• It Really is Fabulous

  We had a free airline ticket and a free room.  We added my ticket and upgraded the room, which is how we ended up in Vegas for the weekend.  We had a pretty fabulous room on the top floor of the Flamingo, which is one of my favorite places to stay.  We moved through our weekend doing what we wanted, which is easy when you're in Vegas.  You can pretty much do whatever you want whenever you want to.  Sunday we were sitting at a restaurant when Bill wanted to smoke a cigar and I wanted to find a couch and the Broncos game.  I had just ordered a beer (beer in a bourbon barrel - yummy), so I asked, "Can I get a to go cup?" and easy as that, I was on my way.  On top of that is the silliness of Vegas - the people, the ice rink on top of the fake canal, a giant frog in a cowboy hat singing, just on and on.

  Naps, good sex, great food, and winning big on the games I bet on Sunday.  (Go, Chiefs!)  I shopped, Bill smoked a ton of cigars and played cards.  We went downtown on our last day and hung out watching football and drinking too much.  We went to Hugo's Cellar for a steak and rode back to the Strip leaning against one another on the bus.  We were giddy with good times.

  It's been a rough fall and we were a bit apprehensive about this trip, but I am so very glad that we took some time off together and found pleasure in one another.  Vegas has always been a favorite destination - the same but different - kind of a like a long term relationship.
