On the Road 2007, first stop Las Vegas

On May 28, we left Ventura, CA for Las Vegas, NV where we will have our DataStorm antenna repaired. For you folks that do not know what the DataStorm does, it allows us via satellite to be on-line with our two computers 24-7.

The picture of New York, New York Hotel/Casino looks very cool and inviting, do not be fooled, it was very hot and stifling with over 100 degree weather. We covered our windows with aluminum foil to keep the sun and heat out, thereby creating a cave-like existence. Not much of a vacation atmosphere and you thought we were by the pool sippin' mai tai's.

Carol Jue invited us to breakfast at the Main Street Hotel/Casino, we always enjoy our time with her as most of her time is devoted to family and coaching her Chapman University women's basketball team. The Panthers posted a 23-6 record this year with a 17 game winning streak which was broken at the NCAA Div. III championship tournament in Brownwood, TX. Congratulations to Carol on a successful season and wait until next year...

We enjoyed seeing "Stomp" at the Planet Hollywood (formerly Aladdin Hotel), they are a group of young performers that pounds on anything that makes noise and music comes out, real neat and you won't need earplugs.

We hit a few buffets at Sam's Town but was selective on our food choices, you know how it is, easy to put it on, hard to get off. Donna was busy adhering to her diet and working out at the 24 Hour Fitness. It is still our job to eat right, exercise and not to inhale too much second-hand smoke in the casinos...

We were not successful in finding someone in Las Vegas to repair our satellite antenna, we called the factory for an appointment, therefore our next stop will be Salt Lake City and MotoSat (maker of antenna).
