What is a Virtual Road Trip?

We are a family of six (four kids, age 14, 12, 9, and 8) who decided to do a fun little project since we won't be traveling much this summer. We've asked our family and friends to send us postcards from their home town/state/country and from any destinations they may visit on vacation. We will be compiling the information in various ways throughout the summer. Look around through the blog and keep checking back to see how things are progressing. If you are interested in sending us a postcard yourself, please email us at hollarvirtualroadtrip@gmail.com. Thanks for stopping by!

And the second postcard...

Comes from Sin City, USA... Las Vegas, Nevada!


This came to us from Alan Garman, world-traveler (aka busy businessman).

Mike and I, and B and R were actually in Las Vegas as very-small children in their Aunt Tracy's wedding at Caesar's Palace in 2003... however, neither really remembers it.  Good thing.  We remember seeing the loads and loads of "litter" on the sidewalks  (aka naked-lady brothel advertisements).  This was in the days of the "bring the family to Vegas" days.  Um... NOT!  Who were they kidding?

"Look up, Kids, look up!" was one of my daily sayings.  Rather... "close your eyes entirely".

Nonetheless, no trip to the US should leave out Vegas, right?  It's like an amusement park stretched out for blocks and blocks (and some of the REAL entertainment lies within the buildings... oh the cha-ching of the machines, loud music, free drinks, Elvis!... )

Alan said it reminded him a lot of Dubai, only with more alcohol, women and gambling.  

Hmmm... Dubai sounds kind of cool...

Again, this arrived in the midst of Memorial Day craziness, so we'll be researching Nevada soon.  Thanks, Alan, for our postcard!
