It's Been A While

Looking at the last blog posting, it's been a full month since I posted a report about our LV adventures.

There's no big reason, other than I just got lazy and out of the routine of sharing our tales. Here's a brief look at what we have been doing.

One highlight happened two weeks ago when Helen's brother Norman and his wife Lorraine drove over from Thousands Oaks, CA and visited. They only spent one night, but we had some fun and laughs during the time they were here. They stayed at the Venetian and we joined them for some good food at the Grand Lux Café. Norman and I watched hoops and hockey at the sports book, while Helen and Lorraine toured the Grand Canal Shops.

Gambling-wise, March has been an up and down month. I've played both poker and blackjack but no major wins or losses. Yesterday, for example, I played about 4 hours of poker at Ballys and won $80.

A few days ago Helen was feeling really weak and warm. Turns out she had a sinus infection and her fever rose to 101, which has a HUGE impact on her MS. After a bit of a medical run-around from her doc, she was able to get a  prescription for an antibiotic and within hours her temperature was down and she was feeling better. She's feeling much better now.

She really wanted to get well, because tonight we have tickets to see Rod Stewart at Caesars Palace. It's a show we've both been looking forward to seeing. And on Friday we have tickets for LOVE, the Beatles show at the Mirage. They have recently revised the show, adding new elements, and we're looking forward to see how it changed since we saw it last year.

We're winding down our trip and our estimated departure day is next Tuesday, the 29th. Well, it's more than estimated, since we have movers coming to get all our stuff and haul it to the storage unit that I rented last week. We're looking forward to getting back to Michigan, though it's been a VERY FUN winter here, highlighted by visits from the Edsons, the Tunes, the Wrights and Norman and Lorraine.

I'll try to do a better job with the blog as our visit here wraps up and our LV adventures continues...
