LOOK OUT LAS VEGAS....WE'RE BACK !!

The Divas arrive....Friday, May 21, 1999

We had an uneventful landing at the Las Vegas Airport and were soon off the plane and waiting for our luggage all the while looking for Tim. Tess got her two suitcases right away, FB got one and was patiently awaiting the arrival of the second.... While we were waiting, we were practically tackled by ......you got it....... Tim AND NICK!! The look on Tess's face was hilarious.... remember, just a few hours earlier, Tim had told us on the phone that Nick wasn't going to make it to the airport at all. We hugged and kissed and smiled and laughed and continued waiting for FB's missing suitcase. We finally gave up, reported the missing suitcase and piled into Tim's car and headed for Fitzgeralds Hotel in Downtown Las Vegas.

We relaxed a bit and had some wine and FB promptly passed out on the bed. Those tranqs work, but boy, do they zap all the energy out of you. Roger was due to arrive at the airport at 6:38 pm and FB and Tim didn't leave the hotel until 6:30 to pick him up. Thank god his flight was delayed. He actually didn't arrive until 7:10, so that gave FB a few extra minutes to pace back and forth and wear a path in the airport carpet. Finally, after 17 hours of travel, RP has arrived and was greeted with a big hug and kiss from a very happy FB!! We went straight to the bar for a drink and a couple of cigarettes before heading to the hotel to meet back up with Nick and Tess. Roger went to put his luggage in his room, and upon opening the door discovered that all the furniture was not where it should have been and the heat was blasting instead of the air conditioning.....Looks like Nick paid a little visit to Rogers room before he arrived.....LOL. What a welcome !! We introduced Roger to Nick and Tess and had a glass of wine and then went out for a bite to eat.

And again, Nick gets his face in front of mine!!!!!!!!!

Two very happy Divas !!!!!!!!!!!

We were all pretty knackered (Brit speak for exhausted), so we went back to the hotel to crash. Well, that was our intention anyway, but FB and Roger ended up staying up and playing crib for a while. Yes, real crib, with real cards and a real crib board, and OY !! having to count points when you're tired isn't easy!! Oh yeah, almost forgot, my missing suitcase was finally delivered to the hotel. Thank god, because my blow dryer was in there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saturday, May 22, 1999

On Saturday morning, Roger and I were the first ones up and about.... so we played a few games of crib and then went for a nice early breakfast and a walk on Freemont Street. Poor Roger had to listen to me tell him over and over again how glad I was that he was actually there. I didn't think there would ever be a time when we would both be in the same time zone as there's an 8 hour time difference between British Columbia and England. We talked and ate breakfast and then went back to the hotel to meet up with Tim, Tess and Nick.

On the 2nd floor balcony of Fitzgeralds.

Later in the day, we went for a drive to Sam's Town for their buffet lunch at Nick's suggestion. According to Nick, they had a great buffet and desserts to die for !!!! And he was right!!!! Roger was amazed at how much Tim could eat, and proceeded to refer to him as Two Dinners Tim.....LOL. We had a delicious lunch there and then headed back to the hotel. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing and talking and playing some crib. That night, Roger and I went to dinner and Tim, Tess and Nick went out and played pool with Tim's brother and his wife.
