Well, back from my trip and back to the blog. Trip was pretty decent, though it could have been more productive than it actually was. Figured since I was invited that I wouldn't have spent so much time by myself, but alas that was not the case. Alone time was good though. Did some reading, reflecting, thinking and just chilling out and not being bothered by anything or anyone. It meant I didn't have to go by anyone's schedule but my own...except for Saturday night which I was kind of not so happy about. Went to a show around 10:00, did a little touristy stuff and then hung out in a friend's friend's backyard. I could have done that at home, seriously. It was cool meeting his friend and all but there were other things I could have had more fun doing instead of watching people in a jacuzzi.

In reality, I had an awesome time the first night I got there before my friends were even in the state yet. They were supposed to come in at 12 on Friday night. So I had a ticket to a show...Cirque du Soleil / Mystere, which was absolutely fabulous and should be seen by anyone who has the chance. Figured I'd go to that, Chill out for a little bit and by the time I lost some money, which is what ended up happening, it wouldn't be long until they got there. Wrong answer... 12:45, nothing.... 1:00...still nothing. So I went to a bar that was close by and hung out by myself for a bit...Dueling pianos on stage changing the words to songs and making them hysterical and uber perverted....(Hmmm reminds me of a few people... lol). Met this guy, we'll call him cm, who was really nice. He was there wiht a party of 6 for a bachelor party, but the celebrator got obliterated and taken back to the hotel, leaving cm at the bar, not ready to go in yet. I had seen the bachelor earlier and he was really not in good shape, it would prove to be one of those foggy drinking nights for him. Anyhow, cm and I started talking, met some chick that was taken on vacation by her dad for her 21st b-day, bought her a shot. The place we were at started to empty out and the dj sucked royally, so the two of us packed up and headed to club. Line was too long to get in, it wrapped around the whole freakin' casino! At this point my feet were almost bleeding from the stupid shoes I had on so he offered to pay for a cab to check out another club. We went, got a little tipsy...danced a little...did some people watching...caught another cab and got walked back to my place at 6 in the morning...that made it 9 a.m. here and it made cindo a very sleepy girl that was ready for bed.

Woke up around 12 on Saturday and had a little bit of a headache so I went back to sleep for another 2 hours. Spoke to cm who came to hang out at a casino right by my hotel. Met up with him, the pooka and pbf. Went to a shark exhibit, gambled a little bit, went back to my place and then did the whole comedy show/backyard thing...see above. Was supposed to meet up with cm after the concert he went to. That was before I found out about the exciting evening I was about to partake in. CM was leaving to go back home the next day and by the time I actually got back to the strip it was too late. It's really too bad, I enjoyed his company. It's also too bad that the dude lives 3000 miles away.

AAAAARGHHH....work calls, I'll have to finish up about the trip tomorrow.
