Started my day real early today at 4am, as its gonna be a long trip to Grand Canyon from Las Vegas, the bus ride takes 3 hours to reach the shuttle bus area of Grand Canyon, and we have to change to the Shuttle Bus to continue another 45min ride into the headquarters..
Its a challenge to wake up at 4am to prepare to start the day, we do not have time for breakfast cos the breakfast buffet is not open until 6am but luckily Hammond allowed us to dabao breakfast and eat in the bus on the way. Luckily x 2 that i have a sweet bf that goes down earlier to dabao Mcdonald Breakfast for me so that i can prepare slowly and still get to have my breakfast ready.

| #OOTD - wore a thin pullover cos i assumed it will be hot, I WAS WRONG! i almost freeze to death at Grand Canyon. Luckily x 3 i brought my jacket along.
I went down at the time we are supposed to meet the group and my breakfast is ready for me! 呵呵.

Arrived at the Shuttle Bus area to wait for our shuttle bus to come pick us up.
Taking photos while waiting so that our time is not wasted standing around doing nothing.
Finally after 15min or so, our shuttle bus arrived...
The shuttle bus looks like a bus that ferries prisoners to the prisoner. LOL.
The ride to Grand Canyon headquarters is bumpy and HOT! and i have my down feather jacket on the whole 45 minute... at some point, i drink some water, cos i think im getting a heat stroke.
I survived the bus ride without getting heat stroked and arrived at the headquarters of Grand Canyon.
Went in and queued up to get our weight taken to prepare for the Helicopter ride.
Hammond handed us the Meal Voucher for our Lunch cooked by the Hualapai Nation people (Natives red indians living inside Grand Canyon) and our bus pass to get to the lunch area.
While waiting for our turn to go on the helicopter.
Walking to the Helipad to board the Helicopter!
Our Helicopter LAI LIAO!
Faster take picture with the helicopter before going on it! LOL
Preparing to take off!
Awesome views from the helicopter as we take off.

Our Nice Lunch prepared by the Hualapai Natives.
Continue to take pictures after lunch, this time round, must be very careful cos there are no fencing to cordon off the cliff area.
Taking pictures of MYSELF cos Angry Smurf is nowhere to be found.
i tot he fell off the cliff liao.
OK, he did not fell off the cliff, he just went to a corner to take Panorama Pictures of Grand Canyon!
On the bus back to the headquarters after our lunch and phototaking to meet the group before taking shuttle bus back to the coach.
After Grand Canyon, the coach will bring us back to Las Vegas, stopping En-Route at Hoover Dam for some phototaking!
Angry Smurf sneaked off to buy ice cream, this popsical cost 3USD when it will only probably cost us $0.50 in SG. Tio cheated.
Went to Cabo Wabo Cantina for Dinner after freshening up at the hotel, its a nice restaurant recommended by Serene & Gary as they went there last night for dinner while me n angry smurf dabao back hotel.
This restaurant sits facing the Bellagio Fountain, so finally can watch the Fountain Show lo!
Went to the Huge 4 storey M&M shop down the street after dinner! Serene & Gary went back earlier cos they were too tired! Love the colourful M&Ms but too bad nv buy, scare will melt when come back. LOL
AND I MANAGED TO BUY A NEW SKECHERS SHOE FINALLY!
GOODBYE TO PAINFUL FEET!
Went to Hotel Casino to play some games before going back hotel room, Angry Smurf won a three of a kind in 3 card poker, so that reduce our losses to 400USD.
Decided to put 100USD into a jackpot machine to see if miracle happens, end up, after 30min, we cashed out 100.25. not too bad, at least win 25 cents. hahahahahhaha!
Time to go back to the hotel after cashing out the money, can sleep slightly later tomorrow as its Xmas and our day will only be spent travelling to Los Angeles, no itinerary at all.
Collected our Breakfast buffet coupon from Hammond earlier, and this buffet at Monte Carlo is the best. The Best breakfast we had so far in our USA trip...
International Buffet Breakfast is always my favourite!
