>Feb. 4 -Vegas Day 1

>

We were supposed to be in Vegas by 1:00 p.m., but since our flight was overbooked, we voluntarily offered to give up our seats and take the next flight to get the free travel voucher.  Already I was up $300 and I hadn’t even gotten on a plane yet.  We all know that won’t last long.

Finally we get to Vegas and our hotel.  We were regrouping in the hotel room when suddenly my friend lets out a shriek of laughter in the bathroom.  Now mind you, she is alone in there and we haven’t been the room more than five minutes.  Come to find out, a pair of men’s dirty underwear is lying balled up in the corner under the sink.  We called the front desk and they sent a security guy up to clear away the hazardous material.  Of course his haz mat gear consisted of his shoe (to pull the offending material out from under the sink) and a pair of latex gloves (to pick up the offending material).

After that I needed a drink.  My germaphobia was kicking into high gear.  Needless to say I pounded two beers and felt much better.  By the way, the view from Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville is beautiful. I recommend sitting on the rooftop patio if the weather permits.
