What’s with the Tiaras?

by

Maybe one of you can help me figure out something that we kept seeing in Vegas? Whenever we were walking the strip at night or if we were in a bar we kept seeing girls wearing tiaras? What’s up with that?

Were these girls out celebrating and having their bachlorette parties or is this a new look that I’m behind on discovering?

We did see a few brides carrying their wedding flowers. They probably got married in one of the casino wedding chapels. I didn’t realize it but there was a wedding chapel in the hotel that we stayed in, that’s why I suspect every hotel on the strip probably has one!

Chris kept seeing women that he was sure were transvestites. Yes I know there are probably a lot in Vegas, but probably not too many more than we have here in Toronto. Hopefully he didn’t mistake too many real women! LOL

I’d definitely go back to Vegas again. I’ll make sure I’m feeling 100% next time though! There’s so much to see and do that you really want to be feeling your best so that you can do as much as possible.





We’re home and I’m freezing!

We’re back from Las Vegas!

I was just saying on my gardening blog that I already miss the Vegas weather as it’s cold and dreary here in Toronto! I am, however, very glad to be home since I continued to be quite sick while I was away on my trip and managed to get even sicker!

It’s much better to be at home when you feel absolutely horrible. If my Crohn’s acting up wasn’t enough I woke up with a terribly sore throat this morning. I’ve been drinking warm liquids all day and sometimes it feels a bit better but then it gets worse again. I hope it’s just post nasal drip or something making my throat feel so bad and not strep throat or something.

Other than not feeling very well while I was in Las Vegas I managed to have a good time. I met up with some bloggers that I’ve known for years, others that I’ve only known a short while and hopefully made a few new blogging friends too.

We never managed to have time to try out the gambling in Vegas, so I missed out on that experience -gambling virgin that I am! Oh well. We did go out to a few clubs, one of which was the famous TAO nightclub at the Venetian Hotel.

TAO is huge! It’s a beautiful nightclub though, and the staff were very friendly. Oh and their finger foods were delicious! They served us spring rolls, sushi, won tons filled with shrimp and lobster, Kobe beef mini hamburgers and tiny deserts. I’m sure there were a few other finger foods that I missed too. All were delicious!

On Thursday night my husband and I got together with Mr. Fab from Pointless Drivel. He’d already eaten but he met us at the Outback while we ate. We then got in touch with some of the other bloggers that were in town for the convention and we all eventually met up at a bar called Tattoo Alley.

What a great time!

The band was fantastic and I think we all had a good time drinking and talking and joking around. My husband Chris bought a feathered boa for Mr. Fab and when the other bloggers joined up with us the boa got passed around. I think Colleen or Jules were last scene wearing it.

I’ve got lots of photos to upload and post. Some could be embarrassing to those who were with us that night! I’ll get them up soon!

More about my trip later. I’m still recovering!

I made sure I’m insured

by

Oh speaking of Vegas … I’m glad I took out medical insurance. I’ve been so sick with my crohns in the past week that I seriously thought about canceling my trip. I actually should have since I ended up having a bowel obstruction. Believe me, I don’t want to end up in a hospital in the States but if I do I did take out insurance.

I think my husband wishes we got a new term life insurance quote! He’s terrified of flying and I’m sure he thinks that something bad will happen either on the way there or the way back! Me I’m more worried that something will happen while we’re there such as me getting sicker! I’m also the worlds biggest clutz too so you just never know what will happen with me around.

Keep some good thoughts going that our flight and short stay in Vegas go well?

Leaving soon for Vegas but I’ll update!

by

Wow! In 12 hours I’ll be on a plane and headed to Las Vegas! I’m excited, thrilled and nervous all at the same time. I’m also more than a little bit exhausted after spending the majority of the day preparing for the trip!

I’ll be posting from Vegas if everything goes well. By that I mean that I really do have an internet connection in my hotel room! There’d better be! I mean, I’m bringing my laptop and it would be a real shame to bring it all that way and not be able to use it much wouldn’t it?

So keep an eye on this site and my other blogs (see blogroll for list) as I hope to do little updates on several of them depending upon what I’ve got to talk about – celebrities, night life, meeting other bloggers or the blogging convention in general.
