leaving las vegas

t minus 5 hours until the three of us say "good bye" to Las Vegas and board our plane to the North (Boston for starters - to be united with our great travel buddy "Peppin" , our car). It's hard to leave the desert and the wonder of this crazy (outacontrol city) but c'est la vie. We just soaked up the last of the available warm and sunny weather out on the lawnchairs of the famous Tropicana Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. We are having a hard time preparing to leave. Here are some highlights of the trip:

• seeing people drinking on the strip on Sunday morning
• pickles sold in a bag, with brine
• a cat in a stroller at the Grand Canyon
• man hitting wax figure in the head at Madame Tusaud's museum
• cirque de soleil "Love" show, last night!!!!!
• and getting ....................engaged at the Grand Canyon!!!!!!!!!!!!!
