Unfortunately the Queen (mellemel8) was hanging with General James (Pearcetoyou) in St. Louis and Duke RJ (RJ82) and I (the Queen's LT) were re-energizing our souls hiking at Zion with Jenn, Tracy, BiG, Sheila, Nih and Nancy when Rene contacted me about wanting to get together with us.  T…

Thursday, already our last day in Vegas. And so much more to see! Today we went to the fancy site of the Strip. We started at The Venetian and were already tired when we got there but the airconditioning inside was a blessing. We walked in the Italian streets and i liked the of the gondolier singin…

OMG IT IS 4AM?!?! WHERE IS MY CELLY?!?!?!   Erin (poohstaggt) and I were groggy this morning. I immediately put on my shades. I only had an hour sleep. I am always stressing out that I was of course forgetting something.  I was also uploading my photos from the “ERIN AND MELAN…

After we arrive at Mel's after our mini excursion, we head to Sushi Mon to meet with James and Will.  Or, well, just James at first.  Will meets us shortly after.  It's his thing I guess. :-PWe stuff our face with all kinds of sushi and send the boys to hold our ground at Lucky Bar.&…

Well, somehow, thanks to Mel, Erin and Brett, I got back to the hotel room and managed to find the bed and pass out.  OMG!  Passed out.  Brett had an earlier flight and Erin was picking him up at ...what 6:30am or (something like that), for breakfast.  Mind you, we didn't get ba…

I think it was about 5 pm when we got back to Mel's.  Angel and I get ready for the ride back to So Cal.  Mel suggested we should wait and leave after 7 to avoid traffic.  We took Mel's advice so we chillax at her crib for a bit.  In the meantime, Mel downloaded all our photos a…

Melanie started this meet up as part of an initial request from Chris (www.travbuddy.com/aussieguy) who was supposed to be in the Las Vegas area in mid September. It turns out; he was not able to attend for reasons best known to him and Melanie probably? I’m assuming. I on the other hand had no i…

Ok so with just a few hours before the arrival of the LA and SF crew I set out to complete the rest of my winemaking with my co workers from UNLV.  We had crushed our grapes a week ago and had let them ferment. Now we needed to strain the fermented juice and put it in our Oak Barrels where it …

The night before was amazing fun. Well, I think it was. OK lets rephrase and start again. The night before was more than amazing, it was what happens when everyone arrives in a good mood, determined to have a scream. That's exactly what happened. So, imagine waking up early the following day to go …

The Travbuddy meetup in Vegas at the 3 Angry Wives pub was nothing short of a HUGE SUCCESS - Melanie was on top of EVERYTHING and just made everyone feel SO welcome. She is the absolute QUEEN HOSTESS of TB!! I got to meet a few new faces at the meet everyone whom I ABSOLUTELY LOVED! Kaycee brought …

So, got back from Vegas on Tuesday and it was awesome! Our flight there was a little longer than expected since we were flying into the headwind of a storm blowing across the country. Anyway, we got to our hotel which tuned out to be more like a luxury condo complex. It was the Meridian L…

Getting Booted from Hotel Sal, one last HURRAY! and my inevitable departure of the town that suits me just fine...!!

I had huge plans for today. I'd hired a Mustang convertible through the Dream Car Rentals website but for reasons explained in attached review I left carless. Erin and Mel were both getting tattoos so i wanted to go and hang out there for a bit but without a car it was a bit of a trek and after my …

The alarm goes off at 6:00 am and I snooze until about 6:30am when I wake up and check in……only to find I am already in boarding group B - 15 minutes after our flight is “released” for check in!! WTF?!?!?!  And not the first 30 in B, no I am like B43.  Grrrrrrrrrrr!  I t…

Since I had been to Las Vegas a bunch of times over the course of 15 years we decided to see and do different things this time around.  We chose to visit the Wax Museum called Madame Tussauds, which is in the Venetian Shops.  Expensive at $25.00 per person but I am sure there are disco…
