Vegas Baby!

Jamie & I made it to Vegas! The flight was pretty uneventful, except for Jamie having to go to the bathroom for the majority of the flight but refusing to go on a plane. He finally gave in about 30 minutes before we landed. I was happy that my suitcase weighed in at 49.9 pounds (the weight limit is 50 pounds). Yeah!

We checked into the Luxor and arrived in our room at 6:35 p.m. Vegas time (8:35 p.m. MN time). We were starving because we hadn't eaten since we left at noon. Jamie realized that he only had until 7:00 to register for the physical therapy conference, which was in another hotel. We bolted over there outside in the freezing cold (yes-it feels like MN here) only to arrive at 7:02. Registration was closed. So we were tired, out of breath from running, cold and starving. What a great start to our vacation! The kicker is...on the way back to our hotel, we discovered that our hotel is connected to the hotel where the conference is through a little mini-mall of shops. So we freezed our butt off for nothing. Oh well - at least now we know!

We do miss the girls, but we aren't terribly homesick for them yet! It has been very nice to have a break; however, we have found it difficult to sleep in. Jamie was up at 4:00 a.m. Vegas time this morning (6:00 a.m. MN time) and couldn't go back to sleep. Sheesh!

It should be a pretty low-key day. Jamie is in meetings all day, so I will meet up with him for supper. We will probably watch the Gophers basketball game tonight, and walk through some hotels. I have already put on some walking miles this morning, it has been very nice to have no agenda. However, it is so cold down here that even the pool is closed!!


Have a great week!
