A while ago, AJ's godfather Andy- whose birthday is 6 days after mine- wrote me about a SCATHINGLY brilliant idea he had. Seems he and husband John had decided to "do" the US Southwest, and wanted me to join in. Well, I couldn't do the whole shebang, but as I had never been to Las Vegas....
And then one night over drinkies with Jenifer and Kris, I mentioned it. Kris hadn't been to Vegas in 30 years, and Jen is always up for an adventure---and a plan was hatched.
Fast forward one year......
These two are not too fond of flying...
but this helps- rice krispie treat and a screwdriver. Jane would be so proud.
Arriving in Sin City, we linked up with Andy and John, who had driven in from 29 Palms. We headed to the strip for Tex-Mex dinner (yes, I know we eat that alot, but it's a rarity for Andy and John in England)...
Vegas, of course, was still reeling from the horrific shooting of the previous week, and there was evidence everywhere...
I can not count the number of times that folks thanked us for coming to visit after everything that happened.
Andy was Cruise Director for the trip and had booked us into a marvelous show at Caesar's-
But first, to the Bellagio for the fountains.
The obligatory video of the fountains....
Then across the strip
And when I tell you WOW--I mean WOW!!
Think Cirque-du-Soleil in an intimate setting (of course, Andy had us VIP seats)
(Be forewarned- if you can't handle raunchy sexual references or profanity, this is not the show for you.)
It was WONDERFUL!
And we all went to our rooms agreeing
