I am back from an extremely refreshing trip. To LAS VEGAS.
My grandmother - Dad's side - works for a pretty cool company, and they were paying her way to a trip to a conference. And she invited me along, since she could bring along one other person.
Personally, it was awesome. Since I don't want to give this word congestion, I'll just summarize into chunks.
Day one:
- Woke up at Ungodly Hour in the morning.
- Grandma came over, and Mom took us to the airport.
- We got onto the plane in time. We were seated, had our stuff stored in the above compartment.
- The plane ride was kinda rough. A lot of people felt nauseous on the plane, but I don't think people got sick.
- Landed in Las Vegas. The airport and weather was beautiful. We got a neat cab to take us to the hotel.
- It was called the Southpoint Hotel, and oh wow, it was beautiful. I loved it.
- We went to lunch later on. It was a five star place, and it was in Caesar's Palace. This place.
- I learned about the company and my grandmother's blood disease, and I spoke with the CEO. One on one. He was extremely polite and very interesting.
- We sat and watched the people walking around the forum shops. It was beautiful.
- Grandma wasn't feeling too good, so later she rested in the hotel room and I investigated the hotel. It was beautiful.
- I played in the arcade, and I crawled back into the hotel room around... well, Grandma said it was about four a.m. VEGAS, C'MON.
Day Two:
- This was a big conference day. Basically we went around to investigate the different medications for the disease she has. We had a nice lunch.
- I was pushing her downstairs and I saw the stables for the equestrian center. (This is the only hotel in Las Vegas that has an equestrian center) I passed by and I saw a beautiful horse. A guy let me go into the stable, and the people that owned the horse said it was okay for me to pet him. A little corgi was trotting around there too, and I scritched him a little. It made my day.
- Later, we had wonderful room service. The food was delicious and we had tiny little tobasco bottles and stuff. But other stuff. Everything was wonderful.
- I wandered around the hotel again, and I got hugged by a very pretty, very drunk girl. She told me cheerfully that she was getting married that night. I wanted to ask whether or not it was someone she knew before then, but I just told her congratulations.
Day Three:
- I helped pack, and later on, we went to another great restaurant. It was on the strip, and the food was... oh, wow. Delicious. Grandma thought that it was a lawyer's office first. But the restaurant was lovely inside, and the food was lovely...
- It was our shortest day in Vegas, and we left after we ate. We were at the airport and a really nice guy helped me with Grandma - I wasn't able to push the wheelchair and pull the luggage all at once. We got home at about eleven. Mom picked us up at the airport at about twelve fifteen or so.
I arrived at the nose-end of my birthday. It was a great present.
Also, I feel a little more... refreshed now, if that makes sense. I was starting to get wanderlust extremely bad, and this was a good help. I feel better, like I can start writing again. Grandma said that if I wanted to, I can go with her to Jacksonville, Florida, and Chattanooga, Tennessee. And I do! This was a great trip, though.
