Look what happened now...
Ready, Set, Jet!

Yes, I said NEW ORLEANS, as in NOLA. I sent it to one of buddies in NOLA & thought I would share with you. Here is the link to find out more. http://www.mydestination.com/bordeaux/events/73 Bordeaux is a LOVELY place & people are super, extra nice. And now you don't have to travel to New Orleans to hear great music, it's coming to you! 🎶🎶 (thoughtful or what?) While in Bordeaux please go to the galleries & support the local artist (some of the best up & coming younger artists are there too,) And be prepared to have a wonderful time. See you at the airport ✈ I'd like to time travel while preparing dinner, wouldn't you? And I wouldn't throw David Tennant or Matt Smith out of the kitchen either. 😁 Hello, Let's call this day 3.( I think it was..). So I headed down to the strip to do some shopping and people watching. So this is mostly a photo heavy post--little typing.. It was warm, but not bad. Had a lot of fun just roaming around and visiting the shops & casinos...
Took a shuttle and went back to the room and within 20 minutes it was raining! Catch you later- So continuing on with more Vegas stories..(on ipad - sorry no links, you will just have to read back a day or 3) remember how I had a horrible, evil migraine? And my bestest buddies from LA were visiting me?? So I sent them off to go have fun without me. (So I could lay in dark hotel room & contemplate the meaning of life) when, like two minutes later, there was a sharp knock on door. "Hello?" And it's room service 😱 with the above shown Double Decadent Chocolate Cake! OMG- Try to explain I didn't order any & the nice man reassures me that it was NOT A MISTAKE - it was sent up (already paid for) by my buddies...ahh I know they were thinking the caffeine in the chocolate might help... But shit I already had cake this week :( #damn1stworldproblems So I eat the cake & promptly pass out. 😲 Do I know how to party or what?! (Sugar induced sleep, no doubt.) Then some time (maybe hours, maybe minutes its Vegas for Gods sake) my friends are back at the door. With this... They are on holiday & are living the good life! (Which appears to consists of making me blow my diet at every turn, but gotta love their thoughtfulness.) #Truefriends So it's been a day of sumptuous chocolate cake, mind numbing headaches and sugar induced unconsciousness for me. Let the good times roll! But honestly this still isn't the worst trip I've ever had! #Yikes! Meanwhile my friends toured around Vegas, boozed it up, went gambling & shopped. (I know some wild people, right?) I was actually very thankful to sleep and get away from the migraine pain. I felt bad not going with them, since that was the plan, but they understood. So while I was napping they went down to the strip and hit a few of the big casinos (where they won a little) and proceeded to get a good buzz on & decided that I needed Pizza. So they brought pizza to make me well. Ahh good, thoughtful friends 👍😁 And you know what? It actually worked! I did feel a little better after all that. So off we go to the strip and ended up at The Luxor... Much fun & dancing ensued. (Had to work off that pizza!) We had a really, really good time! I will leave you with this wise message from a t-shirt I saw in a shop. Catch you later-
How it? Shh, Don't tell anyone, but I got in really, really late last night. So let us pretend I'm still away & don't have to go into work today, okay? My plane in Minneapolis-St. Paul (yes, it seems that is now on the way to Vegas via Texas) was EARLY and left EARLY. Cool right? Err, No. I wanted to shop while there. :( Behold one blurry picture taken as I ran across the airport. I've been to this airport, mmm, maybe 5 times? It is super nice and has many good shops and I was planning on shopping while I was waiting for my connection, damn it! See, it is an excellent place to try on/buy warm clothes for European Escapes (err I mean trips) but instead I was that Crazy Lady running across the airport to catch plane...No time to shop, no time to pee. Run Forrest, Run!!! So just make it before they closed the airplane door! (Panting & eweee sweating; sorry, but true.) Queue up & wait in line in breeze way. I should have known something was off.. Pilot was in cockpit & turned & waved to me from the plane window as I watched in line to board. I looked around (no one behind me WTF?!) and I waved back. Little did I know he was planning on leaving my luggage to hang out in Minnesota. So away we go... Last part of the trip over! Successfully flew across United States and I arrived back in Austin, Texas! Yeah! So depart from the plane, thinking it is good to be back in my "home airport," barely resisting the urge to immediately buy a taco in the airport, before I even get my bag. So with much self control I make my way to the baggage claim. And wait & wait... And wait till everyone is gone, but me. #foeveralone Sadly, drag my backpack & go find airline office. Conveniently located behind a guitar, cause its Austin. (Rolls eyes.) So friendly, smiling guy informs me plane left early (duh, I was there) *__* and bag did not. :( He takes my info & explains a courier will bring my luggage to me. Sounds good so far, but wait for it... Because I live more than 75 miles away (Really? When did that happen?) that tracking would fall off grid after the courier left the 75 mile range. #WTF? Umm WHAT? When the fuck did I move to the Bermuda Triangle? We did have cell service, when I left home, before this adventure started I swear. What reality am I in? I'm still in America, right ?? Did something BIG happen while I was gone?? :o But by now I am so exhausted I just say "fine", and go buy a damn taco. I'm sure my dirty clothes will appreciate the extra time in St Paul to see the sights. 