Last Day in Vegas
On my last day in Las Vegas, I once again walked a lot – about four or five miles. I thought of something I should have bought at the Star Trek place, so I caught the monorail from Harrah’s to the Hilton. I spent forever in the gift shops again, and got what I needed. … Continue reading
On Foot
I did a lot of walking yesterday – about six miles. I played on the computer for a while in the morning, had a way over-priced breakfast in the Grand Canal Shoppes, and then set out around 11:30 for the roller coaster at New York-New York. I got to the casino about 30 minutes later, … Continue reading
Showmanship
Wednesday was a day of showmanship. I did very little in the morning, just stayed close to the hotel because I knew :A:’s conference would be letting out around noon. I did make it back down to the Flamingo to take pictures in the habitat, at least. In the afternoon, we took the shuttle to … Continue reading
Star Trek Experience
We had a great time last night at the Star Trek Experience! I was practically skipping through the casino of the Las Vegas Hilton, following the signs to the attraction. We bought our tickets first, and then went downstairs to Quark’s Bar to get dinner. We decided to be brave and order a full-size Warp … Continue reading
Less Frustration, Please?
Could I please have a little less frustration on this trip? This morning I got to the Tropicana with no problems by taking a bus, but then when I went to the box office with my confirmation email there was a sign saying the Titanic exhibit was closed until further notice. The woman behind the … Continue reading
A Day at the Grand Canyon
Today we woke up insanely early (again) and stumbled over to Harrah’s to meet the bus for the Grand Canyon tour. We weren’t sure where in Harrah’s we were supposed to go, so we tried asking the first person we came to – a bartender. He had no idea what we were talking about, so … Continue reading
Not a Great First Day
Well, we made it to Las Vegas. Unfortunately I am typing this on my Sidekick, because I forgot the Ethernet port on my computer is fussy. If I have a chance and/or can figure out where to go, I will buy an ethernet PC/MCIA card to make up for it. Fortunately the 25-ft Ethernet cable … Continue reading
Waiting at the Airport
I am presently sitting at gate C17 at Dulles, waiting to get on the plane! We board in 10 minutes or so, so I’ll probably be writing this for a while. The one really important thing I forgot was my iPod sync cable. I am thinking maybe I will find one in Las Vegas (there’s … Continue reading
Gallaudet Update
Well, I have finally heard something from the Hearing Undergraduate (HUG) program at Gallaudet! Yesterday I was super excited, but today I am kind of more muted. The good news is that I did make it through the first round of cuts. Because the number of slots for hearing students is so small (only 5% … Continue reading
Two Good, One Iffy
My custom earphone kit came today; I had a problem with it and it didn’t come out quite the way I expected. They don’t take returns, but I e-mailed and let them know what happened and they’re going to replace it! I’ll reserve my review for then. I finally heard back from the farm about … Continue reading
