This year, for the first time since 1999, when we flew to Charleston, Eric and I are going on a vacation together. (Phillip is staying home – somebody has to let the dogs out!) It’s just a long weekend kind of thing, but anything counts. Originally, I had planned a rainforest vacation, but this will work too, and the rainforest will wait (I hope).

We’ll be in Vegas from late Wednesday, May 21, to Sunday, and then have the Memorial Day Monday to recover. I booked the flight and hotel last weekend, now we’re just waiting for take-off. Of course I’ll have to do some shopping before-hand – I definitely need a new bathing suit, and certainly some other clothes as well. Neither of us are big gamblers, we want to watch a couple shows and just see what it’s all about.
