Notes from the Road!!!

What else could be better besides the open road and a map to Las Vegas????
I had a great week away just doing whatever! I got to see some great scenery across 5 states and lots of new experiences. California coast, lights of Las Vegas, Hoover Dam with lots more in between. After a few stops by Border Patrol and actually believed to be a US Citizen...lol First trip to the West Coast - only thing I have to say negative is not enough time. Had some good ol' Cali-Mex food (not Tex-Mex for once), fish tacos and hung out on Ocean Beach in San Deigo. Las Vegas was great, exciting and so much to see. We casino hopped, tried new foods and had some drinks and slots. Even though Lady Luck was not on my side or anywhere near me for that matter it was a blast. Lions, tigers and dolphins oh my!! I got to hold a lion cub at MGM Grand - most likely a once in a lifetime experience. Up close to dolphins and tigers at The Mirage. I took a quick elevator trip 540 feet in the air for some great views from the Paris Eiffel Tower. Back on the road and some great scenic views to Arizona. I got to spent some quick visits with long lost family - grandmother, Aunt, Uncle and cousins in Arizona. It was great and felt nowhere like it had been 2+ decades of in person visting! I miss them and will be definitely going back in the Spring. This week was definitely an eye opening experience with lots of time to think about lots of stuff. What's next???
