My parents spent a couple of months exploring California last year and went onto the Queen Mary for cocktails, I think they quite enjoyed wandering around. It does look a bit tatty though in your pics which is a shame.

Glad Connor has got into the spending spirit now too!

Oh yes and he didn't stop spending either !

I was over the moon with the tweet and email it was truly amazing.. I can't wait to do the trip report for it..

The Queen Mary is impressive but it is a shame its look tatty , I suppose it would cost too much to renovate though?

Sounds fab, I bet you were over the moon about the email So you recommend Barstow as a stop for lunch en route to Vegas then?

[daytonababe]

I was and still am over the moon...

Barstow is ok , It has a fab Mcdonalds made from old railway carriages which is cool and then a few other typical chain food places.

Loving this report too - especially as we are planning to do the Queen Mary tour. (I remember the ship from when I was a kid!). Where is Peggy Sue's diner? Would we be able to get there on our drive from Vegas to Anaheim?

Thank you.

You'll pass by Peggy's Sue Diner :-) Its not far from Calico Ghost town about 10 miles before you get to Barstow.

Its on the side of the road.

I didn't realise you could do tours of the Queen Mary I thought it was just a hotel till we got there and saw the ticket office.

Not a bad considering the driving! How fab about the VIP Nascar email, i'm intrigued to read about that!

I wish we had stopped at Peggy's Sues not sure why we didn't really, Maybe next year as we are bound to pass by .

See more...

It's like a time warp, completely hokey but we enjoyed it.

Can't believe your luck - how amazing! Brilliant!

[daytonababe]

I am very lucky... Honestly I didn't even know what a ultimate fan was till I got that email.. I had to go on the internet and try and find out some info..

[Infinity Red]

What a great start to the day, and it sounds as though you all are ultimate fans ! I bet your son is in his element in the hotel gift shop !

You see reading trippies is bad for you as now I want to squeeze in a trip to the Queen Mary! I might have to just add it and pretend to DH that it's been there all along! After our stay in Anaheim, we're travelling to LA for a couple of nights so am hoping that we can go then if it's not out of the way.
