Viva las Vegas


What a trip to Vegas! It was by far one of the best times I've had in a long, long time. Part of it was the location, part of it was the long build up and surprise to our wives and part of it was the company. Going on a trip with another couple can be a tricky deal. Just because you like going to a movie with them won't necessarily mean you'll want to spend every minute with them for 3 days straight. Dana and Eli were the perfect couple to go on the trip with. We had the same agenda - relax and have fun with no expectations. We went with the flow and didn't really have an agenda as to what we needed to do. We spent a lot of time just hanging out at the pool relaxing, talking and laughing. We stayed out late (the first day we were up 24 hours straight and the second we got back in after they'd laid out the newspapers). I really don't know how the trip could have been more fun than we had. We ate like kings, we won at the tables and walked away with some of the best stories imaginable. We took cabs everywhere and with that came even more great stories - those told by the cabbies (one involved a lawyer, a crack pipe and a transvestite) and an experience with a cabbie doing a power slide at 80mph on the expressway as we took the wrong exit, missing construction barrels by 6 inches.

I also should mention that I'm married to the greatest woman in the world. Seriously. Hands down. I had such a blast with her. Not only did she look stunning the whole time we were there, but she had her giant smile and laugh going the whole time, which makes her 10x sexier. She relaxed with, gambled with me and had fun with me. My soul is intimately linked to this woman. No matter where I travel, unless she's with me, it's tough for me to really experience the place or the event. Having her there along side me, having all the fun with me, made this one of the best trips of my life.
