Hi! I’m back online. We left Laughlin this morning and we are now in Las Vegas. Las Vegas for a whole month! Is anyone going to be in Vegas within the next 30 days?? Let me know!

Okay, first off, I think I will be turning the clock and I’ll be doing my blog postings during the day because we will all be running around wildly at night.

I wanted to show you some pictures from Laughlin!

See us? Second one in from the right…….

Laughlin sits on the Colorado River. So pretty…..

These next pictures are pictures I took with my Blackberry camera! Not too bad for a Blackberry, but I’m sure you can tell the difference between my camera and the Blackberry!

So those are my Laughlin pictures and we did have a great time there.

We are parked and set up in Las Vegas and I can not wait to hit the door running! I’ll bring my camera and show you everything I see.

It’s raining here now and it’s suppose to be raining until Friday.

Hope you are all doing good and thanks for checking on me. Have a great night!

Last day in Laughlin

Hi! Wow, we walked a lot today. There’s no shuttle or bus that takes you from casino to casino here, my poor feet. I don’t know how I’ll manage walking around Vegas. Oh, I won’t have to because my unlimited access month bus pass will be my best friend!! Ha!
Okay, today was a great day. Woke up feeling on top of the world ready to take on the casinos and mission accomplished! I won so much money, I gave some to Mom and Dad and took them to dinner tonight at one of the casinos buffet restaurant.
I also took Jake for a walk along the river boardwalk and got some great pictures along the way! I will have internet in Vegas to start posting pictures on my blog again.
Typical gambling day and being a typical tourist! Las Vegas here we come! Tell me, tell me, will you be in Las Vegas within the next 30 days?? Let me knowwwww….. I’ll buy you a free Margarita!!! Have a great night, I’m off to bed and can’t wait for tomorrow!

Loving Laughlin!

Hello! You still with me?? That’s good – thanks! We are in Laughlin and loving it. I know what you are thing….She must of won something. You betcha I did. I won 500 dollars on the Wheel of Fortune slot machine on one spin and I won 98 dollars on Keno tonight. Last night when we got here I didn’t win, I lost 80 bucks.
So what did we do today? Took Jake for a walk, went to the casino, took Jake for a walk, fed Jake, watched TV, went to the casino, and tonight I took Jake for a walk and fed Jake! Life is pretty simple here.
We ate lunch today at the Tropicana Casino at their 24 hour diner and it was delicious. Wish I could remember the name of it but the food and staff were super!
The temperature is dropping….not too keen about that and it makes me think about my family and friends back home! I know how you feel!!! Okay, maybe not. I tried to relate.
Gosh, I wish I could write more but everything is pretty simple here. Hope you all are doing good. Oh, and now we have a three hour difference between here and back home.
Well, I’m off to bed and tomorrow I’ll be back. You probably can expect the same routine tomorrow from me. Have a great night. I’ve got to get the extra blanket out now.

Welcome to Laughlin!

Hello and Welcome to Laughlin, Nevada! We have no internet access here so I am updating my blog from my Blackberry.
We left Yuma at around 10am and took our time getting to Laughlin at around 3:30. We stopped at Parker, Arizona to a casino named Blue Water. We have never been there before. It’s a tiny casino and there’s not much too it. It’s easy access from 95 (Nevada side, not California side). Nothing to really brag about there. We spent about an hour there and moved on.
So, we have reached Laughlin and I do love this place. I did get awesome pictures today but you’ll have to wait for me to catch a WiFi to see them on my blog.
We found a nice spot in an RV park here in Laughlin and it was enough space to back up the Montana and not have to unhook the truck. We are walking distance across the street from the casino. On Casino Drive, the street that we are staying on has about 7 or 8 casinos on it. We can easily walk to about five casino but the ones at the end of the Casino Drive is a little further out for walking distance.
Anyways, we are in Laughlin until Monday and then moving northbound to Vegas for about a month. I saw on the weather channel that there is rain in the forecast in Laughlin and Vegas for Monday thru Thursday. It’s okay with us because we are going to each buy a monthly unlimited access bus pass in Vegas for $55 to get around. Not a bad deal at all.
Tonight we visited two casinos and I lost about $40 overall. I’ll try to win something from the slot machines tomorrow. Tomorrow morning we are taking Jake for a walk along the boardwalk that runs right between the casinos and the Colorado River. I’ll bring my camera with me to catch some beautiful shots of the Colorado River and the casinos.
Well, I am a tad tired so I’m signing off for the night. I’ll be back tomorrow. As for my healing from my bike accident on Monday, everything is pretty much healed up and I can see that I will hold scars to never let me forget what happened. Jake’s doing awesome too. He’s asleep on the couch next to me. Have a great night!

Moving on…..

Hello! Yes, we are moving on…..leaving Arizona tomorrow for Laughlin, Nevada (<- click for Laughlin tourism website). I love Laughlin, there are about seven or eight casinos that sit on the edge of the Colorado River in Laughlin. I will get pictures to show you how pretty the Colorado River is. I’ve been to Laughlin before and I always look forward to going back. There is an RV park across the street from one of the casinos that we stay at. The RV park does have a paid internet router service but I will not be hooking up to it because we are only staying in Laughlin for two days. There’s really not a whole lot to do in Laughlin but if you are a casino lover – you are in heaven. The pictures I will take will have to wait to be posted when I get to Vegas next week because I can blog to you on my Blackberry everyday but can’t post pictures on my blog from my Blackberry (bummer).

So, what did we do today? Packed up a little bit. It was a tad windy today with winds getting up to 30 mph. We loaded the bicycles on the RV and packed away the outside table and all the chairs. We are not in a rush to leave in the morning. Laughlin is a little over 200 miles from Yuma! Easy skip over to there. Tonight we went to the Quechan Casino, ugh, I didn’t do too well at all there today, lost about 100 bucks.

As for Jake, he’s doing super! He eats his new food twice a day, takes his medicine twice a day and has a treat once a day. I got two emails today asking how he’s doing. I’ve got people calling me “Crash” and asking how Jake is doing. “Hey Crash, how is Jake doing?” Nice, huh? I’ve got great friends! In the slight chance that you were wonder how I’m doing. I’m doing great. Healing nicely, the hand and knee will take a little longer to get better, but I can walk just fine. Don’t need a disability plaque card just yet

All in all, everything is great. Arizona was fun and we did a lot, but time to move on. Hope everyone is doing good and thanks for checking on me (or checking on Jake!) – LOL!
