So I HAD to go to Las Vegas for the IRS forums.  What a shame!  I was so looking forward to it.  Bound and determined I would have a good time NO MATTER WHAT.

The flight was delayed 2 1/2 hours which sucked, time away from VEGAS you know.  I had big plans to spend the whole day sight seeing.  I tried to soak up everything I saw from the time I got off the plane until I could get out there myself and have a look…   I was surprised by how small things looked to me.  Of course, they weren’t, I just expected ridiculously huge and more.  Not disappointed, just surprised.

After settling in the room and going to a great buffet at the hotel, my best friend and I walked the strip.  It was amazing!  The detail in the reproductions in and outside of these hotels were something else!  The dancing fountains at the Bellagio were one of my favorite things to watch.  (Probably my most favorite.  Since I didn’t get to see all that I wanted - I guessed there were other things that would impress me more.)

My favorite casino was Bill’s Gambling Hall and Saloon.  Decor was mid 1800s.  Stained glass everywhere.  Food was great (a bit pricey).  They had $.99 Margaritas!  Whoo hoo!!! We ate there twice.  Gambled a bit there too.

I also loved the outside of the Venetian.  Reminded me of a huge Opera House.  The gondalas were floating about in front of it.

I would go back if I had to, like another convention…  But I wouldn’t go back just to go there.  There are too many other places that I want to see!

I recently got back from Tax Forums in Las Vegas .  I swear it took me 2 days to get my sleeping back to normal, well, MY normal anyway.

I hate to fly.  I really hate to fly at night.  Maybe I shouldn’t say hate.  Too strong of a word. But the trip home was excruciating for me!  No sleep, or very little. A few minutes at a time throughout the 4 hour flight.  Between the turbulance and the screaming baby and not being able to see outside, it was a tough flight.  I feel if I can see outside during turbulance, I can stay oriented and not panic about falling out of the sky.  Can’t do that in the dark.

Also, before we took off, the pilot said there was a hold up for the mechanic to come check the plane over and sign off on it.  JEEZ!  He said it was nothing to worrry about - that’s not going to happen!  (Thanks Grandma Crocker!)  AND, as we were taxiing, I heard a rattle.  Like the one in my Jeep.  Seems there were parts loose and nobody but me seemed to notice. 

Oh, the panic!!!

Well, I’ve decided to start a blog.

WOW !

I’m a bit nervous exposing myself.

I think I am going to take some stolen advice as to the format here.  I will try to keep each topic separate.  Keep each post short. Welcome comments (maybe).  I may even invite people! 

I was invited to my best friend’s blog and have enjoyed it so much.  I read hers and other friends of hers and they brighten my day, make me think and help me feel normal!

I couldn’t figure out how to make my own where they blog, so I googled “BLOG” and found this free site. 

Bare with me!
