Dec 1st - off for Vegas with Kim, Cathy & Keefe. I caught a towncar from work to the airport, can't say it was worth $35 but so be it I showed up in a make-believe limo. I met everyone else at the terminal as they took a shuttle there together. After checking in and getting thru security which was a non event... much like going thru the US-Canada border (trumped up as difficult when I have more hassle at sbux when there's a line), we went and ate at some restaurant in the bar. I kicked the trip off for everyone as I ordered a double rum and pinnapple juice... then also Keefe got a super discount shot with his beer, so he got rum and we tossed that bad boy into my drink, making it a triple. Never has the airport been so fun.

Our plane left a little late but they made up the time in the air. I was somewhat disappointed with how quickly my triple wore off. The plane was full and I got the isle and was nice enough to take one for the team and be the odd one out and sit across the row with 2 strangers. Luckily they kept their traps shut the whole way as I don't like chit chatting with strangers in general, especially if I have way out of it. Some CPA studying, rap music listening got me thru the trip.

The baggage took about an hour to come out, not the best way to kick off a vegas trip. We got in our room... nice enough. The view is nothing to speak of, since its of nothing. K&C got the better end of the room deal... thiers faces the strip and has a king bed. Ours 2 double beds facing east into the desert.

We then ate at the Hooters restaurant, good food. Then played some slots including Star Wars....then called it a night. Tomorrows plans include bfast at the Paris, Star Trek Experience, Cirques Zoomanity show in the evening, and whatever inbetween. Hopefully some shopping as I'm hot on the market for some jeans with character and word on the street is this is the place to get what I want.

Also the tub here is regulation size... not oversized... I was looking forward to soaking in a big monster tub. Oh well, its better than nothing.
