Hey, Greetings from Miss Annie and Mr. Pete,
We are in Las Vegas at the Flamingo Hotel right on the "Strip". The place is unbelievable. It's huge. There are lots of people. The drive from Imperial Beach took a little over 5 hours over the desert. It's quite desolate and not much to see.
My room here is on the 19th floor and Pete is on the 25th floor. I miss the ocean but Las Vegas is impressive in a different way.
At Imperial Beach we watched 3 sunsets that took your breath away. Sunday night was the most impressive and I could have watched it forever. We had lunch one day at the most southwestern bar and grill in the United States. It was one of the best meals we've had. On the beach you could see Mexico but we didn't go because Miss Annie forgot her passport. Mr. Pete was ready and I told him to go on his own but he didn't. Mr. Pete has been truly wonderful to Miss Annie and we are having a really good time.
The room here at the Flamingo is all white and marble and is quite comfortable. I was sleeping in this morning when Mr. Pete called my room at 8am. So I watched the swearing in of a new President. Took a leisurly shower, got dressed, went downstairs and walked thru a couple of casinos, walked outside for awhile (sunshine and quite warm)played a little. Finally called Mr. Pete and he was napping (turn about is fair play). We just went to lunch at Buffalo Bills Casino, it was very good. I must say we have quite fortunate in our choices of places to eat. We haven't been disappointed yet. So now I am blogging and Mr. Pete is napping again!
I am going to take my book and go outside and sit for awhile. Tomorrow we are headed to the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon. Should be fun. Hope you are all warm and well.
Keep on Trucking! Love, Miss Annie and Mr. Pete

Great hearing from you two travelling grandparental siblings on your transcontinental jaunt! Sounds like fun, althgough that doesn't sound like a twenty-dollar room to us! Be careful, and more importantly, enjoy yourselves.

We love reading about your adventures - thanks for keeping us updated! This is fun to follow your travels.... Enjoy that sunshine and warm weather. We need to plow our driveway but are too lazy, we we just floor it and skid up the hill..... Lars is taking good care of your house and will do some serious shoveling tomorrow! Much love from snowy Richmond
ReplyDeleteIt's sounds like you're having quite a time, you two. I'm very glad that you are! Enjoy the sunshine and eateries!

While in Vegas, remember the words of John Cutter..."Well, let me give you a word of advice. Always bet on black!"
