Chocoate, anyone

Does anyone want a repeat of the "Chocolate Tour" of our previous year? New and improved, of course.

And Gail and I wanted to know what sort of dinner the "Group" dinner would be. Mexican?
Big Name restaurant? IHOP? :-)

Another option for an interesting activity might be "Finding Nemo in Las Vegas" where we find all the aquariums in casinos, restaurants, hotels, then finish with the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay. Gail and I already have a sizable list of tanks we know of. I found one or two while wandering around there last week. Of course, you'd have to enjoy fish tanks to even consider doing somthing like this. We could throw in some sushi for you, Donna. (JK!)

More Planning

There were some e-mails lately about more choices on hotels.

Mom and I are booked at the Trump on a non-refundable, so this is where we’ll be staying.

I believe Linda and Gail will be joining Mom and I in our room since prices just keep rising as the dates get closer and they missed out on the $98 average a night pricing. 

 

I did see some e-mailing back and forth on Friday – and dare I admit this, I was doing so in the potty because it’s the ONLY place at work I can get any private time to sit with a cell phone and “chat”…  Work is – well, it’s by definition work.  Emails are a bit hectic for me and I don’t tend to check very often because when I do, there tend to be a boat load of orders out there for jobs #2 and #3 or is that jobs #3/4?  I believe kids would be #1 in reality, main paycheck would be #2…ah, you get the point.  I don’t do email often and at best, I skim and typically think “Ok, I’ll get back to that tonight…” and never do.  I’m horrible.  I have a LOT of plans, and less and less follow through anymore.

 

ONE plan is to go see Cirque Du Soleil’s Beatles Love show.  I saw the HBO special on how it was made…and before that point, I had no desire to see it…

After seeing the show, I have to see it now J  I plan on getting tickets through the concierge at the hotel – I’m assuming top hotel will have some NICE seats available for us… I’m also looking at the highest price seats – after having them at the last show and sitting next to the plant… I want that experience again.   If you’re interested in going – the price is $165 for the EXPENSIVE seats and $108.90 for the full view “inexpensive” seats… $102 for limited view seats and no offense, I think the $6 would be worth the full price view J   In all honesty I want to see what they save back for the nicer hotels to sell… however this could bite me in the tush too… ya never know.  I should ask someone who’s been in Vegas a while if this is the best way to go about it… 

 

The only other plan I have is spa and I’m thinking Saturday is the day to do this…. 

Anyone for a spa or Cirque Du Soleil???
