As I begin this posting, it is 10:40 AM on Friday, 3/16/06. The taxi is coming at noon. The taxi that will take my DH and I to the Buffalo Niagara International Airport, where we will board a Southwest flight to... LAS VEGAS!
My suitcase is packed: underwear, bathing suit, cover-up, sneakers and work-out clothes (yup! no tkd for 5 days? maybe I'll go running somewhere... or walk/jog/walking,) 3 pairs of cropped spring pants, a couple of decent short-sleeved t-shirts, one nicer beaded colorful t-shirt for wearing to "The Show." Sexy nighties. SANDALS, haha! (Easy ones for walking.) Make-up has yet to go in. Vitamins. The copy of the New Yorker magazine that arrived in yesterday's mail. The copy of Oprah magaszine that I picked up at the supermarket the other day. The 12-lb. Guidebook to Southern Cal. and LV that I hauled out of the local AAA. (Why does the darn thing have to be so HEAVY? C'mon, I'm taking it in my carry-on!) My camera and charger, my cell phone and charger, my palm pilot (my cheapy one that I hate, but hell, my whole life is in there.)
What I couldn't find is the padded pre-addressed pre-stamped mailing envelope that I also stick in my carry-on when I travel... just in case some TSA agent doesn't like my knitting needles. Damn. Of course, I have my Silk Bolero in progress...
Ain't she sweet?
I am so PSYCHED! Concerned about the kids, of course, but they're in good hands. And we're only a cell phone call away. (For whatever that's worth.)
Unless there's some free internet cafe around with available computers, I guess I'll be offline 'til I return late next Wed. night. *Waaaaah!* Will post pics (some) and share stories (some) when I get back. You know what they say... What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas! Hugs & Kisses to All! Love you, Miss you.
Have a fabulous, glitter-soaked time!
