Wow, wow and wow, went to the Capilano Suspension bridge to look at the lights, do the Cliffwalk and Tree Top Adventures and cross the Suspension Bridge

Seriously!!!!!! everyone go.  I grew up in North Vancouver and I think the last time I was here was when I was 14.  Lynn Canyon was my playground so we would never pay to cross a bridge

If your a resident in BC your admission gives you a season's pass, OMG going to see this in the daylight.  The most beautiful sight for my eyes, twinkly, sparkly, heavenly lights everywhere. You really get a feeling for how long the different walks are, some of the canyon is lit up below but not enough for pics so you don't even realize how high up you are.  If this is the only thing you do this Christmas it is well worth it

Two generations of besty's.  My daughter is best friends with my best friends daughter, and why not they grew up together from day 1, how fun




My High School sweetheart Rob, glad to have this dude back in my life



Yay!!!!! brought Brandy Beans, nice little treat




 My camera would just not take a good pic of the Suspension Bridge, too many lights, Holy Cow that thing rocks.  We used to think we could get Lynn Canyon going.  This one is wider so swings more, don't be afraid its a thrill



That's the bridge above and behind T, It has a crazy span


 Never say never but I don't think anything else will come from now till Christmas so Merry Christmas everyone.  Be safe and spend time surrounded by great people

Las Vegas in a Weekend


Whoot Whoot!!! good times had by all

My dear friends took me to Vegas to celebrate my 50th birthday, that's a milestone worthy of a good party

Truthfully I've never bought into driving to the States and flying from there, I've been told how inexpensive and easy it is to do and wow, yes it was

We drove to Bellingham, WA and flew with Allegiant Air, go for it, well worth the savings

My usual start to a VERY early morning


My compadres, Christina and Sharon


Seriously no drinking problem here, I never actually get the chance to drink, I'm my own designated driver.  When I do get to unwind I do it to the extreme, I never rent a car while on vacation, taxi's everywhere baby, bwahahaha and in the coffee she goes


Tee hee, leaving this

Love shooting up above the clouds


OMG we were all so tired, gotta catch some ZZZZZ's and rejuice.  We started off the trip with little to no sleep, LOL


We're here

Day 1


Another first, usually stay at the Bellagio, however stayed at the Excalibur*Hotel*Casino*Las Vegas was very nice and clean and they were so hospitable, had a huge yum yum basket waiting for us.  I would definitely stay there again





We had a show lined up for each night but only two tickets to one of them.  We stopped by TIX4TONIGHT, got the best deal on the 3rd ticket AND tickets to an exhibit.  Their located at several spots along the strip.  Whatever your going to do or see you can do it cheaper buying your tickets here


These old lights always please me


Went to the Auto Collection at The Linq  My first visit was about 16 years ago.  I was so thrilled to see not one but two Elvis cars.  If you know me you know I love Elvis.  This visit was a great one, there is something to be said about standing beside a vehicle that JFK rode in


and Marilyn Monroe


Love you dude


The icing on top of the cake, Jimmy Velvet was there selling his recent book.  You can speak with him about Elvis and many of the other greats Jimmy hob nobbed with through out his own incredible career.  Thank goodness he always had his camera by his side Jimmy Velvet

Next up:

Street cruising, of course


Shopping, of course

Gambling, of course


Drinking, of course


Eating, of course


 Getting dolled up, of course


Our first night we went to the production of "Pin Up" at the Stratosphere, spoiled with front row! VERY fun.  Claire Sinclair is adorable to watch, what a beauty, honestly.  I just love a live performance.  I was so pleased, the dancing was outrageous, the cast gorgeous, a live band .... OMG enough skin to make the world right again, LOL must see!


Then up to the observation Deck for the view, they have some of the craziest rides up there Stratosphere Hotel & Casino

I was fortunate to be dressed in Simple Pair by Jessie Liu.  I've mentioned her before 

I felt incredible in her designs on both evenings

 

 


Day 2

We loved the Da Vinci exhibit at The Venetian  This is not a museum exhibit, it is based on the history of Da Vinci.  There are no original paintings or architectural endeavours or inventions.  It is very well done and their replicas are really great to get a visual of how the mechanics all worked

 

We had a great walk about in some of the hotels, the sights never cease to amaze me



That night we readied ourselves for ZUMANITY.  Holy great show Batman!!!!! Spoiled with second row, close enough to get involved first hand with all the effects.  No pictures allowed inside but take my word for it, dare I say feast for the eyes.  Never been to a Cirque show before and will go to all of them now

It was held at the New York New York we just loved it there and literally stayed ALL night, the music was epic

 Check out the waist on this fellow, I can practically put my arm around the whole thing





Later that night ...



Instagram Fun In Vegas below

We kept losing Sharon and started to create "Where's Sharon" videos.  Complete strangers were very good sports.  We could not have timed it better when Sharon walked up to me in one of them

Where is Sharon? #vegas #midnightstuper
