Guess who just took down the 3pm Ceasars Palace? (brag post)

[totalise]

go play some blackjack, earn some comp points for the next time ur in vegas, ie, when u go and win the ladies WSOP event.

I might look daft, but I'm not. Gambling aint my thing...lol There is no way in a million years I'd play blackjack...lol As for the ladies WSOP, its tempting but could I do the flights again? It's nearly killed me and I'm really not a good traveller. Why can some folk sleep when travelling and some can't? I'm so jealous of those who can! Still, I might do some sats and see how I get on:)

well if you do end up playing, let us know, coz I'll have a stiff bet on you winning it

DO the helicopter tour of the canyon, probably the scariest yet most exciting thing i have ever done in my life ... you will remember it forever.

I cried when we landed in the canyon.

Took some great pictures overlooking the river - hell of a drop -  how I wish I'd asked my Ex to step back just once more......

You are one funny woman:) I laughed when I read that    I had a wee emotional turn too. I got to wander on my own when we landed and did a bit of self reflection. I asked all the gods (whoever they are) and mother nature to make sure my mum was safe wherever she is and to make sure she was walking a good path in the next life, whatever that may be. Its funny how the heartstrings play when the you are faced with things that are much older and wiser than you could ever be:) That canyon is billions of years old and has probably heard a billion prayers and stories. I hope it heard mines today:)

I know exactly what you mean. It's not until you visit somewhere like that you realise that the native american Indians might know what they are talking about - it's quite spiritual.
