Sin City, Here I Come

I was talking to June last night saying how my little birthday vacation was coming up in a couple days and I wanted to get away but was too penny pinching to spring for it. She repeated what must be her personal motto for life: You Only Live Once. I thought about it and decided she was right. I needed to loosen up those purse strings and live it up a little.

I thought of a simple little trip to the Brevard County seashore or maybe even Miami but then I started looking, just for the heck of it, at rates for another destination a little further away and with a lot more potential for fun. After a few hours of research all across the internet, I found some phenomenal rates and, well, I decided to go for it...

I'm headed for Vegas, Baby!

I leave tomorrow night and arrive just about as the clock strikes twelve (in that time zone) and I instantly turn another year older. (That's how it works, right? LOL)

The ultra-budget airlines I'm taking actually charges a baggage fee even for carry-ons so I'm not going to be taking my laptop so I wont post on location, but expect a recap post soon after I arrive back home later in the week.

I only wish three things for my trip:

1. To have the stamina and leg strength for lots of walking. (No repeat of Washington 2008)

2. To not lose too much in the casinos.

3. To not end up like Nicholas Cage in "Leaving Las Vegas" (Yikes! Just on beers, that'd be quite a few gallons!)
