Wish me luck Auntie Em
Well I'm off to OZ, the city of green; money that is. Lost Wages, the city that never sleeps.
At last report it was sultry, no pun intended, and around 75°. That sucks! Being in a rain forest, that's pretty much our normal summer temperature, only sticky, sweaty, humid, wet heat. Oh well, we don't have those big casinos: with all the glitz and glamour, show girls, lounge shows, extravagant buffets, circus shows every few hours; lions and tigers and bears. Oh My!
Jasmin and Leif's wedding will be on the 12th; smack dab in the middle of our 5 days there.
From what I hear there is family flying in from all over and the family that lives in Las Vegas is ecstatic. It's turning into a mini family reunion, which is normally held on Thanksgiving at one of their homes. So I guess it isn't going to be a little affair after all. Dang! Now I have to wear my good clothes. LOL I wanted to dress like one of the Ma and Pa Kettle clan for the something ol
All seriousness aside, it sounds like it might turn out to be a fun time after all. I have my bag of pennies, quarters and fifty-cent pieces. I've been hoarding them for a while now just for the heck of it. I haven't a clue how much is there, but that's for playing the slot machines. Robin had told me she was saving change for the trip and I thought it was dumb at first, but then it just sort of started, and then I was committed. It just started gathering. Hummm, maybe she's not so frumpy after all.
I'm not looking forward to the 4 hour drive to the airport at one a m Sunday morning. Standing in lines checking in, tolerating nearly strip-search humiliation, then the long trek to the docking area, then being sandwiched into an airplane that leaves at 6:00 a m, for another 1-2 hours...gasp...then the car rental place, and THEN, since we can't check into our hotel until 3:00p m, we get to roam around with our luggage checking out tux rental places. Doesn't that sound fun? NOT! Because we get to go through the same thing in reverse to go home.
Someplace in the five days I'm sure we will have some fun; I know I intend to. If I'm staying at the Circus Circus for five days, I should be able to find something fun to do. I brought my swim suit just in case there's a body of water large enough for swimming. I don't care if people do throw their hands over their faces and scream, "OH! My eyes! My @#$%^ eyes!"
So until I return; take note, I am overlooking the fact that their could be a hijacking, terrorist threat, bomb scare, mechanical failure before or during the flight, or any number of hideous events that can befall travelers. I'm going and I'm going to look upon it as an adventure; perhaps of my lifetime, because I could......win......BIG!
