After Miami I head north, are you south of Miami?

No, I'm north of Miami, Palm Beach area.

I'll send you a PM.

Okey dokey folks, it's the eve of our departure here in Australia. Many hours of travel await us tomorrow and hopefully we've packed ok.

I'm not sure how much I'll be on, but I'll try to be around, while we're gone.

I'm looking forward to a fantastic time in the US, and coming back to the rest of the family when we're done.

Have a safe journey.

We are waiting at LAX to go to Miami, it's nice to relax and have a coffee. All good so far.

Awesome.

Killer deal be safe ! You get close to Saint Louis hit me up

Visit Detroit. I promise you'll make it out alive

You can't trick me about Detroit, I know it's like the walking dead around there, we'd be gonners on no time, lol.

We went shopping in Miami yesterday, it's still freaky being on the other side of the road, which I hope comes good as next week I start driving, so look out people!

Tomorrow we board the ship for the pre party with Cheap Trick!

LOL

Folks in Australia drive on the opposite side of the road like the folks in the UK? Vic, Dino can probably share some wisdom and perspective as he is experienced with both

Be safe and have fun

Go up to Robin and Rick if you can ,say my name, describe me, then duck for cover.
AWESOME GUYS !!!!
There is a small core of Ohio fans that go to as many shows as possible.

No chance to talk to the guys Rick, as you may know they have all left bar Robin, who I'll try and talk to over the next few days.

I did film their entire show on my Sony camera, which I can show you and I'll put it on YouTube upon my return home.

We got on the ship today and it's amazing, we want to live here!

Robin is a very cool guy who will hang.Looking forward to seeing photos of you two going nuts. Get her close enough for some interaction.

I used to live in West palm beach about 20 years ago. Didn't stay too long.

Some cool Aussie people are staying in Leesburg, Florida tonight.

Maaaaaan..........did you have to do that!

(F*#kin pilot's name was Andrew too... )

Ha ha, yes are here after a crazy day of driving on the wrong side of the road. Once I realised, thanks Rick, how close I was to the place I had to visit.

I also just a few minutes ago found out that it's in my big Randy coffee table book that what happened is Rachel was in the co-pilot seat when she had a heart attack and she slumped into the controls. Had they not tried to pull up they would have fully crashed into the bus.

Now, did the pilots antics bring about her heart attack? That's another part to it I guess.

The Kruise was awesome, I filmed Cheap Trick, Kiss unplugged, a Priss show and the second indoor Kiss show where they played some cooler songs and for a bit longer.

Now we head to Nashville!

Did you see Sophie and was she dressing provocatively? There is a lot of risque pictures of her posted from your cruise

When I saw her she was dressed ok, tight leggings I suppose.

I saw Shannon too. She was nice.

The book thing with Paul was cool, he just told stories.

Ok, it's been crazy since I got a car and started driving. I was in the Nashville area, meeting up with some VVFF brothers and did some shopping at Wal-Mart. I wish Vinnie had stuck around until I got there. No need to move out on my account Vinnie.

From there we went to Dallas via Little Rock. In the Dallas area I met a friend from the JCF and went to the Gas Monkey Garage place to get a t-shirt for a friend.

Man, driving there was crazy, with the construction and road works going on.

Today I did a massive drive to New Mexico and tonight we are in Albuquerque, ready to see some Breaking Bad locations.

Then it's off to see Tom Palecki in Arizona.

Almost 3500 miles and a week later we are in L.A.

Things didn't line up with Tom unfortunately as he is out of town on guitar business so we made the drive into California.

Time for some fun and sightseeing before heading to Vegas next week.

We are looking forward to meeting Uncle Kev soon.

A few days into our stay in California and we're having a great but tiring time, having visited Disneyland yesterday and Universal Studios today, along with meeting Kev on our first night here, which was great fun.

I really need to buy another suitcase for the trip home next week, hopefully a decent one that goes with the ones Serena and I have now. If I don't get something I'll be in serious trouble, lol.

Last night we had a great night with Kevin again as we bid farewell to California this morning, but not after getting a different rental car when I discovered one of the tires was flat as I was packing up. We got the same car again, just in black instead of white.

So tonight we are in Vegas, resting up for Kiss tomorrow night and then our last day in the US as we head back to LA to return the car and fly home.

Once upon a time I believe that there might have been some Vinnie relics at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. If memory serves me it was clothing in a display case? Take a peak and let us know! It was great for Teresa and I to get to know both Vic and Serena better...............

It was great to hang out with you guys too. On the way back I saw a Cheesecake Shop restaurant and a cop in a SUV.

I haven't found anything Vinnie here save an autographed LIU album at the Mini Golf across the road, where Rick did see a Vinnie shirt, but it seems to have been replaced.

In a few hours we see Kiss nice and close up!

How did the foot hold up Vic ?

It was doing better until the theme park days, and then I walked up and down the Sunset Strip, so it's not that happy with me. It's ready for a little bit of rest, but I'm happy I went and I'm in Vegas during the Kiss residency.

Sounds like you've done well!
You certainly haven't been complaining so that's a good sign.

.and talk about THE holiday of holidays.
Guitars/mates/more guitars/more mates/theme parks/Kiss shows/ repeat etc....

Well, you know me, I no lika to complain.....lol.....

The Kiss show is over and Serena scored big time, she got Gene's blood towel and a Tommy pick, and then as we were going to our room a guy selling Kiss/Nevada novelty licence plates gave her his last one.

People love giving this girl things, she got picks on the Kruise, she's a lucky girl.

And now we are back home, which is a nice place to be.

We had a great trip, did a lot of things, met cool people and had a lot of fun.

It's good to be home though, back with family and friends and we have a lot of great memories.

Looking forward to a few pics !
