Fresh, Hot Wastes of Time

A Valentine’s Day weekend without the kids, spent in a romantic hotel.
A birthday/wedding anniversary week in Las Vegas, also without the kids, spent in a 900 square feet suite at the Treasure Island for $175 a night, and all the good things that come with a trip to Las Vegas – shows, good food, gambling, seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time, risking life and limb to get a picture of Area 51, getting my In-N-Out burger fix, and of course the possibility of winning millions of dollars – a pipe dream, to be sure, but where would the human race be if we didn’t dream?

We have three choices of transportation to Las Vegas – first class flight ($2400), Southwest Airlines cattle car ($500), or driving (about $300 in gas plus 48 hours of driving).

Southwest’s pretty safe, aren’t they? I mean, who’s going to hijack a plane and say “Take me to… Yuma! Yes, Yuma, now!”
