I arrived in Las Vegas at 10:30 local (Pacific) time on Wednesday. We made it back to our hotel (Stratosphere) in once piece to meet my friend Josh Hughey whom I had not seen in over a year. We met up with him and his girl friend along with her friends. The room wasn't ready yet (we upgraded to get a Jacuzzi) so we put our things in his suite on the 24th floor (top) and chatted for a bit before we all went to the outdoor pool / cabana on the 8th floor of the adjacent building. We had some drinks, talked, tanned, relaxed, and swam.

Later in the evening I wandered over to the Star Trek Hilton to go on the rides (Borg 4d / Klingon Encounter) and check the place out again as it's been so many years since I've been here. It's an amazing place and brings back memories from past trips and conventions that I had been to. I geeked out when I ran into "Jaws" from the James Bond movies. I got an autograph and a couple of pictures of him with me. I'll be posting those soon to the pictures section of my site. It was so cool. I also Bob May (the guy who was in the robot on 'Lost in Space.') "Danger Will Robinson, DANGER!" lol. It's been a blast. We went and ate at Quarks bar where the service was weak but the food was alright. I was invited to go out and go clubbing but it was late (for me anyway) so I decided to go back to the room, relax, and get some sleep.

Over all it was a cool day. I still can't believe that I'm in Vegas right now. This is a much needed get-away from my responsibilities, etc.

More to come!

Love,

Chris
