the nightclub in The Bellagio, turned into an all night party and saw us only getting to be at 3:30am!!

For those that want to have a “romantic” wedding, this is the place, it even comes with fake guests these days!!

Be a sport Many of us have the means and wherewithal to undertake the dreams we want but elect to choose otherwise, many however, do not and that is the purpose of this plea. Afrika Tikkun (http://afrikatikkun.org// ) is a South African non governmental, non profit charity organisation run by the Lubner family that in essence does just that; re-provide the possibility to dream and to create the possibility of turning those dreams into a reality.

Unlike many pleas of this nature, I am not looking for any kind of sponsorship for my trip, but I am looking for your donation, regardless of its size to Afrika Tikkun. Please pledge generously as this is a fantastic cause that will assist them to provide food, care, education, health and social services to those that are desperately in need.
