General Chit Chat / Hello, Long time, no see...
July 25, 2023, 04:55:40 AM
Hello, Can't remember my last visit here. Got the email yesterday about having to change passwords.

Hope everyone is well!

2023 started out great: our first Vegas trip in 4 years; new contracts at work= 6.75% raise for both of us; and a BC Road trip to visit family and friends.

BUT: My wifes cancer returned. (2020 was hell). But, it's very treatable, and we're staying positive. She's undergone 4 rounds of chemo so far this year, hoping only 2 more rounds to go.

TransLink continues to slowly move forward with their 10 year plan to double bus service in the region.

Happy 2023!

There is LOTS to see and do in Vegas; the sights, the sounds, the shopping, the food/dining options; the shows...



Avoid Summer, unless you like it toasty hot

We're sold.....just kidding, but I will take a look..



Las Vegas isn't too far from the Gran Canyon too I believe.


And, there are non casino hotels too...



Most casino hotels add a nightly "resort fee" of between $25-50+ per night, in addition to posted rates.

If you ever gamble in Vegas, even just a little, sign up for the free players rewards cards. Earn points towards free play, free meals, and discount rooms. We LOVE http://www.totalrewards.com">www.totalrewards.com which is for all of the Caesars & Harrahs properties; The MGM properties have Mlife, and *thats* what we've booked our 4 free nights with in March. The room is free, BUT they still charge you the nightly resort fee, anywhere from $25 thru $50 a night.

I've never been to Las Vegas......I've never gambled.


Any desire to visit Vegas?

Going on any trips this summer Super?



We're going camping in Kananaskis..



Most summers we go to the Kootenays, but gasoline for our motorhome is so expensive.


We did a 2 night getaway in March (Vancouver Island) and a 3 night getaway a month ago (Okanagan). The Mrs is waiting for a surgery date. We have 3 week off in Sept (Had booked, and then canceled a cruise), but no plans until this surgery and recovery are over.



If I have any unused vacation days left in December, we might get away for a few nights.



Keep getting offers for free nights in Vegas, currently booked in March, but can cancel if we don't go.
