In the States things went well except from a broken GPS, getting lost in LA, angry notes
from other drivers for bad parking, running out of gas in the middle of the desert...
We started our adventure in LA by picking up our convertible. Thank you Leo for helping
us to pick out this sweet ride! We spent two days in Los Angeles at our friends place who
treated us in a most kindly way!
After that we took off to Vegas! As our GPS could not even find Las Vegas we had to do it
the old fashioned way and navigate our way with help of a paper map.
We were so excited when we finally arrived in Vegas that we of course missed the exit to
the strip :) but found Tropicana with Nikki beach in a while.
"what happens in Vegas you can read on our blog"
…is what we said in our competition announcement, so here we go…
We surely caught everybody's eye when we stepped in to our luxury hotel squashed under
our backpacks as if we had just climbed the Kilimanjaro... And of course we got to hear about
it from people: "did you girls climb a mountain?" and "did you guys hike to Vegas?". So in the
evening we thought we have to change our attitude and put on our finest dresses that were
hid in our backpacks especially for Vegas.
Once in Vegas you have to gamble so we set out
a huge amount of our budget, which was approximately 20 $, and lost it in less than five
minutes. But as our time table is very restricted we both agreed that it was good we
didn't waste more time on a Casino. Then all "cashed up" we went to the nightclub. Despite our
try to look fabulous the personnel at the door recognized us being the "two girls with
the backpacks". Here we have to add that personnel in Tropicana is very friendly!
Next day we started by having a luxurious brunch where champagne was flowing into our
glasses like Niagara falls. Tropicana is known for its lazy sunday pool patries. Somehow we ended up in the VIP and for free… Well the rest (of the uncensured material) you can see in the
pictures.
After spending the whole day in the pool we met up with Bob who took us out for the
greatest sushi we've ever had! We had to exuse us for being in a
"partying-all-night-and-continue-in-the-morning" shape. Bob was understanding and ensured
us that it was the only right thing to do in Vegas. Bob is a traveller him self and has been
travelling on his light aircraft for the past seven years. Here are some videos you can

On the way to San Francisco we made a stop in Santa Barbara and were once again hosted in
the nicest way at our friends place. During our drive there we almost run out of gas in the
middle of the desert. You know that feeling when you are almost out of gas and you are
sure that on your trip out you saw gas stations everywhere but not when you return even though you drive the same way… Well
we managed and then got a little bit lost again (more of this scenario in the pictures).
Also at one point we managed to take the wrong exit (once again) and ended up on a highway
only for trucks. But we didn't panic and Jenna said don't worry Anna, lets just pretend we
are a truck, whilst driving in our tiny convertible…
San Francisco was gorgeous! Megan who hosted us was such a sweetheart! Having to get
up every morning to go to work she managed to stay awake with us in the nights taking us
out eating and entertaining us! During the days we spent time with another great family
Summers, who managed to show us the best of San Fran in only a day. They took us shopping
and to dinner at the finest restaurant and of course showed us all the most important sights. Thank you all our American
friends, we will be forever thankful for your hospitality and care you offered us!
This trip was also supported by Lamor Corporation Ab which made it possible for us to make
this road trip by supporting us.

Gracelyn That's a genuinely imprsevsie answer.
Pong Нет, я не пробовал ибо не было необходимости. Но примеров, когда фирма строит бизнес на prospect cnpiurtag у нас в России и даже в Калининграде хватает. Есть контора, которая только так и получают leads. Когда проходит выставка в БалтикЭкспо, то они предлагат участвовать к каком-то розыгрыше чего-то. Люди заполняют карточки и им потом звонят через несколько дней. Преглашают они в кафе и там потом проводят sales presentation, продают всякую фигню задорого. Достаточно успешны.Это не вопрос ментальности, это технологии.Получить контактную инфу человека добровольно не сложно, если ты заинтересовал.У нас даже в рунете это много где обкатано, тот же Мороз со своей бредовой школой.
