Happy St Patrick’s Day to you! Hope you all wore green – Ken and I didn’t 🙂

Well, the flight to Salt Lake City was interminable — cramped into a seat meant for a 80lb person with a seat belt that just barely went across, it was 4 hours of misery. Then we had to gallop to another terminal to catch our connection to Las Vegas where I was again crushed into a seat too small and this seat belt wouldn’t fasten. Thankfully that flight only took 50 minutes.

Then it was a 45 minute wait for bags and another 45 minute wait for the car. They just don’t get in any hurry out here! Checking into the hotel was not very quick either despite the “Express Check In” label. Maybe I’m just too tired, but this vacation hasn’t started off as a very restful one and there’s not been much fun either. I’m pretty sure that will all change tomorrow after a good nights’ sleep and a good dinner. Our breakfast and lunch today was pretty skimpy considering we were on a plane where they no longer serve meals – only snacks so a pack of crackers, a pack of cookies and a can of cranberry juice hasn’t gone very far.

Since I realized this morning that I forgot my hairbrush, we stopped at the outlet mall that’s just outside the airport to buy me one and there we at a taco salad. It may have been the worst taco salad in the world, but at that moment in time, it was pretty darned tasty!

I called downstairs to see if they could get my dress to press it, but they told me it wouldn’t go out until tomorrow and wouldn’t be back until after 7:00 pm tomorrow and that’s too late as our chapel is booked for 7:30 and the limo is picking us up at 6:00. So I guess I go out tomorrow to find an iron 🙁

I’m supposed to be lying down and taking a nap, but I dozed on the plane, so while tired, I’m not really sleepy. I’ve caught a virus that’s making me cough like there’s no tomorrow, so my chest hurts and I’m thinking about getting in the shower and taking a long hot one to see if I can work out any of these kinks as well as some congestion.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Ken goes on his ride — I didn’t tell you, but I bought him a Richard Petty Experience for our anniversary. There just wasn’t anything he wanted that I could afford and I think he’ll have a good time doing this. While he’s at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, I’m going to the spa downstairs and have my hair and nails done — and maybe even get a massage!

Tomorrow sounds much better!

Love to all,

Margaret
