#StepheninUSA THE LAST DAYS

So days 13-16 of the trip 

Consisted of Las Vegas 

We left Salt Lake City early morning 

And the drive to Las Vegas was a 6 hour drive 

The last drive of the trip as we was ditching the car in Vegas 

And going the rest of the journey by foot 

Before getting to Vegas we did a little detour to primm 

To the outlet stores to get some shopping 

Unfortunately I was out of luck as I normally get some shoes when 

In Vegas to last me for the next year 

But there was actually none in the whole place my size 

Unless I wanted 5 pairs of flip flops or sandals 

So that was a wasted detour out of Vegas 

We arrived at the motel 

The suite we had was not booked till the Friday 

So we spent the Thursday in a motel 

We dumped the bags got changed and headed straight for the strip 

We stopped in the MGM grand for a little Buffett 

before heading of out on the south end of the strip 

We hit the MGM the Excalibur and NY NY 

I got caught up playing craps in the Excalibur 

And the next thing I knew 

It was 1:30am about 15 drinks in and $180 up 

So all in all a good night was planned 

The car didn't get return till the next day 

Friday was spent doing the normal tourist stuff 

Visiting all the hotels and seeing the sights 

Starting at the Luxor and working our way back down the strip to The Wynn 

Where our apartment suite was located 

That evening was spent having some food and relaxing 

As on the Saturday 

I was meeting The Maltbie Bunch & The HayGoods House Vloggers 

The Saturday was very chill 

I did some shopping in the afternoon and the headed to the Venetian 

To meet up with the guys 

They had been on a gondola ride so I met them 

We all sat down and talked and had some food 

In the Venetian at a wings place 

It was totally spicy and I couldn't eat it all 

The evening was great and we went and had some drinks and did a bit 

Of gambling around the strip and saw the volcano at The Mirage 

The last day was spent literally doing nothing at all 

I sat in the apartment and watched to all morning before 

Heading out in the evening for our last supper before 

Leaving at 8am the next morning for a long trip back across to New York 

Where we are getting a connecting flight bk to the uk 

The full trip was very long and nearly took 13 hours 

Plus a 4 hour break in New York 

That's the end of the trip 

I am heading to Denmark in 2 weeks so more posts will be coming I soon 

I hope everyone has enjoyed the blogs and the pics 

#StepheninUSA Day 10

So day 10 of the trip consisted of getting up bright and early and ready to take 

An adventure to Yellow Stone park 

Now I'm not gonna lie 

I was expecting it to be a little better but the weather was horrible 

It was raining cold and foggy and visibility was really poor 

We hit old faithful and waited for it to erupt which was nice to see 

After that we hit the 

Prismatic hot springs 

Which you couldn't really see due to the whether 

But I can say I have been and visited it 

I saw some elk a bison and some mountain goats but 

No bears at all 

Which I was very upset about 

But the season finishes next week and most of the park was closed 

Everything closed 10th October 

Only a few bits were open when we got there 

And it all closes on 4th anovmeber for the winter 

So if ur going to visit make sure it's between May and September 

But then the place will be packed as 40 million people visit it a year 

Like us if ur driving 

Don't go through the south entrance as it cost $50 to enter 

If you pick the north,east, or west entrance it's only $30 

The ole ride around the park is the best part of 100 +miles 

So make sure you have enough gas as 

There is only I gas station in the park 

The rest are all outside the park 

From here we left the park and are heading to Salt Lake City 

Where I am hoping to meet up 

With Aimee and Tyson 

Some fellow youtubers 

Which will be nice 

Any way 

Don't forget to leave a comment 

More info can be found on my social media sites 

#StepheninUSA Day 8&9

So day 8 & 9 

We're very simple days we spent the 2 days driving 

Literally across the Midwest of the USA 

We drove through 

Illinois

Iowa 

Minnesota 

South Dakota 

Wyoming 

We stopped in 2 nice little places overnight 

Called 

Cedar Rapids in Iowa 

And Rapid City In South Dakota 

The trips were dull and boring as it was 700 miles one day of corn fields

Then and other 700 miles of desert and mountains 

Don't get me wrong the second day was beautiful as we reached our destination 

Anyway 

I visited Mount Rushmore 

It was found by accident I didn't realise we were any where near it 

Until we saw some signs for it so it was a bit of an added bonus 

Stopped of and took some pictures and 

It is pretty spectacular 

Like the Empire State Building the construction of 

it was done during the Great Depression of 1928 

And it was completed in 1941 

From there we drove across the state in some mountains where 

I took some breathtaking photos and saw some amazing views of lakes and even a double rainbow which was amazing 

