Goodbye Las Vegas

I couldn’t sleep as I was unsure if our alarm would go off, so I tossed and turned all night. Every couple of hours I’d wake to check the time.

The room beside us started making noise around 4:30am so both mom & I tossed until mom finally got up at 5:15am.

Showered, packed and ready to go we went down and had some breakfast. After losing again at the slots we went back to our room and got our stuff so we could check out. The taxi was quick and we got to the airport in good time.

After checking in we went thru security. They had one of those machines that you stood in and it scanned you like an X-ray machine. We made it to the gate and waited for our plane to come in.

Both mom & I were tired and slept on the plane home. Thankfully it was only a 2.5 hour ride as I don’t think I could have stood any more. I was very glad to be home even though it was -16C.

Overall it was a great trip – the concert and quilt tour were well worth it. I won’t miss the cigarette smoke (my throat is just burning) NOR the porn card guys. Gambling isn’t my thing so I won’t miss that either. The shopping was fun and I wished we’d have been able to go into all the hotels but oh well. I was successful in getting my Tom Everhart lithograph and posters, so that makes me very, very happy.

It is good to be home, Snoopy was excited to see me and I missed her. Even though every night before I got into bed I would say “move over Snoopy” just as if we were home! Yes I am such a weirdo.

Would I go back to Las Vegas? I’m not sure. I guess if there was a concert that I really, really wanted to see and could stay for just 2 days maybe.
