Goodbye Vegas...

15th Feb, 2008

Well, we have left Vegas and have arrived in San Francisco.

After a nice buffet breakfast at The Palazzo Cafe, our final day in Las Vegas saw the girls take off to do some shopping, again, whilst Clive and I stood in a line for an hour to get some show tickets. We obtained tickets to see 'Stomp Out Loud', then we had to get to Planet Hollywood Casino where the show was playing to pick up the actual tickets and get seating. The whole process took about 3 hours, but as devoted husbands we didn't complain......much.

Both girls came back from the shops modelling new jackets/coats. Clive wanted to know why Lorraine needed a 'raincoat' and in his typical shyte stirring way has managed to slip the word 'raincoat' into every second sentence the past 24 hours. For those that know Clive, I'm sure you can just hear him saying it as you read. BTW, it's a lovely jacket and Lorraine has told Clive "It's called style Clive, you wouldn't understand".

'Stomping Out Loud' was brilliant. It ran for 90 minutes and not one word was spoken nor sung. It was a group of young dancers/musicians/performers that used everyday items to compose music and melody. It was just so well done.

After the show we had dinner at The Bellagio, watched the dancing waters show before casino hopping our way back to our suites at 2am.

Hi All,
Sounds like your having a ball.
In true style Lorraine is hitting the shops but I dont hear any mention of shoes !yet!!.
Keep up the good work Bob there are more people than you think waiting your installments on the blog. I think we have found a new career for you, really enjoying it, although I think the white stuff will slow down the blog you won't get off the slopes.
Bye - Janet

Hi Guys

I really hope that Aunty Janet isn't correct when she says the the skiing will slow down the blog installments. I love reading what you guys are up to... and besides that it means I won't have to sit thru endless recounts of each and every story a zillion times when you come home. No! really. I don't mind.

Hope that San Francisco also provides great shopping venues for you Mum and Didi (subliminal message: "Must buy Brenda something really nice and expensive"). Also, if you happen to come across a Michael's Store (sort of like Spotlight), anything from the Martha Stewart Scrapbook section would be great!!!!

Bob, the pics look great. The Blog is even better. I am loving it.

Dad, patient as always... waiting in a queue for hours on end. Ever teh devoted husband. I know your hanging out for the white stuff. That's when you will "break out".

Lots of Love to you all
Brenda, Darren, Riley & Kody
