On Vacation

Well to bring everyone up to date, we are on vacation out West. Flew out last Thursday to Las Vegas in First Class (need the extra seat and leg room) and had a fairly good meal and flight out. Need to write to the CEO of US Air to commend them, actually they put America West (the owner of US Air) (Actually America West Holdings) at least that is what my stock says. Anyhow our baggage was the 1st thru 4th ones up on the baggage claim area. Walked out to the bus that takes you to the rental area (usually 30 min wait) and got right on and at the car rental area in 5 min, then only waited 5 min there and off we went with our "Green" Prius. It isn't green Hertz calls their energy efficient cars "Green". Anyhow got to the Luxor in less than 5 min (no traffic, really hard to believe) dropped the wife off at the front entrance and by the time I parked the car (another 5 min) I got a call from the wife to meet her at the Inclinator 2, we had the same room before (26138) Great view of the airport. Anyhow went to dinner at "Dick's Last Resort", good meal and a little bit of a crazy place to go. Friday we headed to Williams Az, to go up to the Grand Canyon on a train on Saturday, We had upgraded to the Observation car (Dome car) I always wanted to ride up there since I was a little kid. Rain was falling for the trip up, but by the time we finished lunch the rain had ended and blue sky and sun came out for the tour. The ride back down was very nice. But I forgot on Friday we went to Poncho McG for dinner, great dinner and a wild west shoot- out went on right in front of us, we were on the Patio and the old west shootout was on the street. Got a picture of Midnight eating his lunch sent by his aunt, I was glad to see that. Back to Saturday, after having what I said was a really great day, we went to the Red Raven restaurant in Williams. They are well know for their great food. I ordered shrimp and filet and ate my vegs and then the shrimp and had three bites of my very tender bacon wrapped filet when I seem to have something extra in my mouth. It was my temp bridge that broke while I was chewing on my tender filet. I was really ticked off. So the bad end of a good day. Anyhow today we moved into our time share here in Vegas (next to the SouthPOint hotel and casino). Walked over for dinner at Don Vito's (great Italian meal) and then won some money at the casino playing Wheel of Fortune slots. Then back here to watch Ice road truckers. Got another pic of Midnight, very nice to see him. Well that's it for now.
