Pretty great birthday

We finally made it to Las Vegas!

We Were lucky enough to be able to check into or room early plus get an upgrade. We are also scheduled  late check out at no extra charge!  The view from our room is amazing! !! Oh.... and did inmention free? !?!? Yeah our cabbie referred to our hotel as oneof the best in town. It would have been over $300 a night! Plus it is smarter than I am! Everything from lights to erunthe Aubrie is condoled by a touch Screen.

The tub in our hotel is HUGE! I may have taken a couple of baths. It was too amazing not to!

I had no problem playing up the birthday girl sctick Complete with hat and pin. It earned me free shots, slot play AND a baloon hat.

The hubby picked up amazing deserts for my birthday!

I won't lie after being up for so long- by 9pm Vegas time (12am East coast time) I was ready for sleep. Usually on vacation we take a 3pm power nap. We did not. We will have to remember that today.

VIVA LAS VEGAS!

Get me to Las Vegas!

Here we go again! Another Vacation to Las Vegas!

People may be jealous.You shouldn't be. At least not yet.We haven't arrived. Wa are stucK. Stuck in Newark. Yes Children. I broke my Rule and flew through Newark... AGAIN! We should have learned the last time we flew through Newark that it would be a big Shit show.

Quick recap... We were flying back from Maine I think it may have been on a birthday trip too..on our way back on flight from Newark to Maine was canceled.I was on aThursday I bdole. they told us they couldn't get us out until MONDAY! We rented a car & drove back. It Was terrible. we had to step at a hotel because I was so tired I started crying.

Fast forward five years. Flights on time to Newark have been on time all damn day. ' I am attempting to be hopeful. THEN shit gets real! Flight Delayed. Air Traffic Control 41min! That IS less time than we have between fights. I flip out. I'm on the phone with the airline. They are beyond unhelpful. The agent had the nerve to aske if my dates Were flexible!?!? Think about this... MOST Americans take only so much vacation time a year. No my dates ARE NOT FUCKING FLEXABLE!!

The guy at the airport booth thinks we might just make it. Well..we missed it. It was late leaving Newark, but not hate enough! We Missed it by about 15 min when we finally taxied in.

The airline would see what they could do to could do get us in the next day-They would not pay for a room because it was an ATF Issue. AT this point I had to walk away and let my dear husband deal with it. I was at a point where I would say something that I would regret.

So overnight stay in Newark. Luckily, our fabulous travel agent (with help from her daughter, one of our best friends) booked a room with a free shuttle to sleep we didn't have to stay at the airport.

I was still mad and frankly ready to fly backto Maine and Say fuck the whole trip. once I calmed down I called our hotel to cancel the  reservations for today. I was especially bummed because Sunday we were  staying at a newer fabulous hotel. They were beyond nice. They rebooked everything a day later. It allowed us to still get the night free and our other to booked nights free as well.

Here we are row- Stanby to get into Vegas by 1030am and Confirmed by 230 pm.

Here is to hoping for the earlier flight and no more issues. -. because.. - IT IS MY BIRTHDAY BITCHES!!
