Vegas Baby ...

I rolled into Sin City yesterday.  My friends had not arrived yet, and aren't expected until lunchtime (Vegas time) today.  This is my first time in Vegas.  I had always imagined a city surrounded by a flat expanse of desert.  The surrounding mountains or hills (they look like mountains to me) were a complete surprise.  Another surprise ... the ocean breeze ... hmmm ... where's the ocean?  I guess you get an ocean breeze any place that isn't protected by lush vegetation and trees. 

Off the plane, I hit the ground running ... uh, no I didn't, I was wiped out.  The night before my flight, I only got three hours of sleep.  That was not intentional.  My electricity went out at home, and I woke up around 2:00 a.m. because I was hot.  I was freaking out because I knew I had to be at the airport at 5:00 a.m., and if I had no electricity, I was going to be hard pressed to get ready to go.  I couldn't go back to sleep, but thankfully the electricity came back on so I was ready when my ride to the airport showed up.

Flying is such an energy sucker.  I slept for several hours when I got here, then hit the ground running.  I  haven't seen much of the strip in the daytime yet, but its a stunner at night!  It really is a sparkling gym in the desert.  And it has more energy flowing up and down it than I've probably had my entire life ;)

Vegas tips to come.  Wit may be optional.  I am suffering a bit of caffeine withdrawal.  I have yet to find the Splenda Diet Coke.  Hmmm, I thought these people were more progressive than the south.  Guess they are more concerned with the latest in alcohol beverages than soda. 

TTFN.
