Lori and I returned from Las Vegas on Saturday. We had a GREAT time- except I got sick at 10:02pm on Wednesday. Had my first migraine- not something that I EVER want to have again. We really saw a lot when we were there- I have not been for a couple of years- and WOW have things changed in that time! We used the bus and it was so easy- $20 for a three day unlimited pass- and they ran 24 hours- definitely what I would suggest if you want to get around- because seriously- there is WAY too much walking to do otherwise. We stayed at the Golden Nugget downtown- I would highly recommend it- a beautiful property and they usually run great deals. The newest thing I noticed? LOTS of people dressed as characters on Fremont Street- we saw numerous Elvises (Elvi???)- we even saw a BLACK one- cracked me up!! There were super heroes and show girls. I guess if you are homeless it is a great way to try to make some money. Had a chocolate covered banana at Mermaids (brought back childhood memories)- however the place is FILTHY!!! I think that is why I got sick- it was probably crawling with typhoid- at least that is what I blamed it on.
Flew back on a flight that had a yipping, yapping ankle-biting dog on it- which I found EXTREMELY irritating. Reminder- if you take a dog on a flight with you- keep it in the kennel UNDER the seat- not everybody thinks your flippin' dog in a sweater is as cute as you think it is. (Sorry- just me venting)
Came back to a cold spell- yowza! Every year I wonder why I live in Wisconsin (well, really only every winter- I find the summers very pleasant!)
Being able to work in my jammies is a huge plus- my resolution this year was to NOT do this- but when it is freezing and I am sick- the resolution goes out the window. Hence, I write this in my jammies!!
