I'm getting ready to leave out on a much-needed vaction

with Andre and his parents. The past two weeks were stressful because of work and Strawberry having another bladder infection. I'm so ready to start hiking and to just be outdoors. We're flying into Las Vegas. On the way we saw a strong thunderstorm over Louisiana. There was lightening everywhere. Andre's dad was videotaping it. For the rest of the flight I played this trivia game with the other passengers from the seat screen. There were all kinds of questions, especially stuff you would think I wouldn't know and when I knew most questions repeated, I finally won a round. It displayed my name on the screen and it shows your seat numbers for all players.

We finally arrive in Las Vegas and the airport is so crowded at midnight. The worst part comes when we get our rental car. It was some kind of Mercury model, huge car, smelled of smoke and we couldn't fit our luggage in the trunk. I told Andre at first at the counter to get the van, but they choose this car because they thought it would get better gas mileage. My arguement was storing our stuff, there was no room. We finally get the van but there's still garbage in it! I was really pissed because I was tired.

We finally get away from the airport to pick up beer at a gas station on the way to the hotel. I had a bad feeling about it when we parked beacause the cashier and I guess, his buddy were outside smoking. They wouldn't stop staring at me. At our hotel we could finally relax. Our hotel was on the strip not far from the MGM, but it was a rat hole!

The next day we walk around and Andre and I played at the slots in the new Wynn casino. Andre only had a ten and I played it won $2. I played on to lose it again and cashed out the $10. We lost about $5 before that but we got two pina coladas for playing. Oh, I forgot to mention we had breakfast at Whole Foods this morning!
