Okay, so that last post was crap. What can I say, it was fired off in a much haste at the Airport in Philadelphia, waiting for our plane. But it got the point across. The past few months, work has been more than a burden and I’m in dire need of some rest and relaxation. With my sister taking my new nephew to see his paternal grandma, we have a week’s reprieve from Christmas. Much to my mother’s dismay, we’ve set a precedent last year of not HAVING to celebrate Christmas ON Christmas. It sure doesn’t bother me but I know it doesn’t exactly make her happy but it sure does make Christmas less stressful for all involved. With that early Christmas gift and the fact that I had a gig for work the week before this, we decided to do a long weekend in Las Vegas, of course the day after we booked the room… the customer canceled. But the room was non refundable and we REALLY needed the break so we decided to go ANYWAY. We booked 5 nights at Treasure Island.

So here we are, the flight was on time. We got really lucky, at the last minute when booking the flight I got pissy and insisted on a direct flight. It was only 50 dollars more, but the stop would have been in Denver and after the massive storm they had, we would have never made it to Denver. Also glad I chose the return flight with the stop in Atlanta instead of Salt Lake City! Just like our last trip to Vegas, we chose not to rent a car, we took a shuttle to the hotel and checked in. The hotel is really nice and our room is fantastic. I don’t have a single complaint, in fact only one bad thing has happened and that is the fact that I forgot to pack the camera. Thank goodness we took plenty of pictures on our first visit.

Sadly for us we are still on Eastern time and we were both OUT by 930pm here and back up at 430am PST. We got up and headed to breakfast here at TI, the buffet was amazing. We ate and then headed over to the Fashion Show Mall where we got to see yet another Apple Store, Picked up a few Xmas gifts and just had a nice stroll around that mall and wandered over to the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian and picked up some coffee and headed back to the room, more than a bit worn out.

Now we had pre ordered tickets to La Rêve at the Wynn, but I wanted to take in another show if possible and we decided to take a chance and order tickets to Zumanity. I’ll let you all know how it is!

That’s all for now More to come…
