West Coast trip....

Hey... long break from the blog world. As I mentioned in the first post, I am a very lazy person. I was a bit lazy ( rather way too lazy ) to just write down stuff here though I was constantly blogging in my mind. Had lot of stuff to pen down, but never got myself to do it.

So ya, a quick recap where I have been hiding. Went on a week long trip to west coast. Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, San Deigo, Los Angeles are the places we tried to cover in 6 days time.

Grand Canyon is an such an awesome place... I just loved it. We just covered like 1/100th of that place. But it was amazing. I really would like to go their again. Go for trekking or take the helicopter ride over there. There is so much more to see. I want to go down to the bottom of the canyon, near the Colarado river.

Then went to Las Vegas, the happening place. A place with lot n lots of casinos and people. Its such a crowded place. I was seeing a casino for the first time, and I never knew what happened in there actually. Its a place which makes full utilization of a man's weakness to earn more money in the easiest possible way. A nice place in a different way. I dont think I am that keen on visting once again. A one-time visit place for people like me.

San Deigo was our next destination. Went to the Sea world there... The Dolphin and the Shamu show were the best there. Its a huge place, missed a lot of stuff there. But had fun, the time we spent there.

Next we went to DisneyLand. It was a dream come true for me. From the time I was a kid, I always wanted to visit Disney Land. I just loved being in this place.. Its such a hugggeeeeeeee place. Acres n acres of land spread across.. with lot of exciting stuff.. All the cartoon characters that we have seen and grown up, all of it you will find it here. A dream land in its true sense. I was with the mature people's group, so didnt get a lot of chance to see a lot of kid stuff. This place reminded of the good old days when watching cartoons was my favourite past time. I used to wait to get back from school and watch cartoons in our alloted time slot. Not a min more or a min we were allowed to watch cartoons, with the exception of weekends.

Then the Universal Studios.. I am not a keen watcher of English movies, so this place did not catch my atraction that much. They did show us the different tricks that they do and create the world's best and award winning movies. There were the different rides and shows over here. All together it was a nice place, but not upto Disney Land.

So ya the Grand Canyon and Disney Land, I would love to visit these places again.

All together, the trip was good... got to see a lot of places.. but hectic..since we tried to cover a lot of places in a short time.
