Why Drive From LA to Las Vegas

By -
Let's start out with the timing of driving to Vegas vs. flying to Vegas. 
  • Driving takes approximately 4 hours (give or take, also depending on the route) 
  • The flight is 1 hour and 15 minutes (+ the hour you have to be at the airport before hand)
The flight time also doesn't include the time to get to the airport or to get to the hotel once landing, so let's say it takes about 3 hours at best. That's only an hour shorter than driving. Now this also doesn't take into consideration any inconveniences such as loosing luggage, the flight being delayed (or cancelled all together), or sitting behind a screaming child the whole time. 



In addition to this, the drive itself is quite peaceful as you're surrounded by mountains and open plains as soon as you leave the city. There are also many places to stop along the way that have some notable landmarks, such as the worlds largest Thermometer, Route 66 and Death Valley (if you want to venture out a little further)


If you want to get a bit more of a holistic US experience, I highly recommend thinking about driving as you get to see some true American landscape

London

London is another city that is rich with culture and history. Around every corner there is a structural masterpiece, whether new or old, they all make up the iconic skyline of London. Starting out where the Queen resides,  Buckingham Palace is always on the top of the to do list while in London, although it is beautiful to just admire, it's also worth taking a look at the Changing of the Guards timetable  and try to get a bit of a show in too!   Of course another favourite is the London Eye, which gives you probably one of the best views of London. You're able to look left and see the city which has been built up with business buildings and The Shard, and to the right, it's more historic with Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and Buckingham Palace.  Finally, London also has some great shopping destinations, such as Oxford St, Carnaby St and Covent Garden, where you're able to walk the streets, see some architecture all while window shopping.  - Jade

Nadi  The Fiji islands is north of Australia. It's capital is Suva which is on Viti levu and the tourist city is Nadi which is on Van levu. It has a population of one million. The people of Fiji are known for their friendliness, hospitality and their uniqueness hence they all "run on Fiji time". I went to Dolai suva national park where they had a naturally made water spring along with a water fall usually tourists aren't allowed but thanks to my friend we got a chance to vist the beautiful place, we had kasava and dalo the staple crops of fiji.  Suva city  I recommend that you try these restaurants when you are at Fiji Gokul(Suva),  Blooywood cafe, Tappo city(in cities), Kylin(Nadi), Mama city(Nadi), Asiana(Lautuka).            Maya Dhaba, Suva Fiji -Asad Shahani
