Viva Las Vegas

(posted by ange)

Dave and I leave for Vegas on September 4 and lady luck has already showed her pretty little face. When I booked our 3 night getaway to Sin City a few weeks ago, it went something like this. Dave away in Hong Kong for two weeks. Me thinking Dave always gets to travel. Me wanting to go on vacation. Me whining a bit about wanting to go on vacation. Me surfing the internet looking at vacations. Me thinking how fun Vegas would be. Me talking up a trip to Vegas and looking for deals to Vegas. Me talking about the great deals I had found to Vegas. Dave agreeing that Vegas would be great and we should go – I mean we would need a vacation after moving and painting and all. Me looking further into deals. Dave and I finally agreeing that we are going, setting a date and picking Paris as our Vegas destination. Me calling the travel agent 2 days later, only to find out the Paris deal had shot up an extra $100 each. Me deciding that $100 could be better spent at the blackjack tables and settling on Bally’s instead for the original price. Me and Dave being totally psyched to go to Vegas since the day of booking!

Our tickets arrived in the mail today. I have an itinerary and hotel voucher indicating we are staying at Paris. Same confirmation number as on our receipt for the package to Bally’s (which has been paid). I don’t know who made this mistake, but it’s a damn good one! Woo-hoo…I’m going to Paris and Las Vegas all at the same time! I can only take this is a good sign. Of course, the reality is that this is the sort of thing that only happens to Dave. If my name were on the receipt, I’m sure I’d have been sent tickets to stay at Whiskey Pete’s! I’m just lucky to be with my lucky Dave and hence, reap the benefits.
