3: March 12, Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas | November, 2006. It started as a unassuming statement when going through photos of their recent pre-wedding honeymoon to the USA. "When we go back to Vegas, you'll have to come with us!" says Brad. Time goes by. The Sonnekus's get married, move house, move house again, and make the big decision of immigrating down under. Meantime the Liss's celebrate their second wedding anniversary in Paris, France. Russell's sent for training in the states, accompanied by Caryn, of coarse! Then gets a job offer for a permanent position in Orlando, Florida. So within a few months of each other in 2008, the friends pack their respective lives into boxes and say goodbye, before jetting off in opposite directions to start anew on foreign soil. As it does, time passes, months go by, many late night and early morning Skype chats and calls, even more emails are exchanged. But at what point the decision was made, the date set, plane tickets booked, an itinerary planned is unclear. They were to celebrate Caryn's 30th birthday in Las Vegas! and since the Sonnekus's had flown all that way - how could they not visit Walt Disney World?! March 5th, 2010 couldn't come fast enough! Soon the four friends were flying over an ocean and a continent respectively for a fabulous four weeks together. Orlando, LA, Phoenix, the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas and the roads in between! Sadly their time would go by more quickly than any of them dared to imagine, but fortunately for our four friends, no matter what happens or how faraway they may be - They'll always have Vegas!
