Spent most of the day getting familiar with the Blogging process and working on posting the unfinished days. Fortunately I keep some sketchy blog notes on my I pad so that I don't forget the things that happened that day. There were seven days to catch up on.
Sharon found some charges on her American Express card that we had to chase down. She is planning a reunion trip back to Kansas in mid July from Idaho and she made reservations for here stay in Larned at the Road Way Inn. Evidently the reservation were made for June rather than July and the charges on the card were for no-show fees. Good thing we called, we got the reservation dates squared away and a commitment to get the card charges reversed. We still need to confirm the later.
We are in Vegas, Baby, so what you do is go to the strip and see a show. We packed ourselves into the truck and headed to town. The first stop was the forum shops. Self parked across the street at Caesars and headed to the air conditioning. Getting pretty hot in Vegas even by early afternoon. We had lunch at the Cheese Cake Factory, nothing glamorous, but adequate. We had a spectacular view of the forum shops area, not. After lunch we killed time by walking all the shops, from front to back and back again, waiting for the proper time to go to the Bellagio to get our tickets to see The Show O. After getting our tickets we still had a little time to kill and we stopped by the sports bar for a beer and to watch some of the CWS. TCU was playing Mississippi. We did not get to see the whole game before the show started, we found out afterward that TCU lost and was eliminated from the tournament.
The Show O, Cirque Du Soleil, was pretty amazing. Great Seats. Lots of stuff going on in and out of the water and in the air.The theater in the Bellagio where O is performed has a 10.5 million gallon pool and I heard one of the ushers say it was either 25 or 45 feet deep to accommodate all the equipment submerged in the pool and the high dives that are done during the show. There was so much going on all the time that there was never a dull moment. I wish I knew how they did all the stuff they did, stages rising from the water, boats floating in and out to what appeared to be at times a small lake. High wire trapeze acts, high dives, quite a bit of synchronized swimming and much much more. There must have been a cast of 50 or more in the show and the scenery was incredible. There was a write up in the little magazine we got before the show about the water wardrobe. The swimmers need their costumes replaced every three months. They wouldn't let us take pictures during the show so the best I could get was the Red Curtain.
Oh, I forgot, for Father's Day, Sharon got me a nice present. Some Orange cones that we can use as a warning when our rig is in the street or somewhere else.