From there we ended up in a little town called 

Jackson Hole in Wyoming 

And what a town it was 

Full of charm and old town feel 

With a modern twist 

We stopped in The a million Dollar Cowboy Bar 

And had a drink

Then we hit 

The Silver dollar Bar where we had some food 

And then hit a few more saloons before heading back to the motel for the evening 

So that was the last 2 days 

We set up camp in Jackson as it is a 40 minute drive to yellow stone park 

Which is tomorrow's adventure 

Don't forget to comment and like the post and 

I'll see you all tomorrow 

#StepheninUSA Day 7

So day 7 of the trip

We left Toledo and headed to Chicago 

It was quite a drive but worth it 

We got to Chicago at about 2 pm 

We parked up at the Navy Pier and had a walk around it looked in the shops and stuff

We then headed into Chicago and had a walk around the bustling city 

And try to find a piece of a proper Chicago pizza 

We spent only a couple of hours in Chicago as the traffic 

Was crazy and the roads were nuts 

We decided that from today we needed to drive 

As much as we could over the next 3 days as we had 

a 20 hr Journey across USA if we was to reach Yellowstone Park in time 

#StepheninUSA Day 6

So day 6 of the trip 

We got up a little worse for ware 

And headed to met reed for breakfast 

At a nice little place called sweet-ness 7

So we had breakfast and caught up with reed as it was the last day I would see him 

He is such a great guy and everyone should go 

Bug him on social media 

From there we drove back to Niagara Falls

And we crossed the border in Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

We stopped the other side and took some more pictures as you can see

The falls a little better from the Canadian side 

It cost $3.50 to cross in the car 

And a passport check at the border 

Luckily there was not many people crossing on a Saturday 

But there can be you can park the car up and walk across 

Once we did the sights we drove to 

A little place called Niagara-On -The-Lake 

As recommended by my aunt and uncle 

And it did not disappoint 

It's a 12km drive from the falls but 

You have to visit it 

It is so beautiful 

Full of pretty massive houses all rangin from 400k to 1million dollars 

And the town is like a little hamlet of shops boutiques and bars and coffee shops

Full of charm and old town rurals it WA like going back 100 years 

With a 21 century twist 

From there we decided to head to Toronto 

But half way we stopped and handed back across Canada 

To hit back the United States in Detroit 

The weather was bad and they were expecting snow 

so we didn't want to get caught up in it 

Strangely enough every town we drove through had an English name 

Like London 

Dover

Chatham

Glasgow

Oxford and so on 

It was like driving round the M25 lol 

So we got back into the US 

And headed to Toledo for the evening 

We was going to stop in Detroit 

But the motel was fully booked 

We got to the motel and settled in for the evening 

That was the end of day 6 

Hope you are all enjoying the blogs 

See you all tomorrow 

#StepheninUSA Day 5

So day 5 of the trip 

We started the day bright and early 

We headed out for a nice breakfast in downtown buffalo

There wasn't really much in downtown buffalo

So I won't recommend going back there but it's a good stop of point as today 

I was heading to Niagara falls 

The US SIDE 

now a lot of people say that the US side is not as beautiful 

but I think it is 

We walked around and got some amazing shots and videos 

We walked over the falls and decided to 

Take the excursion to 

Cave of the winds 

Where you go down to the bottom 

Of the falls where the tour ends at the Hurricane deck 

Where the water falls so fast and it's so windy that

 it is the same as being inside a hurricane 

And believe me I videoed it and you can see the video here 

https://www.youtube.com/user/stephenh83 

It was so loud and wet 

They make you take ur shoes off and give you flip flops 

To wear and a massive rain proof poncho 

But it is pretty impressive and well worth the visit if you get the opportunity to do it 

