| Chantelle gets close to US stars including Sunny Lane. We called it Tongues Across the Sea. |

Once Chris got all his shots [and let everyone see him courting Chantelle around the room, obviously], we headed out. We had scheduled another adventure for her, you see. … Chantelle was to visit the Las Vegas version of the big wheel in London, “The High Roller.” [Hmm. I thought William was the big wheel in London. These monarchies are really hard to keep track of. Very confusing.]
Lon (and his car) provided transport to the High Roller. [We keep trying to get him to carry people around on his back, but Lon has no sense of adventure.] Chantelle chilled in the back of the car in her big round sunglasses, taking pictures and selfies. [Have you ever noticed that fat, hairy guys never take selfies? Oddly enough everyone pretty much considers this a good thing, and you can’t say that about very much of Twitter.]
We arrived at the High Roller, and straight away I could see that in America, especially Las Vegas, this version of London’s London Eye, was much more Hollywood if you will. [Technically Vegas is much more Hollywood than the actual Hollywood, but we try not to confuse the tourists, so we don’t generally mention that.] We managed to get our tickets with minutes to spare before the price of the tickets went up. Excellent timing and driving on Lon’s part. We headed to the transport and on the way stood in front of a green screen so they could take a photo of our group. I didn’t notice till later that while holding my DSLR camera it looked like I was, er, playing with it. Note to self: never hold camera near your groin area by the lens. [Well, that’s a pretty natural way to stand for most guys, so maybe just try to be aware of it if you find yourself posing for a photograph.]
We progressed through to the area to board the pods, music filling the mood as we loaded up. Once inside, they had an information film playing almost throughout. In the one in London, you just line up, get on, there’s a few information sound clips and then you’re done. The High Roller was winning on style so far. [How much can you say about London, though? … “Hello. Welcome to London. It’s most likely raining, and it will most likely be raining tomorrow too. Um. Don’t William and Kate have the cutest kids?”]
Chantelle was taking in the view and we pointed out the place we would have gone to watch the Absinthe show if she hadn’t fallen asleep in the afternoon and slept through on the night we had tickets to attend. [Reminder. We do so love that particular reminder.] At the time, I thought Lon had seen enough of Vegas, so he was probably enjoying the view of a female UK porn star hanging with him looking over Vegas instead. [Hey this was a big deal for Lon. He had to go outside to get there.]
