Vegas, baby!

My little sister lives in Las Vegas with her burgeoning family; once of three, now of four.

It is high time the little monkeys and I be off to visit that side of the Continent and welcome, in person, the youngest member of the bloodline to Life on Earth.

In keeping with the idea of "need to entertain three children under 7 years old" (not counting the baby!) we will stay, the two families, at Treasure Island. My brother-in-law, in the hotel management business, also pulled some strings to get us a cabana for the day on Wednesday at the Mandalay Bay swim area, which sounds like a true 'splash' for the little ones.

On Friday we will transfer out to a less-expensive hotel far off the Strip and close to my sister's home, and my mother will fly in to spend the rest of our week with us. We will fly back to our home on the 23rd; a nice one-week get-away for Mama Llama and the kids together with Mama Llama's clan.

I've had a physically very painful week, then went and pushed myself too far yesterday just because I felt better (stupid llama) and ended up in bed for the rest of the day. Yes, as of Friday I am taking the prescription I got Thursday from my doctor, so I am doing pretty much all I can for myself. I feel better again today and will *slowly and restfully* get things together today for our noontime departure tomorrow.

I will not bring my laptop but my iPod, so I can view blogs and shortly comment if I have patience and WiFi to do so. It is possible, albeit doubtful, I will post here unless I just need to do so.

Have a lovely mid-July week!
