Vacation update!! LONG!
This was a crazy but awesome vacation!!
Sat- we got to the airport and our plane ended up being delayed for like 6 hrs to Newark bc of the crazy storms...yes, we had to fly from the middle, to the east coast and THEN to the west coast! Retarded....word to the wise DON'T EVER FLY ON A BUDDY PASS!!! Well, during spring break anyway! So we finally get to LA at 330 am LA time...it was like a 20 hr day!
Sun- we went to a mall for a bit while kara went to work and then she took us to get our rental car...oh, since we didn't get there in time they canceled the reservation!!! Ummm, excuse me....what?? lol So we left from there and headed to Santa Monica to meet Krystal and Nami! They are so awesome! After dinner me Stacy and Kara headed down to the pier to check it out.
Mon- thank goodness I had made a reservation with enterprise and they didn't cancel it so we got a car! We drove to Venice beach...omg! Those ppl there are sooooooo weird!! As soon as I got there someone offered me medical marijuana and ppl down there smelled really weird and it was just a whole lotta weirdness! lol
Tue- we got up super early and hit the road for Vegas baby!! Well dontcha know that the car doesn't have cruise control....I look up and there was a cop behind me...f*ck!! So he pulled me over...I was doing 88 in a 70! He proceded to tell me that Vegas is open 24 hrs, has been there for 100 yrs and isn't moving!! aahahaha!!! He ended up letting us go thank goodness!! So we finally get there and check into the Bellagio and hit the pool! That night we just walked around, watched the fountains and gambled
Wed- we left the Bellagio and headed to the Mirage. We went down and laid by the pool and decided that we wanted to have more pool time so we would just leave whenever on thursday!! I love the Mirage pool! We had tickets to see the cirque de soleil show "O" at the Bellagio and it was amazing!! After that we went and watched the fountains again and did some more gambling...at this point I was down like $120
Thur- THE BEST DAY OF THE TRIP!! So I wake up to someone giggling the door knob, I opened the door and there were 3 guys down the hall. one asked who my college team was and I told him Louisville...he started yelling f*ck louisville f*ck the cardinals! I was like dude, I am getting ready to junk punch you!! aahaha!! So his friend came down and apologized and I ended up getting a free breakfast out of him!! lol Then we headed to the pool. She wanted to gamble some more and we sat down at the best black jack table ever!! We were all rollin and having an awesome time! I ended up losing my money and this guy gave me $50!! I had it up over 200 but I didn't want to cash out...so he ended up losing and he let me keep the money! I cashed out with $125! We were having so much fun and I suggested that we all go to dinner....and I asked this guy Bill if he was gonna pay for it...yep!! OMG...I had the best steak I had ever put in my mouth...it was $48!! His bill was like $300.
Fri-SKYDIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I totally didn't want to do it but I am soooo glad I did!! I was actually more calm than I though I would be and I loved it! We didn't do much after that we pretty much crashed...I was glad that I didn't go to a bar and watch UL get smashed by california lol
Sat- we went to this crazy house in the Palasades that Kara was house sitting for and then we went to Hollywood...it was ok...I got the pics I wanted and I wouldn't cry if I never went back. That night we went to Krystal's and had an awesome time!! I just love her...I wish I lived closer!!
Sun- OMG!!!!!!!! Worst way to end a trip! We got there at 5am...we ended up staying the night and I put a SW flight on hold bc we were never gonna get out of there! I was in LAX for like 30 hrs!! I mad a lot of friends but I would have rather been home! I ended up having to pay like $455 to come home =( I didn't get home until 930 monday night! Stacy on the other hand didn't get home til yesterday and had to pay more than me and she went from LAX to orlando to charlotte to chicago to louisville!! paul picked me up at the airport and brought me some roses...awwww!!!!
Im sure you all saw but we finally made it official....and FB official lol We are going with our moms on saturday to look at rings! My mom knows a guy and she told him what I liked and he ordered some stuff for us to look at...hopefully I will like something and it will be much cheaper than what I like now!
