you ladies are awesome
I am now here in HOT las vegas, having arrived at the bus station (bleck!) at 2:30 am & finally hailing a cab at 4:15 to get me to my hostel ... most every cab was afraid to stop for fear of being shot or stabbed (at least according to the cab driver that finally picked me up after I walked to a hotel/casino just past the freemont experience for those of you who know vegas (its that dome thing near the old casinos that has those cool plane shows overhead every hour - sorry, its hard to explain, I'll try to explain it better when I actually see it working (it was too late last night) ... anyway, right away I met up with some very cool people from around the world (Germany, England, New Zealand, Sweden, etc), who promptly offered me some drinks & some eats. All in all, its great here thus far - I finally dragged my butt out of bed about an hour ago at about 12:30 after crashing just before 7 am!!
thus far the trip is going well, though the bus connections like last night's can be LONG, though a certain very cute marine made it passable
... he's from Cali so I'll probably meet up with him before I head home!!
anyways ...
I am off to spend some cash at the casino (just a little hopefully) & am then off to ride the roller coaster at the top of either the stratosphere or another one of the super tall hotels ... it should be fun!
if the rest of my trip is anything like the past few days, I cannot wait!
I'm here in vegas until tomorrow & then off to the grand canyon, as soon as I know more of my itinerary I'll let you all know ... and hopefully I can indeed meet up with many of you on my travels in the next few weeks
I'll keep ya posted!
LiEP, Jen
