Leaving Nevada
Monday was a sad day...I had to leave this incredible place and incredible TB friends behind. On a high note, Melanie and I met up with Sal (sincitytraveler) for lunch at the Florida Cafe inside the Howard Johnson's hotel on the strip. This was a Cuban restaurant and the food was very tasty. The three of us had a really good chat as we ate, discussing our future travel plans and when we would all get together again. Of course, Mel and Sal both live in Vegas, so it's a lot easier for them to meet up on just a whim.
Sal is an Osteopathic Doctor and it just so happens that I live about 20 minutes from the birthplace of osteopathy medicine...or as Sal calls it, the Mecca of Osteopathy. TravBuddy enables us to make this huge blue marble of ours just a little bit smaller, doesn't it? Mel and Sal were also discussing a variety of short travel options in the area, like camping in the Grand Canyon, and I was thinking, "Okay, I'm gonna have to move to Vegas!".
We said our goodbyes to Sal and then Melanie took me back to get my car at the hotel. I had some time to kill before catching my flight, and so Melanie and Sal had suggested I visit Lake Las Vegas, a resort community outside of Vegas. Mel and I said our farewells and I was off to Lake Las Vegas. I actually got a late start and by the time I arrived I had to turn right around and get the car back to the rental company. While I waited at McCarran airport for my flight you would never guess what I did....spent my time on the laptop with TravBuddy. I also recruited a guy sitting next to me. In fact, he signed up with travbuddy right there as we talked.
I was going to get a photo at the restaurant, but forgot my camera....now that's a SIN! So the waitress took our pic with Melanie's camera. Maybe she'll let me get that one from her*hint*
