Home Again




We are back from Las Vegas. We got home around 10pm. The trip was a bummer for the most part for me at least.. a lot of walking and things just didn't work out for us on a lot of things. Last night we wanted to go to the Hard Rock Cafe to have dinner. The shuttle from our condo took us to Caesars Palace and the shuttle that was to take us to the Hard Rock was down by the MGM. I knew it was far... but i was convinced that it wasn't that far... well 45 mins of walking later we got down there at around 8:15 pm. I was hungry and tired and really hot. So we get there and find out that the last shuttle that would bring us back left the restaurant at 9 pm. So we had walked all that way for nothing. We were going to ride the monorail back to Caesars but then we decided that we would go to Planet Hollywood for dinner. There is a Planet Hollywood hotel that is a few hotels down from the MGM and also a Planet Hollywood restaurant at the Caesars Palace. We walked to the hotel to find out that there isn't even a Planet Hollywood restaurant in the Planet Hollywood hotel... weird.. so we walked all the way back to Caesars Palace, hot and hungry and finally was able to eat dinner around 10. It was frustrating and really annoying. I had a bad attitude about it but who wouldn't right?
Also, today we had one more seminar at the Magic Trade show the go to that started at 11 am. We caught the shuttle that left our condo at 10 and when we got to Caesars- the bus that goes to the show was not leaving for a while plus it was going to drive all the way to the Palms to pick up more people and then go to the show... we didn't have time to do that so we walked across the street, through Harrah's to the monorail station... it cost us $15 for 3 one way tickets to the convention center and then $15 for the ride back... we could have driven our own car and arked there for $10.
Things just kept going wrong and i was so ready to come home. Honestly I wish I had stayed and just had 2 days off work to relax. (I need to learn to have a better attitude.

Oh, sorry it sucked. I hate that, and relaxing is way more fun soemtimes. But at least you got to see the trade show and decide if it would work for you guys. Better luck next time, right?

What a bummer, next time just stay with me and let Brett go to Vegas without you! Sounds like a good idea to me!

Ugh I would have had a nasty attitude too. In all honesty, probably ten times worse than yours. So you were a walk in the park. :D I am ready to go home now. I may be back in October, before Cameron of course to get stuff worked out on our end.
