Wednesday January 10th 2018

The weather is back to above average. The sun was bright in the sky, the temperature was in the mid sixties and the wind was only a gentle breeze. I got back into the swing of an active life.

I’m now in my final week here in Las Vegas. I move east to Arizona next Wednesday. My first reservation is for three nights on the Colorado River about 175 miles away. Over the last couple of days I’ve finalized the general location and duration of my stops going east. I’ll spend about a week east of Tuscon Arizona followed by a few days in Las Cruces New Mexico. A couple of more days on the road and I’ll spend a week in San Antonio Texas. The last long stop before Florida on the eastbound trip will be in the Baton Rouge Louisiana area. Tomorrow and Friday I’ll lock in reservations. So far all I’ve done is confirmed that there are spaces available at RV resorts in the area. The cheaper alternatives will take a phone call or two to confirm.

This is a Chinese Lantern not a sculpture of a jelly fish. Las Vegas is starting to decorate for the Chinese New Year; the year of the dog.

Today I got back on track with the errands and shopping that I’ve planned to do while in Las Vegas. With the kids back in school after the holidays, the stores are a little more user friendly. I also stopped in at Sam’s Town for the last “Young at Hearts” day during my stay in town. I put in enough play on the slot machines to get the “free” dinner buffet. Tonight I focused on the Italian part of the buffet. The spaghetti with Italian sausage, peppers and onions was pretty good for a buffet. Desert was a slice of Apple pie and a couple of cookies.
