First things first, Vegas was amazing. The strip is exactly what you think it is. The casinos are pretty much exactly as you picture them. Everything is as promised, from blackjack to the free drinks. The six of us had an amazing time capped off by an amazing steak dinner at the Bellagio, Loaded Landsharks at Margaritaville, and bottle service at the Rum Jungle. Of course there was craps, roulette, blackjack, and sports wagering, but none of that was kind enough to write a whole entry about. I finished the gambling only a little down. Much less than expected, anyway. Everything else, on the other hand, was a bit pricier than expected, but what else are you gonna do when you're acting like high rollers? (Appropriate answers include: don't go to the Bellagio for steak, don't get bottle service anywhere, and don't act like a high roller unless you're not going to notice the money!).
So then the fun and excitement moved home for a couple days. And by fun and excitement, I meant laundry, drycleaning, unpacking, and repacking. At the crack of dawn on Sunday morning I was off to the airport, heading for Edmonton for the Spring Institute associated with my Masters program.
So now, I'm here. Classes started today, and it all feels very familiar. My body is really confused having not slept enough in the last week or two, then changing time zones three times. It's good so far, and I'm sure there will be something more exciting to share later when I'm more awake, but that's it for now!
