Day 24: San Diego Chargers

Had to get up very early this morning to go down to Qualcomm Stadium, in San Diego, to watch the Chargers play Arizona. We were advised to make sure we were at the ground as early as possible for the tailgate party. At the party, amongst 60, 000 people, we managed to have a good yarn with people parked next to us. The game itself was awesome, the atmosphere was great. Go the Chargers!

Today we finally  headed out of Vegas. Although, before hitting the road, it was important to eat something from Wendy's and stop at the coke shop for mum. Today we were on our way to big bear lake for a few days. On the way we stopped at calico ghost town for a visit. It was interesting because dad had infact been their many years before. That arvo we made it to big bear, and had dinner at Sandy's sports bar.

Today we hit more casinos and hotels that we had yet to visit. In particular Luxor and Excalibur. At Excalibur there was a virtual 3D game system. It was just a big ball and a pair of glasses. I found it hard to keep balance and fell over twice. After Which we headed down to the Nascar cafe. Dad and i went on Speed the ride before lunch. While eating we ran into some Aussies from Melbourne. we talked to them for a few hours before calling it quits at dusk.
