Jaqys - dusting off the diary

[jaqys]

My coach is something like 2:30am on sunday morning so no doubt I'll be sleeping on the flight. I hope to sleep on the second leg (no in flight entertainment) and watch a tonne of films on the first but think they may send me to sleep.

Just got the 'no upgrades available' email from the airline - boo hiss, actually I dont mind, I've got leg room seats both flights out despite having short legs

Pics will probs end up on facebook http://tiny.cc/y6mps if you want to add me, yes my name is nothing like the one I use here Theres lotsa previous vegas pics on there too.

Massive thanks to everyone helping me get this far, I'm almost half way to conso and dont think I'd have managed it without any of you.

Hope lots of you are still here when I get back to make sure I get back on the wagon and dont blow it off because Xmas is coming etc.

Aaaaaand on to the not so good

Some menus for your noseyness

These 2 I'll be off the rails at, I have coupons with minimum spend requirements and will be enjoying without worry.

I'll also go to BB kings for breakfast to try chicken and waffles which i've wanted to try since I first saw hairspray, no doubt i'll be utterly disgusted and only eat 2 bites

I'll spend a few meals here - and enjoy their brews

especially the late night deals on steak and eggs, there are a few places on the strip that do it too, great for jetlagged days if I skip the toast and potatoes some places its as low as $4:99 before 6am.

No doubt I'll end up at Mon Ami Gabi to eat outside opposite the fountains, and enjoy their Moules and a fountain show (cant find menu right now ).

Also my fave place for a 'posh' meal Seablue, where i can enjoy lots of shellfish and design your own salad.

but it wont be all about eating, Mr Timberlake, Divas Las vegas, horseriding, shark reef, CSI exhibit and drinks with friends are all planned along with the inevitable flutter

Have a totally fabulous holiday, Jaqys.

 

[jaqys]

Thanks all.

Almost there, couple hours stopover then a boring no entertainment flight, then Vegas baby.

So far so so dukan.
B scrambled eggs, smoked salmon, tea at cafe rouge.
L I just ate the (awful) chicken said no to the sarnie later.
Sn few sf sweets for takeoff/landing, the sweetest food I've had in months
D brisket sarnie(skipping the bread) and greens and the not so dukan sauce, it's spicy and vinigary though not too sweet. There is also a fried pickle on my plate wouldn't eat it if you paid me even when not on dukan.

The brisket was 10 kinds of wonderful and can't believe I went for greens over BBQ beans.

Was a lot more comfy on the plane too, which was a big motivator for doing this and a sign I'll be trying not to blow it too much this week.

Hope everyone had great weekends.

Gosh yes, I can well remember having to squeeze myself in those narrow airline seats (and once having to ask for the pregnant mother's extension belt).

Lovely to hear that you're making the right choices already...

Have a great time Jacq!

Hello

Riding was cancelled yesterday

Had a great day though, did the csi exhibit which was a fun diversion, i got a kick out of all the csi people videos at each if the evidence stations, went to shark reef which was so so.
Had a couple of hours by the pool, weather is glorious!
Walked loads and loads.

Food breakfast buffet, first plate bacon ( first time in years!), mushroom omelette, chicken sausage (really lovely), ham and salsa.
Second plate ( it was $17 wanted me monies worth ) scrambled eggs, smoked salmon onions, capers, more bacon and more chicken sausag, ham from carving station.

A few bite in to second plate realised eyes bigger than stomach. But waded through most of it slowly with lots of coffee and water.

About 30 mins after my stomach objected I don't know if to the fat, the amount of pork( pork and chicken have been an issue in the past) or the chemically water.

No lunch, just a vitamin water zero, trying to rehydrate.

Dinner, 2 mcdoubles(threw away buns) and a giant diet coke, bargain under $4.

Stupidly didn't nap and so went to bed early and now awake before 3am

Food's sounding good!! Shame about the ride being cancelled... Anything good on the box?!

Am boiling now. Had steak n egg for brekkie and 2 mouthfuls of the hashbrown, pot of coffee, made 4 cups, $9.71 before tip
