Orlando? San Diego? Vegas? What to do..what to do..

The roomie has decided he wants to go on vacation - again.

Ok fine. I figure this will be my last one for a long long time, and I'm always up for a vacation trip. I'm a Sagittarius after all :)

But now to decide where to go...hmmmmm...

Orlando with a side trip to the ocean. I could handle that. Sand, surf, sunshine...Possibly a cabana boy or two (or three, but hey I'm not gonna be picky - not when it comes to cabana boys). We could see the Mouse. Went there once - our very first trip together ever. December 1998. We had gone to Pleasure Isle the night before and well, let's just say the roomie consumed too many draft beers (I almost had to get a luggage cart to use to get him up to the room) - so needless to say he wasn't in the mood to ride any rides the next day. He did take me to see the Mouse though and I would love to go again.

Or there is San Diego. Hmmm....Sand, surf, sunshine. And yep, you got it - cabana boys (well, maybe. I never saw any last time we were there). We went there a couple of years ago for two whole days as part of a side trip to Phoenix. His brother and wife went with us and well, lets just say we didn't get to see a whole heck of a lot. I got whiplash while driving down Hollywood Blvd. (ok, so we took a side trip on the side trip - to LA). The roomies brother yelled - There's Graumans Chinese Theatre!

ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!

Damn...missed it...

Oh, I got a picture of the Beverly Hills sign. By hanging out the car window while stopped at a traffic light.

Did make it to the zoo. Great place! Had a lot of fun there and even got to see a baby panda. Took lots and lots of pics.

Best part of that side trip was La Jolla. The ocean was just absolutely gorgeous there. I could have sat there for days.

So yes, San Diego - California in general - is a definite option.

Or, we could do....

VEGAS BABY!

We went there almost two years ago. My first and only time. Had a great time there. Didn't win anything. Went with $500 to blow and came back with $115 (won it back on the last day!). So many things we didn't get to see there - wanted to go to the old section of town, etc. So - we have talked of doing that, maybe even seeing a show or two. Just walking the Strip and people watching is a trip.

We saw Santa there last time. Sitting outside M & M World reading the paper, wearing a straw hat and a brightly flowered shirt. I think he was having a little fun before the big night just two weeks later. I just walked by and told him "I'm being a good girl Santa." His comment? "I bet you are...I bet you are."

Hmmmm...didn't get much for Christmas that year....

So, IF we really do take a trip in November, we have some decisions to make.

What to do...what to do....

Wherever we go I'm sure it will be great. And I will cherish it forever, for it may be my last trip with the roomie.

We'll see what happens.

(But - if we go to Vegas I won't be able to tell you. Ya know...what happens in Vegas...

Loved San Diego when I was there and you're right LaJolla is gorgeous. But hmm, I'm thinking San Fran maybe? Monterray? Napa? Sexy architects in downtown San Fran? Yeah, sexy architects sipping cabernet.
