Viva Las Vegas

As I write this I am currently sitting in my living room procrastinating.  I should be packing my bags for my flight but I have yet to even figure out what I will be taking along for my trip.

This isn’t like me.  Whenever I have traveled in the past my bags are packed days before it is time for me to go.  It may just be that I think I have this traveling thing mastered and don’t feel stressed and am not filled with worry of having forgot every minor item which in all likelihood wouldn’t be used anyways.

For my 9 day trip I intend to live out of one small backpack.  I’ve learned from previous trips that I tend to overpack.  This time I have limited myself to one backpack as a way of saving myself the checked back fee.  Hopefully I will find laundry facilities or I may end up smelling a bit ripe by the end of my journey.

We will spend 2 days in Las Vegas exploring the sights.  I am not much of a gambling man, though the urge to gamble will probably take over at some point and I will spend my $5 in a slot machine just to say I’ve done it.  I look forward to many opportunities to stand in front of the lens at all of the tourist locations along the way, especially the Welcome to Las Vegas sign.
