We got home mid-afternoon yesterday. I didn't even try to find a computer while we were in Vegas.
After a little booking mistake on my part, we flew standby and got in around 11am. My friends who live there, picked us up, stopped by the store so we could pick up some Ensure, gave us a gift bag of water glasses, lotion, etc., then took us to lunch. WOW! They then brought us to the hotel and we waited out by the pool until our room was ready. Once they got us settled we said goodbye.
The Monte Carlo is a pretty nice hotel. Our room was large and nice. We had a nice view of the pool area and all the construction that is going on behind the hotel. I think the construction crane must be the state bird (or at least the city bird).
The surprise went well. 'O' was spectacular. We eschewed Hoover Dam to go to the Star Trek experience at the Hilton with a couple of other people. It was well done. Then we had our birthday dinner at Circo Restaurant at the Bellagio. It was a really fun weekend.
I've learned that a simple weekend getaway is hard to do now. I have to have some rest time. But I'm so glad we went. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Just Travelling Down Abby's Road
My final journey in this life is just beginning. I've shared a previous journey a couple of years ago and found blogging to be therapeutic and a way to share with others. Some may find this macabre and others may find it helpful in their own dealings. We are all on a final journey to somewhere.

Star Trek convention, eh?
What was your character?
Not convention--Star Trek Experience. No costumes required. They have a museum, a store, of course, and two 'rides' that incorporate 3-D, moving platform, and video from actual shows/movies. jr
Did you win any money? You cracked me up with your comment about the cranes being the state bird. You have a gift to deliver humor and appreciate a situation.
I hope to see you at Terry All with Michael and my buddy Kohlbi.
Mr. Freeze and KeeSha say way to go Jane!
