I was up around 6am to get ready and get
to the Hotel where the tour would leave. When I arrived I found
out I was early. I had to wait a bit to meet the Tour
Manager, Dan, who sent me
with coupons to get some breakfast.
After breakfast I got on the bus and met Ty, who was still drunk from
the night before and a couple other people. Apparently a bunch of people had stayed out all
night, so I knew this was going to be a good tour!
Las Vegas was the end of the tour for
those doing Western Highlights, and the beginning for those of us doing
the California Highlights. In honor of us everyone
had to do introductions then Dan played the day song - Around the World
by Red Hot Chili Peppers. While we were on our way to Yosemite I
got to see the worlds largest thermometer and windmills designed to
generate electricity, which I think look kinda cool. After 2 or so hours of driving we had our first stop
at an outlet center, I did some shopping (bought some sandals) and
had lunch at In N Out Burger, a good opportunity to get to know people
on the tour.
After that we were back on the bus and
on the way to Yosemite. Our hotel for the next two nights would be
Chalets on Bass Lake. The Chalets were cool, each had a kitchen
and living room on the main floor, an upstairs loft and downstairs was a
bedroom with two beds and a bathroom. The only drawback was that
there was 4 to a Chalet so you had to juggle 4 people into the bathroom
in the morning to get ready.

When we got in we had dinner at the
hotel, another opportunity to get to know people. After dinner
we hit the bar for drinks. |
