Happenings in the last week

Salsa and I kinda let this fall behind...

Immediately creating Fish-Chips-Salsa, we both jet-setted off to exotic locales! Ok, mine was MORE exotic than Salsa's (I'm sure she'll post on her Fairbanks Adventure)! But I hit Fabulous LAS VEGAS! On Halloween weekend no less...saw LOTS of CRAZY S-T-U-F-F! LOL! :) All expenses paid...courtesy of the parents, Dad & Karen, AKA: The Vegas Whores, as Kristin and I dubbed them! We eventually alerted them of this title and a family friend that was with us, Laura, decided that Kristin and I were Mini-Whores! Oh yeah, I forgot to mention there were 17 of us in our group! You could say, we're all about the more the merrier!

11:oo pm: Arrive at the Tropicana and get our room with a view! Can see the Excalibur, the Luxor and Mandalay Bay.

12:15 pm: KK and I set off with our Yard Cup in hand, full of Strawberry Dacquiri from Coyote Ugly, on our quest to find out how much the shark reef cost at Mandalay Bay! Get to the tram that would take us directly to Mandalay Bay...Yeah...it was closed, so we trekked it!

8:10 pm: Make it to the car, only to get stuck in TERRIBLE traffic! Learned that Karen is not a fan of traffic in parking lots! And about her rules! If you're talking on your phone, talking to your kid, listening to gangster music...basically the punch line is, she's not letting you in!
