Planning for the Trip

August 26, 2006 -- 17:10

After a wait of 4 months, finally the tour plan could be finalized. We are gonna go to Las Vegas! In New York, the summer has just ended. Cold wind has not started yet, but the breeze is there. Fall would begin very soon. Right now it's 68degree. But the weather in Las Vegas is still hot - 98 degree! So, yesterday I bought a sunscreen lotion of 30 SPF from Waldbaums. Hopefully that will work.

We don't check-in luggage for these weekend tours. But due to new travel restrictions, we can't take shaving gel, deodorant, sunscreen etc., but I am dertermined to take them. So this time I am gonna check my travel-bag in.

I know that the tour is gonna be truly devastating and it will drain out the last bit of energy of my body, but what else can I do? All of us can't take 2 days off from office (yes, that's true - this is how we are working in US )and we also don't get long weekends very often.

hey everyone-remember there are mountains there, so rent a car from your hotel and drive up to Mt Charelston. Snow in the winter, and pretty in the summer.It's in Lee Canyon and Toiyabe Canyon. About a 45 drive up there. Remember to gas up there is NO GAS on the mountain. A very pretty place to visit. there is a Mt. Charelston Lodge,(dinner) a small town with a restaurant. If you ski, you can rent everything there. A small ski resort. Bunny run for kids too. A true hidden treasure! Hot chocolate for your relatives who just want to take in the trip.

Anytime you can get to Vegas is good. I love Vegas...been 6 times. I went last year and I saw 2 Cirque du Soleil shows. Everyone MUST see 'O'. It's unreal. There's something in Vegas for everyone. I'm not a gambler at all. I might go sit at a slot machine for the 'free' drinks but that only lasts for about 10-15 minutes. Save your money, book a trip. Go in the winter...the rates are much better.
