US trip updates: Hollywood, LV & Grand Canyon

Hollywood had a few super heroes, marilyn monroe's, spider mans and lot more on the streets asking us to take pics with them ;). Madame Tussauds wax museum had me and my 3 year old jumping around the whole time and left the camera drained out of charge. Vegas was totally a maze, I must say. We don't walk on the roads, we walk through the casinos to go across the road. You can see the destination right opposite to you a few feet away, but to reach there, u might have to go through atleast a couple of casinos and get lost a couple of times and take a few elevators. There are few other things I have done in Vegas that I have been longing to do for a long time. Ofcourse, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas :P. 

Grand canyon left me speechless for don't know how long! Awesome is the word that is just not enough to describe the beauty of it! Was totally worth the 10 hr 2-way drive from LV. Nature at its utmost beauty that I have seen so far. I haven't seen another wonder like that ever before. It was as though each mountain was hand carved to perfection. It was tooo huge to consider that possibility! We saw the narrow streams here and there which have carved the entire Grand Canyon over all the years to its present state. We also witnessed the sunset there. Drive back to LV was very scary though. We were literally in the middle of the desert in the middle of the night with no vehicles in sight either in the front or at the back and past 'no services for the next 30 miles' board, with no street lights, only reflectors everywhere and cat eyes.

Jetblue, a local airline has a wonderful policy of not counting strollers and car seats as luggage. They will be checked in, no questions asked. The beauty is, car seats can be checked in even if u are travelling without kids!! The flight had entertainment channels on throughout, even while takeoff & landing. Also, free wifi was available throughout the flight journey!!
