Was gone on an impromtu Vegas trip! Had no idea I was going, we hosted Turkey Day for 24 guests on Thursday. Friday I was awoken by TV on, Video of Happy Birthday Music (Birthday isn't until Dec. 24th) and then get dressed was told the car was started. No time to shower, nothing just through on some clothes.
She drives me to Mall Of America (Blindfolded no less, talk about faith!!!)
We get out, I walk, I load the Tram (remember this is what I know now, when it was happening I did not have a clue!) Get on the tram to the airport, Now I am told we are taking a flight, did not knwo the flight until I get at Gate that we are going to Vegas. Funny, security won't let you go through airport blindfolded! LOL!
We stay at the Luxor (What a piece of crap that is!!!) I see the following shows: Understand it was 2 shows a day!!! "O" at Bellagio, if you have not scene that it was amazingly impressive!! Followed by the late Chris Angel (MIndFreak Show) WOrst show I have ever seen in my life, I nodded off 4 times during the show. That was Friday.
Saturday, we bought a freakin time share by South Point, yep, I finally got suckered into it!! Then we do "Price is Right" at Bally's. Get there 10 minutes late, to find out we needed to be there an hour early to get called on stage as that was what was purchased. So they refund tickets, and give us tickets over to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower. (We never made it there!) Had lunch/early dinner at Rio the Seafood Buffet. Gambled a bit, lost 500 bones.
Went back to Luxor, ran through the Bodies presentation. People that donated bodies, and you see them in various poses, and stages focusing on systems: Skeletal, Lymph, Cardiovascular etc. One of the most impressive things I have witnessed. I miseed them when they were in MN with the display. Then after the walkthrough we wen to see Carrot Top, adn loved the show. Front row center, and it was great! Was reference throughout the show as most comedians do with my size, and baldness. Even shared a Crown Royal shot with him, and he said with your head and my head together we have velcro. SO we put our heads together. Small thing, but was funny and once again a great show!!!
Then early Sunday, we go to Airport arrive at 6:10 AM for a 7:00AM flight, was told we missed it, and no way we can go. Luckily we get on 9:15 AM flight as standby was told if we miss that, it wouldn't be until Midnight for us! What!!!
Arrive home, get luggage, hop tram, wasn't thinking about the parking at Mall of America at all. But you may not park over night there, and Park and Ride is 3 blocks away!!! But long story shot, we arrive at MOA, walk to get car, and it is not there. Call security and car was towed at 5:30 AM. Call company for car, and get in taxi to go pick it up! (New car 3 days old BTW, Company car) $325 to get car. Are you kidding me!!! I asked fully enraged, is there any Christmas or Thanskgiving spirit in you?? He then promptly knocked of $12 for one of the fees! $12.00!!!!! Oh my. Nontheless, I am tired, and do not recommend going on that type of a trip, unless you do not want or need to relax!!!
Jack, I sold this morning LEA at a nice profit at 2.24. I am watching the plummet, and am curious as to the huge drop and I am searching for what I am missing. Thinking about getting back in, and trying to time the bottom of it! ANy thoughts, it is at 1.92 now!!!!