So after some more exploring we headed into uptown buffalo

Where I was going to meet up with a fellow youtuber 

Mr reed Bentley 

We went to the motel and checked in for the afternoon 

And got ready to go to AllensTown 

A little part of buffalo 

It was such a nice place 

Full of bars and restaurants and coffee shop 

A great little bohemian getaway 

Full of craft stores antique stores 

That evening Reed took us out and showed us the sights 

We stopped at the Blue Monk Bar 

Where we had dinner 

I had SuaerBraten a dish of 

Pork dumplings and red cabbage 

Omg it was amazing 

The bar is famous for having 30+ different ales on tap at any time 

From all over the world 

We sampled a few of them and they were all pretty good 

A few bad stouts but overall very good 

After this the night stared to get a little messy and foggy 

We went up and down the road visiting bars and pubs 

We met up with some of reeds friends 

To where we ended up clubbing and meeting up with some many people 

And a wedding party from England to which we got involved and 

Had a smashing evening 

Cut to 3:30am and were in a taxi going through 

A McDonald's drive thru getting breakfast before heading be to the motel 

Let's just say the night ended there 

See you all tomorrow 

#StepheninUSA Day 4

So day 4 of the trip 

Started of with some breakfast and shopping 

In Baltimore by where James lives 

Today was gonna be a nice easy day 

as we had a 7 hour drive upstate 

To buffalo 

We chilled for the rest of the morning 

Then filmed a cooking video for James 

Channel which was great we made 

Halloween bark 

Apparently it's a thing over here in the states

So we set of a 2:30pm on a drive up states 

It was a long drive we had a stop half way in 

A little town called Mansfield in New York State 

The trip was very scenic and beautiful 

We made it to the motel for about 10pm 

And settled down for the evening 

It had been a long day and ready for some sleep 

Speak to you all tomorrow 

#StepheninUSA Day 3

So day 3 of the trip 

We arrived at James at about 10am 

We went to Washington, D.C. For the day and saw all the sights 

The first stop was the important one 

We went to the White House 

We saw it from the front fist and let's just say it wasn't very impressive 

As it literally just looks like a house 

But as we walked around the building you see the 

White House from he back then that's when you see the lawns and 

The Oval Office and the fountain 

And the legendary balcony which you see in all the films 

So make sure you see it from the back 

After the White House 

We walked through DC to the Washington monument 

Then to the Abraham Lincoln memorial 

The WWII MEMORIAL 

the Korean war memorial 

We then headed back into the city of Washington 

And found a nice little bar where we had a little rest and a drink 

before heading back to Baltimore where we was going out for dinner 

At the inner harbour 

The meal was really nice and we 

Went round some bars and had some drinks then got back to James at 2am 

I stayed up a few hours and edited some videos 

Ready to go up on the channel 

Thanks for reading 

And don't forget to keep up to date 

With all the adventures on my social media sites 

See you all tomorrow 

#StepheninUSA Day 2

So day 2 of the trip started of 

A little bit fuzzy as we sat up in the hotel bar 

Till very late drinking the bar mans special cocktails 

which were very strong 

Here's the link to the video https://youtu.be/Pkr7l8SDiXU

We were leaving New York today and heading to the airport 

To pick up the rental car 

For reasons which I can not talk about yet 

Let's just say it didn't go too plan 

We picked up the car and heading out state to Philadelphia 

We got there about 3 pm and had a couple of hours in Philadelphia 

We went round and saw the sights 

We climbed the famous steps that sylvester Stallone climbed 

In the iconic film Rocky 

From there we  

Took the drive down to Baltimore 

Where for people that know him we are going to stay 

With James from the YouTube channel fun foods 

From there we will be heading into Washington, D.C. 

And doing the full tour of the city 

Seeing all the sights 

Including the White House 

And plus it's my birthday tomorrow 

So we will be celebrating it some how 

I don't know how but it will be good as James is amazing 

And someone who I class a ps a really good friend 

Considering I've only met him twice in my life 

So we arrived at the motel we were planning to stay in 

And there was a little bar and restUrant near to it 

So we thought we would check it out 

We finished out drinks so quickly 

It was what I would say a locals bar 

And the area we was in was for an ethnic minority 

And there was karaoke on 

Now I like a nice karaoke But this was not somewhere I would stay 

So we jumped by into the car 

Went and got some food and then settled back in the motel for the evening 

So tomorrow's blog will be about my trip to Washington, D.C. 

And full of pictures 

I hoe you enjoy and
