I write this from the 27th floor of the Flamingo Hotel in Vegas. Now you might ask, what is a schmuck like me doing up on the high floors? Some mix up, I assure you.
It took me, no joke 10 minutes to explore this "room". I just got out of the jacuzzi after a nice soak (I ran this morning in Balboa Park in San Diego, fantastic run, but appartently running outdoors uses slightly different muscles than my treadmill...I am- or was a bit achy...). I've got two tvs, two bathrooms, a couple of sitting areas for entertaining. I honestly suspected I would find a naked women in the bed. This place is bigger than our apt in CA.
My whirlwind tour of CA, Mexico and Vegas was not as smooth as butter. For example, the rental car developed a fun (but deadly) pulsing on the left front brake that continued after braking... So they tried to stick us in the this chevy something. Now, I am not a midget by any stretch of the mind, but my collegue and I would have to sit single file and coordinate leaning on the turns.
Long beach is beautiful by the way. Had drinks with clients at the seaport (which is on the Long Beach Grand Prix route, they had the fences up, good things no cops were around...). View of the Queen Mary, no not the girl, the ship. Nice. Beautiful weather, really makes me miss SoCal.
But you can't go home again, I learned our favorite restraunt in Old Town changed hands and is not the happening place it once was.
Another 24hrs and I'll be on the road back home from JFK. Fun. Hope your week is this entertaining...
