A New Year

Well it has been a while since I have been here. Christmas has come and gone. It turned out well. We managed to get to everyone and not be too stressed out. DOug and Reilly did the polar bear swim again this year. New Years was quiet for me again as i worked the next day. I did not make resolutions this year exactly, just a few things to work towards.
Rory had seizures prior to Christmas and had to have his meds upped again. Then the monday before we went on our vacation he seizured again. Meds were upped again. So I was nervous as we left on our trip to Las Vegas. He was at the kennel where he was safe but I would have felt much better if his meds were balanced. We left Jan 11 in the evening to Vegas with our friends Paul and Bonnie. Doug and I stayed at the Luxor. It was nice enough but we would probably not stay there again.
We wandered the strip, did some gambling, wandered thru most of the main casinos. We did the dinner theatre at the Excalibur, nothing like eating with your hands and watching men on horses duking it out, watched the water show at the Bellagio, the pirate show at the TI, took in the Folies Bergeres at the Tropicana (topless of course), went thru Madame Tausauds, did some shopping, sampled pops at the COKE store,the others did rides at the Stratosphere and the rollercoaster at New York, New York.
The weather was warm and sunny, perfect for wandering the strip and drinking some beverages. We did not check the airport before we left so when we went to check in for our return trip we discovered that our flight was canceled due to fog in Kelowna. So Westjet put us up at the Hyatt Place. We decided to take a friday night flight so that we had one more day in Vegas. We rented a car in the morning and headed off to the Hoover Dam. The weather was wonderful. We did get to Red Rock Canyon but late in the day so it got dark quickly. Our drive back to the airport took longer than planned as so many roads were under construction. Our flight to Vancouver was delayed but we did make it there. We were put up for one more night there and after calling to find an earlier flight home, made it back to Kelowna on saturday. A day delayed for work for Doug and I but as it was foggy in Van were happy to get home. Westjet treated us well.
Now were are back to work and missing the sunny days as it is socked in cloudy here.
