hello, lovely

Wow, Vegas was cool, and we didn’t even see all of it. lol. I’m currently uploading pics, but it was an awesome trip, even though it didn’t start out that way.

We rode BART to the airport. It was pretty nice out… a bit of fog, but nothing major. We stopped and ate lunch, then went through security. The line was pretty long, and I thought it was going to take FOREVER, but it moved pretty quickly.

We made our way to the gate where we found out the flight before us hadn’t taken off yet. Then we found out that the plane that was coming to pick us up hadn’t even left LA yet. Ugh. So we were delayed. Then we were delayed some more. Then a bit more. We left SFO about the time we were supposed to land in Vegas. Suckage.

We FINALLY got to Vegas and took a shuttle thing to the hotel. Well, that took forever, too. We probably could’ve walked faster. I think we got the new guy. lol. I was a bit cranky after being delayed 2.5 hours and getting squished into a full flight and just generally being tired of everything in the world. I did hear one interesting snippet though. The last lady to get on our shuttle was talking on the phone, and she goes “How much Nyquil does it take to kill a cat?” I think everyone was a bit horrified. I think she said something about the cat getting run over, and apparently it was expensive to care for it or something. I don’t really know the situation, but apparently the person on the other end wanted to give the cat Nyquil. WTF?

Anyway… we FINALLY made it to the hotel. We went to our room, laid down for a few minutes, and then we went to eat at the cafe inside the hotel. BIG MISTAKE. We waited in line forEVER. Then we waited for our waiter to take our order FOREVER. I wanted to leave, but Joe said we’d give it a couple more minutes then leave. Our waiter finally showed up, so we unfortunately stayed. It wouldn’t have been so bad but they weren’t even BUSY. The food took about 20 minutes to show up, so the guy is lucky. I had a mediocre salad, and Joe had a cheeseburger, and then we left. I gambled, but no major winning streaks. Bummer. We walked around for a while, and then I sat down to watch the Stars play the Sharks in a 4OT game. OMG, it was such an awesome game. I’m so pleased with the outcome, but I hope we still get the games on TV here even though the local team isn’t playing anymore. lol. Stars & Wings!!!

… more later when I feel like typing & my pics are finished uploading …
