has been bugging me to go with him to Las Vegas (again) for the last year, or so. I just haven't had the desire to do it. If I'm climbing on a plane, it's going to be to go somewhere cool with my wife. And, Vegas ain't it.
It's a long flight from here... about 5.5 hours in the air. Plus, all the bullshit on each end, going & coming from airports. There is NFW I'd do that in steerage, either.
I burned almost all my miles for our Europe flights, so I don't really have enough, and Vegas is not worth a $1,700 flight.
That's probably the biggest thing that keeps me from doing it. I know. Pussy. But, IIWII
Today, I get an email from him.
In it were round trip FC air tickets, paid for with his miles (if I had his miles, I'd burn mine... he was George Clooney). And, a room reservation at Bellagio, for four nights this August. My hotel room is gonna be on me, though.
Fine. I have no problem paying for good hotels.
So, I have no choice but to say thank you, and go.
In truth, I'm getting a bit of a chub. We always have a great time there. I just hate making the flights.
Apparently, he called wifey, told her his plan, and they figured out what days were good for us this summer.
She has been walking around with a shit eating grin on her face for the last couple days.... now I know why. She says that the girls want to spend some time at the beach, and I am not invited... girls only. No husbands, or kids. Mom and her two daughters.
Gee.... guess what week that is going to be? LOL
That was a ray of sunshine on an otherwise rainy and miserable day!
