Day Twenty-Four, Twenty-Five, May 15 & 16, 2015


LAS VEGAS
What can be said about Vegas that has not already been said.  My first visit to Las Vegas was in the summer of 1959 on a family vacation.  Since then I have visited twice and the last time was 22 years ago.  It has changed since then.  

The best thing about our visit this time is being hosted here by Ro and JD Keller, lifetime family friends of Tom and his entire family.

How can you visit Vegas without seeing and Elvis impersonator.  We certainly did at the Four Queens casino on Fremont St.

Las Vegas is another place that cannot, and need not be described, since as the saying goes ".............stays in Vegas".

Regular blog followers know that we have just about reached our final LA destination.

Time to review all previous posts to be prepared for the finale post coming in the next few days.

  3. Oh, I forgot to mention that your caption "Oh, Tom, I think I can see Russia from here." was very good when in library reading Sarah Palin's book. Leave it to you guys.
