Ode to Vegas

Vegas Trip 2011 By Sandy Carman Here we go again and one year older doesn’t seem to slow us down We have our bags packed and are headed to Big Vegas Downtown Left Onaga around noon to pick up our friend from Topeka Kansas Arrived at the KCI airport and parked in C7 to catch our shuttle bus Smooth flight and arrived in Denver right on time we are so pleased No problems with our forty-five minute lay-over and, everyone pee-ed Arrived in Vegas, caught our cab for thirty bucks and headed to the Queen Arrived to check-in and guess what?   Our reservations no one had seen Still everything went well, the old travel agent had the confirmation number Wrong date but we were able to have our rooms and a place to slumber Powdered our noses and headed to the Fremont, everyone is starving Chinese Food, shrimp cocktails,   and drinks is what everyone was craving Two of our girls had sense enough to go to bed, two were ready to party Can’t imagine why they missed breakfast, they had been really na

Trip Home

The trip home was beautiful.  We were flying above the clouds.  It looked like cotton balls.  The sun was brilliant.  I had never seen this before.

Passing Time on the Plane

Each of us had our way of passing the time on the airplane.  I jabbered, hung on, and tried to look brave. 

Days of Sightseeing and Playing the Slots

Because MK and I are on a different clock than Dea and Pam, we decided they should eat breakfast when they get up around 6:00am.  (They kept waking us up!)  After we finally opened our eyes, we would meet and go sightseeing to the other casinos.  I have put pictures looking out from the glass walkway between the Californian and the Main Street Station.

Welcome to Vegas 2011

We arrived in Vegas around 7:45pm.  Cab ride gets higher each year.  You know those gas costs have to be covered.

Old Girls in Vegas

We made it home (no thanks to Frontier Airlines).  Our plane was lost in Denver again because they had hurricane winds the night before.  They ended up moving us to two different boarding gates before we finally got on a Midwest plane.  Trip was a bit bumpy; but not too bad if you take enough Dramamine.

Four Queens in Vegas 2011

We four ladies (Pam, Dea, Mary Kay, and ME) traveled to Vegas on March 20, 2011.  We arrived in Vegas with smooth sailing and ready to eat our customary Chinese Food dinner.  Yummy!

Getting Ready in March

Gary has been busy getting new rims on the camper.  Also a part needs to be added to hook the air vent to the roof.  Always, something challenging.  Gary has eight working days at Community Hospital.  I have been practicing retirement since January.  Think I might have it down pat. Miss Prissy has a new haircut and about froze in Missouri while taking care of Papa Lloyd and Auntie Donna.  She even had to dig deep in her drawers and wear the "Pooch for Sale" shirt her big brother Jason gave her. I've got my bags packed and am heading to Vegas with my "Four Queen" friends.
