We made it to Las Vegas with no problem and checked into the Road Runner RV Park. It has a ten yea rule on age of rigs but Norma smiled sweetly and told them it was an '08 model and they let us in. $107 plus electric for a week.
My Virgin Broadband would not connect and after a call to Support it was determined that their cell tower was down and expected to be repaired by Wednesday. The park WIFI would not reach our site so I had to walk over to the office. Then on a whim, I tried my Hawking WIFI dish on the dash and guess what? It is picking up the signal! Weak but workable and I don't have to walk!
Last night we drove over to Arizona Charlies, a local casino where they had a Tuesday Special of two buffet dinners for the price of one. Not bad for $12 for two. Shrimp, salmon, roast beef and a huge desert table. On the way out we stopped at the slots where I turned $5 into $23 and Norma turned $20 into $0. Has she lost her touch?
Tonight is our 48th Anniversary (actually yesterday) so we made reservations at The Bootlegger, a Mafia era Italian restaurant down on The Strip featuring a live jazz singer. The restaurant was featured on an Anthony Bourdain program on CNN.
Otherwise, we are happy here in the sun until we leave on Monday.

ReplyDeleteHappy belated anniversary and enjoy the sun as long as you can :-)
ReplyDeleteJust pulled into Edgar's RV park in Santa Ana. Luis, Edgar's nephew was on duty. Edgar is in Tucson for a couple of days so we won't get to see him. His sister (Luis's mother) is living with him now and cooking for him and Luis is helping with the RV park. Good to hear he is all right. Today is our 49th anniversary! Happy anniversary to you and Norma.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear Edgar is well but what about Anna...? We have heard nothing.
DeleteSo we should plan a return trip to Campbell River in two years for the big one. Happy Anniversary and enjoy! Many, many more wonderful years.
ReplyDeleteThat would be great! Oh my poor liver! :)
DeleteHappy Anniversary and many more:)
ReplyDeleteHappy 48th!
ReplyDeleteWe checked into the Las Vegas RV Resort yesterday and are paying $203.00 for the week. We needed a for sure reservation when we booked before we left Mexico. Colin flew to his Mom's bedside in Winnipeg this morning. It has been a sad week for us.
Congratulations! 48 is quite a number! Good on you both. Here's hoping for many more.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary!
