So my vacation days are all confirmed with my boss and other folks at work. Corrine and Tammy are happy that I’m going. I’m really pumped myself about this coming trip to Vegas. Tammy said she will get the air tickets for me through Sun Country Airlines. I looked up Expedia.com, the flight will leave at 7 am from Minneapolis to Vegas, a direct flight. It will cost $316. Not bad of a price at all. I only hope Tammy is able to get a cheaper rate from her friend who is the VP of the said airline.
What have I been doing at work besides waiting for more work to do?? I was searching for things to do in Las Vegas. We will definitely be wathcing a Cirque du Soleil show, going to the Venetian for gondola rides, Bellagio hotel where the water fountain thing you see at the end of “Ocean’s Eleven”, walk the strip in the night, visit Hoover Dam, Aladdin hotel, MGM, and way too many hotels we want to visit to list down here. This website has all the great attractions all done on the strip.
Anyway, I really want to take a coach to Grand Canyon which on the way stops by at Hoover Dam. It is an all day tour. The next one I am going to get a ticket for is the Richard Petty Driving Experience. I think I will only take the “Driving Experience” package not the “Ultimate Driving Experience”. The Ultimate is where I can get into a stock car and actually drives it. It is an all day thing. The first package, “Driving Experience” will take me to the speedway, too, however, I won’t be driving the stock car. Instead, I am the passenger only.
Now, the next thing I have always thought of doing is skydiving. I told DB about his today he was like “You are kidding, right?” No, sir, I’m not. It sure doesn’t look that bad. It’s just a matter of having enough guts to do it. My friend, Wendy, did it, if I remembered right. The jump is tandem, of course, with an instructor, and all equipment are provided plus instructions too before the take off. The jump will be 2 miles above the earth, free fall for about 45 seconds and then the parachute opens. Won’t that be thrilling?? Yes, I’m an adrenaline rush kind of person. I am a risk taker, and DB is fine with it. I know he is not wild about that activity I am so crazy about, but he said I can do what I want to do.
Then, since I’m already in Vegas I should make a trip to the Liberace Museum. Yeah, I know this guy was one weird pianist, but he was so good, damn frigging talented that I have always wanted to see him live, but sorry la, he is long gone and the next best thing I suppose is to visit his museum. The tickets are not cheap either.
Nothing is cheap in Vegas anymore, that’s what I was told. I will be spent broke when I return from Lost Wages!
