So New Orleans was awesome but got a little out of hand. We went to Bourbon street on Sunday avi for lunch and got home at like 3am. Needless to say much alcohol was consumed! Stace and Benny, I had a moment of really missing you when they played some of our fave songs and I had nobody to dance like a loon with me. Also, nobody to hold my hair while I puked and tell me they loved ME more. We made some friends and someone bought me a hand grenade (famous N.O. Drink) and a hurricane (capitalize on disaster anyone?). Turns out… Lethal combination! So we had to stay an extra day to recover from the hangover… Which was massive! Bleugh, feel sick just thinking about it!
Then it was off to Texas. Long bus ride which sucked cos our 1st bus was late, so we missed our transfer and had a 4 hr layover.
Dallas is cool but really just another city. We are off to Las Vegas tomorrow evening. We’re a little tired of constantly being on the move. Which brings me to my moment of home sickness. We’re having a ball, don’t get me wrong it’s ossum (thank you Zasch) but it really makes you realize how lucky we really are at home. So I’m going to take a moment to whine about all the things I miss! First, all of you guys!Really, a lot! Then, in no particular order:
Food that isn’t fried
My car
My house
My dogs 
Food that isn’t fried
Biltong
A REAL steak
Veggies (I know, right?)
Any South African food
People saying Ja
Food that isn’t fried
I could go on but I will stop. Anywho looking forward to being in one place for a few days. Yay Vegas!!! Mom and Dad, we’re staying a Bally’s.
Stacey, lots of love for Sunday to Stuart, Marion, and all of you. Good luck for your speech. Please take a photo of munchkin in his outfit for me 
Love you all lots

I know what you mean, when I was in Europe I was having such a blast, but at the same time I was painfully aware of how much I love home!
So ja, no, fine, have a lekker time and I’ll soak up some Safa-ness for you, you’ll feel it now now
