Well for starters this is a later than expected post and unluckily no audio due to my wife now sleeping.  So lets get to the fun stuff, the trip.

We left our home in Kentucky and traveled to St Louis where we caught our flight to Vegas.  Nice relaxing drive, had to park in the main terminal and was flying out of the east but still not bad.  During our 3 hour drive to Vegas my wife explained to me the entire Twilight series since I have not read any of the books nor saw any of the movies.  I no longer need any further Twilight info as I understand everything now and we can leave it at that.

Anyways, we finally get through security (no problems!) and decide to eat before we fly out.  We caught a bite to eat at Chili's (personal fave!) and caught our flight.  A little bumpy on take off then smooth.  Well that is till we started landing, my wife no likely the bumps and it got bumpy.  Once on the ground we were told that a storm had just passed through and was enough to close the airport.  Well it made us wait on the plane to get to the gate for 45 minutes...  And we had made it there 15 minutes early, people were not happy about sitting on the plane and I was one of them.

So we finally get off the plane and met our driver at our baggage claim (I dont like to drive and I like comfort so I splurge).  Got our bag and went to Bally's.  Had a great driver, real nice lady pleasant trip except it seems every street is under construction.

In Bally's and then into line to check in, glad I don't hate lines because vacations seems to be filled with them.  Anyways we checked in and got a great deal on a upgrade (nope, ain't telling) and now have a wonderful suite with a Hot-tub and a Bidet.  I am from Kentucky and I am not a hillbilly but I am country so a Bidet is very, very interesting.  Looked it up on Wiki and now I can use it to ensure my taint is clean.

Anyhoo, we go out and check out Bally's after we get settled in.  My wife looked at the spa, is planning on getting her hair "done" and maybe some ink.  Anyhoo, we find that the up escalator is out from the shop areas.  Let me tell you, I dont do stairs.  I can do alot of things and in my personal line of work it is at times "physical".  I have breathing problems so stairs suck, big time suck.  Hopefully that is remedied soon.

At this point instead of telling you what went on suffice to say we relaxed.   Really relaxed.  So at this point we get to where my wife is now asleep and I am going to sleep very soon.  I am on the 24th floor yet have no problem hearing the construction going on outside as the entire city seems to be under renovation.

Cody will be coming in today with his wife so it will be good to meet him in the flesh.  The dynamic duo will finally get down to having some good Fan Faire fun.  Poor Steve is unable to attend but is here in spirit and wishes all of you a drink from his straw.  Tomorrow I hope to do some fun things before early bird registration and maybe try to corner some SOE folks.

For now I need to get some sleep badly...  Oh yeah, the casino lost $15.00 to me so far.  Oh yeah High Roller here.

See you guys later today or sometime during Fan Faire.  Audio will hopefully be posted nightly or as soon as possible.  Be careful and once i get some sleep we can get this party started again.
