A-worry-a-day: Vegas: Day 1
http://a-worry-a-day.blogspot.com/2008/08/vegas-day-1.html
Friday, August 29, 2008. Per usual, I am behind on posting about our recent trip to Vegas so I will attempt to do it in pieces. This was our fifth trip in as many years, and the longest we've stayed there (5 nights). It was also our first late-summer visit. Temperatures ran in the triple digits the entire time we were there, which didn't bother us at all. Day 1: Sunday, August 17th. We landed in Vegas around 12:45 and at the baggage claim I ran into an old co-worker. Pleasantly random! Restaurant, new si...

A-worry-a-day: May 2008
http://a-worry-a-day.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 20, 2008. A princess, a show and some noodles. Yesterday I finished reading Pauahi: The Kamehameha Legacy by George Hueu Sanford Kanahele. The free book I received from the Kamehameha schools as an incentive for completing one of their on-line courses. The book seems designed to reach out to the kids in the school system, to invoke in them a sense of pride in the woman who founded the Kamehameha Schools. We met up with our friends Jason and Jayson, who we hadn't seen in quite some time for d...

A-worry-a-day: April 2008

Tuesday, April 8, 2008. Talking Story, eating chicken, getting woo-woo. On Sunday I finished reading Hotel Honolulu. While a bit long for a novel, it turned out be a fairly quick and breezy read, and all-in-all supremely entertaining. That first paragraph did not lead to disappointment! The story centers around the unnamed narrator (seemingly close in nature to the actual author, Paul Theroux. Millionaire named Buddy Hamstra. Buddy ends up figuring into the story heavily, particularly in the final third.

A-worry-a-day: December 2007
http://a-worry-a-day.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 11, 2007. Tell, eat, give. Note: This post is several days late due to a family emergency. Most of it was ready to go last week and I just had to add in some pictures). Our neighborhood is starting to light up! We had to put more lights to keep up. We then took pictures so my dad could see. This year it was hosted by Dan's Aunt Ellen and Uncle Jim, a delightful couple who raise Irish Wolfhounds. There are like 8 of them living in their house right now! My favorite: Okinawan sweet-potato...

A-worry-a-day: Vegas: Day 5
http://a-worry-a-day.blogspot.com/2008/08/vegas-day-5.html
Sunday, August 31, 2008. Thursday would be our last full day, and last night in Vegas. After a return to Starbuck's in the morning for my iced coffee fix, we caught a cab to the Las Vegas Natural History Museum. Our primary reason for the trip was to view the traveling exhibit on Forensic Entomoloy since Dan studied Entomology in college and loves all things bug-related. It turned out it was a pretty neat museum, with an impressive display of taxidermy and some well-executed living history exhibits.

A-worry-a-day: Vegas: Day 6
http://a-worry-a-day.blogspot.com/2008/08/vegas-day-6.html
Sunday, August 31, 2008. Friday we packed up, checked out (11am) and left our bags with the Bell hop. Our flight wasn't until 3:30 so we had some time before we had to be at the airport. And that was our last indulgence in Vegas. Our flight had us back in Seattle that night at 6, a welcome change from most of our recent trips that get us back after dark. We returned to a very needy cat, ate Taco Bell (tradition for returning home from travels) and caught up on TV. Oh yeah, Vegas doesn't really recycle.

A-worry-a-day: June 2008
http://a-worry-a-day.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 26, 2008. It's been some time since I've posted anything so I thought I'd quickly get back in the rhythm of things. The month or so leading up to the wedding was pretty busy, attending to many details and plans. Everything turned out, well, perfect. Just as I had imagined it. All the planning really paid off in the end. It was a beautiful time, a trip of a lifetime really. I will post more about it, and Dan and I are also going to work on a new blog just for our Hawaiian adventures.

A-worry-a-day: Vegas: Day 4
http://a-worry-a-day.blogspot.com/2008/08/vegas-day-4.html
Sunday, August 31, 2008. We spent the late morning strolling up and down the Strip, checking out the new Palazzo. Casino Hotel, an expansion of the Venetian. Nicely done, very upscale. Nursing minor sunburns and weathering the heat, we stopped at La Salsa Cantina in the Forum Shops. She also recommended we check out the Atrium at the Bellagio to see the train exhibit. It was very cute - and popular! Then it was back to the MGM Grand, as we had tickets to see Cirque du Soleil's Ka. Mid Beacon Hill Blog.
