Best Vacation EVER!!!

Sorry for the late blog folks. I thought I had banked a few blogs in anticipation of my vacation and that I knew I would be too tired to blog.

I won't give a full fledged recap (to protect the person I went on this trip with) but I will hit the highlights of why this trip qualifies for one of the best vacations I have ever taken.

1. As always, we stayed in a great condo. I *heart* timeshare condos for vacation lodging.

2. We found a casino whose sports book pays on ties for parlays. They also do 6, 6.5 and 7 point teasers (You gotta be in to sports gambling to understand the significance of that.) I will be going back there to gamble.

3. We went indoor skydiving. I loved it so much I want to go skydiving for real in some place exotic like Costa Rica.

4. I did things and went places I had never done or gone before on all my previous trips to Las Vegas.

5. I took my first helicopter over Hoover Dam. And my travel buddy got to fly the helicopter. If he ever gives me his permission I will post the pictures.

I could list 20 highlights...easy...but I'll keep it short and simple to just 5.

As always I left my Vegas vacation happy and I'm already longing to go back. But I'm looking forward to 2010 in Las Vegas. It will be like a brand new city to me with all the changes coming. They are building new casinos, a new indoor water park and an indoor ski resort...you heard me, indoor skiing in the middle of the desert.

So I'm going to list 5 things I would like to do when I go back to Las Vegas in 2010...yes I said 2010 not 2009.

1. See O and/or La Reve.

2. Visit the Grand Canyon.

3. Visit the new indoor water park.

4. Check out the new City Center.

5. Go to a club and a restaurant that I have never been to before...there are plenty of options for that in Vegas.

What's your best vacation?
