vegas, baby

we're finally here

we were packed and out the door by 1:30, on our flight at 4:49 from raleigh to atlanta

from atlanta, we left at 7:00 and arrived here at 8:30, vegas-time

then we waited an hour for a rental car that has a disgustingly strong bubblegum smell in the interior

vegas is everything i thought it might be-- big, flashy, and expensive.

had dinner at denny's, it was PACKED with huge asian families.  it took us about an hour to get our food, but our waiter was really nice.  he had cool slicked back hair

and now i'm typing this up in a surprisingly clean rodeway inn.

it's been a day of firsts for neil:  first airplane ride, first rental car ride, first time being out of nc, let alone greensboro!  he's taking in the sights like a champ, but we're both tuckered out.  who knows what tomorrow will bring!
