I missed last week’s blog because I was in Vegas,
baby! I had never been to Las Vegas
before, although Cavan had been there many times for the Comdex conference,
until Comdex went bankrupt.
I discovered Las Vegas to be not very handicapped
friendly, although there are escalators and elevators on the street. These are necessary because you cannot walk
across The Strip, or many of the side streets, some of which are actually
highways. The elevators and escalators
will take you to e pedestrian bridge, which will get you to the other side of
the street. There is still a lot of
walking to get from place to place.
I should point out that there are taxis, of course, and
also busses. The busses don’t stop very
often, so like the pedestrian bridges, there is quite a bit of walking to get
to the bus stops and the bridges.
Now, despite my complaining, I did enjoy myself. Because of all of the walking, I didn’t get
to see as much as I might have liked, but also, there were quite a few things
on hiatus, or shut down for one reason or another, anyway.
I especially enjoyed seeing the Hoover Dam and the Grand
Canyon. Also, if you are planning to go,
I recommend seeing the Mob Museum. The
food is much more expensive than I was expecting, but it was pretty good,
So, this is a short blog because I just got back at about
midnight last night and I am still pretty tired. I have to time adjust a bit, having lost
three hours on the way back and I need to be ready to get up at 6:30am Monday
morning for work!
I am planning another somewhat controversial blog for
next week, though!
