Leaving Las Vegas

I am back home from my quick weekend trip to Vegas. I lost $50, which is probably pretty paltry compared to most people. It is amazing how much money you can spend in that town. I ordered a water at one club and it was $5.

There were some high points. Cirque du Soleil's Mystere, a vegetarian sushi roll called Ume Shiso, the lazy river pool, a club called Tryst in Treasure Island, seeing good friends from far away.....and some low points. One friend got her wallet stolen two weeks after her purse was stolen. I had a few issues with my flights home, and my new super high heels killed my feet.

Traveling always stresses me out a bit. If I could have one super power, I think it would be teleportation. But, it was fun to get away and leave my life behind for a few days and soak in Vegas.

The last time I was there was three years ago, about seven months after I got married. I remember missing my single life a bit during that trip, and faintly wishing I wasn't tied down to a responsible life. I didn't feel even a hint of that this time. I looked at other girls and was so happy I have what I do, and I don't have to play that game anymore. The best part of the trip was getting off the plane again and seeing my two men waiting for me.

don't hate the game, hate the playas! Glad you had fun. Guess you won't be retiring on your "winnings."
