YAY! Welcome to the city! Smile Though I don't know how you do those flights - we could hardly stand our little 6 hour flight from Orlando to here. UGH!

Just sent you a PM - we're in LA for work stuffs. Which kinda sucks, but originally they wanted me to fly to Des Moines (Iowa - the mid-west - ack!) and I said no way!!

If you are in LA I think you should make a side trip to DL this weekend.

Had a great last day in SF, we visted the sealions, got breakfast in boudins, went to Alcatraz and ended in a jazz gar bar where I sang with the pianist! Don't think you get better last days than that!

The Venetian is where one of Wolfgang Puck's restaurants is, right? I think that's where my cousin used to work (she's a pastry chef)!

There is a great antiquities book shop at the Venetian (or there was when I was there a few years back) I spent hours in there browsing, they had a lot of signed stuff

Sounds like a typical Saturday morning in Liverpool. The girls here go to the beauticians in their pajamas with curlers in their hair!

Glad you're having such a good time. My husband and I honeymooned in Vegas and we loved it. We went to the Venetian to see "The Phantom of the Opera" and it was spectacular, better than when we saw it in Broadway! If you like Broadway musicals I highly recommend seeing the Phantom at the Venetian!