💼 Whatever. Have fun - I'm going back to the Bermuda Triangle, AKA Home now. Yes, brain dead at this point. So I head off into what is now the Texas Bermuda Triangle... A taco in each hand, luggage less. And look we even have roads out here, lol
Later- So things started off ok. I had 20 mintues to kill before going to the strip with my LA buds. So thought I would cash in some wee winning & play a bit. No stress. But... Suddenly a migraine. WTF? No, I'm not stressed, yes, I'm drinking plenty of water & no, I don't drink booze.Slept good last night, too. Honestly, I think it was the smoke & the machines. WTF?! So I've been chill in the room, lying down in hopes it will go away. Can't sleep.. Grrrr Has anyone else had this happen? I actually noticed (ok everytime, maybe) I played over this week that the machines bothered me. I can't actually put into words how... But I didn't like to even sit in front of them. I attributed it to the smoke (I already bitched, err I mean posted about) this. Sounds crazy, but the headache is definitely real. Ok-- I'm going to try & nap again to go out tonight. See ya- Or Why can't I find a Decent Croissant? Was really craving for a light, fluffy, delicate Parisian croissant this morning...so headed down to this wonderful bakery in the hotel. But no such luck...attendant said,"We do have bagels." * __ * uh huh, they aren't the same. I am going to the strip later & will stop by Paris - I'm sure they will have... Was just hopeful. Left there went to Starbucks (still in hotel). Chai tea!! Decided I would just get Subway (don't judge me) & picnic by pool for breakfast.. It's still pretty early & somewhat cool outside. So off I go in search of pool.. Why no pictures of pool? Why no video?? Err Because... A couple of ladies were sun bathing by pool & a couple of men were helping them?!... It's Vegas. (Not really sure what they were doing, but err it looked personal & naked.) :0 So I took this sad photo of lounge chair (immediately wish I hadn't thrown good Coach purse down on it, what kinda fluids on there?) yucks :X And went back inside... So no judgement. Anyway, I am now headed off to the drag in search of some silly souvenirs & Perhaps a good Croissant. Looks like its going to be quite a day! Wish me luck. Talk soon! Hey, There is a gym here in the hotel. Where? I'm not sure. This place is like most Vegas casino/hotels you need GPS just find your way back to the room. WTF You think I joking, naw.. But besides the extra work out of being lost in the hotel (how the Hell do those drunk people EVER find their rooms?) & hiking around Neveda; it's still important to keep up with your fitness plan. I included morning walks while in Austin, (remember?) I am taking time to meditate daily here, do floor work & yoga. So feeling zen as I wait for the shuttle back to the mall. ;) Oh I did indulge a bit.. This was so good. New York style cheese cake... And speaking of New York Style---- :0 Because you have to live a little. I didn't eat the WHOLE PIZZA OR THE WHOLE CHEESECAKE..1 piece of each over the course of a week. Lol "All things in moderation, including moderation." As a friend likes to say.. Ok I see my ride -- Got to run, talk soon! This was sunrise -- too many obstacles but still was nice. I couldn't be bothered to go outside to snap a better shot.. Had gaming waiting for me. I waited in line for ever (probably 10 whole minutes) and there were still 50 people a head of me for breakfast buffet.. #fail You know all fruit will be gone by then, nothing left but rubber eggs (yuck) & old meat. So I left line & went on search for afforadable food (haha) in Vegas. *actually I didn't ever get close enough to see buffet it was probably great. It's just I am a fire sign we do not wait in line...ever. :x Ended up just having coffee at slot machine in casino & winning. Yeah! Later headed to Starbucks. I was really surprised that the veggie sandwiched were only $5.00 too. (Some stuff in Vegas is more than 5 x what you would pay elsewhere in the states) So I bought 2 bottles of water, a veggie foot long & yogurt for approx $10.00 win! and after eatting 1/2 I decided to try the slots again... This was a penny machine. I checked out with $62.00 on a $5.00 bill. So I quit for the day. It was napping, then shopping (show you that in another post), then back to the room to meditate (yes, really) and later clubbing. And I called & got the wifi/ipad problem straighten out. I am on Fire! World peace is next .....lol Tomorrow I am meeting friends from LA...so should be a busy day. Talk soon- |
