Where did everyone holiday this year? and does anyone have any amazing plans and trips planned for 2016? even if they're not booked, its still good to plan ahead :)
For me, 2015 will be the year I visited America, when I went to Las Vegas baby (https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpt1/v/t1.0-9/11111128_1407455572914304_3906305414541813592_n.jpg?oh=5c15f47de9624b370afb7e545d30274a&oe=571D4970)! We went the end of May, came back early June, I forget the dates, but we went for a week.
It was an incredible experience and one I can hopefully re-live. My boyfriend plays poker and he won a seat on the plane along with 100 other poker players in the UK (from a pub league, they host tournaments for the Vegas 100 - if anyone wants in - let me know) and do heats across the country and online. My partner won his online (his 2nd too, he went the year before and took his Dad)
We all stayed at the Orleans Casino and Hotel.
and part of the prize is a half price guest ticket ie. ME!

I don't gamble or play poker but it was the holiday of a life time, it really was. I did the zipline off the Rio Casino!

I also got chance to go shopping :love: (https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/11011680_1408525176140677_5617621273816760968_n.jpg?oh=cc362936308b59afa027693bfd024103&oe=571EFC40)
We were so jet lagged that we were all propper tripping. Our friend stayed by the roulette table all night every night (no concept of day/night XD) and he decided to crash out asleep on the floor on his hotel room. Long story short; the security guards woke him up with defribulators asking where he was from and how much money he had. I can just imagine it 'MATE, CALM DOWN IM DAVE, IM FROM LIVERPOOL'.
We called him defribulator dave from then on.
I found the heat somewhat pleasant aswell, it hit 100F on a couple of days we were though (an omg im an english rose, im dyin) but I wore factor 30 every day, and I came back as white as I left..
I'd move there if I could and work behind the pool bar at the Orleans with Nancy. Any day!
As for 2016.. hopefully he wins another Vegas seat, but being made redundant before xmas certainly ruins any hopes I had of a big holiday, unless I decide to just travel the world, which I might :jess:
