- I'm baaaaack!! Yup I am back in good old Oakland, California, literally trying to stay awake. My boss will be here in the next 15 min or so and I really need a nap. I have the strong feeling I won't finish the blog this morning, and may have to do it tomorrow when I'm at KDFC and fully conscious. I could have blogged earlier but I was on the phone with Davina for like 2 1/2 hrs and squeezed in some bible study.
- Okay so Monday morning after work I sped on over to my parents' house so Davina's dad could pick me up and take both of us to the airport. I checked my bag and we got through security in plenty of time, and I had a muffin and an iced coffee at Starbucks for breakfast. We finally boarded our plane and we were on our way. On a side note I do love Southwest, I can see why you love it so much, Sandi. The fares are much cheaper and they don't charge you to check your bags like other airlines are now doing. Our flight took a little over an hour, that was it. After we landed and I got my luggage off the baggage claim, we were able to check in at the MGM Grand from there at the airport and get a shuttle to the hotel. Another side note, it saves time and money to not buy a round trip voucher for the trip back to the airport. I'll explain that later on in the blog.. probably in part 2. It'll make more sense then. So we got to the hotel and WOW it was huge. Must have been a few blocks long, it seemed like. We arrived at our room in the West Wing and it was snazzy. There was a freakin phone on the wall next to the toilet in the bathroom. A flat screen TV built into the mirror in the bathroom. I took a shower since I'd been up for like 24 hours by then and I was feeling kinda funky. After that we hit the strip, and found a place called Tix 4 Tonight that sold really good tickets for shows are reduced prices. We got our tix for Tournament Of Kings at Excalibur and Bite! at the Stratosphere. Then we did a lot more walking and explored The Luxor, The Mirage, and hung out at Excalibur before the show. Davina and I played air hockey, and she schooled me. It was pathetic. Okay I'll finish this blog tomorrow.. I'm almost ready to go home and hit the hay.
To be continued..
