I had every intention of finishing the telling of the trip to Las Vegas and the North West Passage before Halloween...then Thanksgiving...then Christmas....well, you get the picture.
(um...I guess you really didn't.....)
But, without further ado--and desperately trying to avoid a major attack of the guilts...here's the last few images of Vegas.
Most of us desperately want to forget that our merry band travelled to Vegas just one week after the horrible massacre of so many at the outdoor concert. But we felt we needed to make a pilgrimage to the famous Las Vegas sign- just to see it. A makeshift memorial had sprung up- and, while moving me to tears, made me glad we went.
We hopped in Andy and John's rented Mustang
I say that if one is touring the great American Southwest, one should do it in a convertible.
We drove past the Mandalay Bay- where that horrible monster's room was still boarded up.
This is one of the entrance/exit gates on the concert property. Sadly, 59 people would not live to see this "See Ya Later"- and over 500 would have to be carried out injured.
So there you go.
