Stratosphere Thrill Rides

These rides are a blast even when you don’t even like heights like me! It did take some liquid courage at the bar on top :) I have done these twice now with an 18 year break in between and both times were excellent. I actually bought the unlimited pass and did the Big Shot and Insanity rides twice. Surprisingly the X-Scream was the freakiest one for me, because it simply hangs you over the edge looking straight down.

Battlefield Vegas Shooting Range

The whole establishment is decked out. Lots of vehicles outside and tons of guns inside to look at with LOTS of DO NOT TOUCH signs! I decided to do the “Black Ops Gamer Experience”, which was a lot of fun. There was a constant flow of people, but the establishment is very well organized. No reservation was required either, which I was happy about. Basically, a cart of guns you selected are rolled over to you unloaded.

San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park

Viewing and walking around these ships reading their history is definitely something worth exploring in San Francisco. https://www.nps.gov/safr/learn/historyculture/hercules.htm https://www.nps.gov/safr/learn/historyculture/balclutha.htm https://www.nps.gov/safr/learn/historyculture/eppleton-hall.htm

Slotzilla Zoomline

After doing all of the Stratosphere rides I thought this might be a let down, but it was entertaining to glide through the air through the Frement area. It is just a short ride, but something to do in the Fremont area of Vegas. Definitely do the “Zoomline” option! Where else are you going to get to soar through the air Superman style? :) Zoomline 11 Stories Up Fly Super Hero Style

Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abby, London Eye

I spent a day viewing the sights by myself just walking and riding the tube. It’s extremely easy to get around I see a lot from the outside in a single day. I like to do a lot, but want some down time so I normally only visit a handful of sights per day. Big Ben and Houses of Parliament Is there much more to say other than this is an iconic sight that you should probably stroll by at least.
