My hubby got a week off due to their company policy to avail for vacation time. He decided to do business with pleasure in going to Florida. So together we looked for certain flights and balancing the costs. Part of the itinerary was to set foot in Las Vegas to spend the New Year for 2 days and we did. We arrived Dec 31 in the afternoon and stayed at Tropicana Hotel. We had our dinner inside the hotel and then we walked on the strip. We enjoyed the crowd seeing them carrying beers with a very unsual container but fun to look at. Police were everywhere monitoring crimes. It was safe to walk but the weather was too chilly. Before the fireworks show we waited near the street across MGm, tv screens were side by side counting the time. Though its just me and my hubby, we really had a good time there. Never was a dull moment to celebrate in there....I called my friend Cristina Alen my former classmate in highschool where she lived nearby. Together with her hubby Ricky, they picked us up at the hotel to have lunch together the day after. They chose to dine at Mimi's Cafe and they even paid it. Such a great host and she managed to tour us around in their house and other sites. For 2 days there it was enough, legs were tired and lack of sleep but we need to move on to our next flight to Orlando. Here's the clip:
Upon arrival, we didnt waste time. We check in first at Comfort Inn Hotel and by our rental car, we plotted areas to look and go around. We did it for 2 days to drive around different areas and we found one place that we were interested in. We talked some real estate agent there and she happened to be Filipina. A very accommodating person eventhough she's on the job, knowing us that we were both Pinoy she instantly like us. There was no sales pressure and she was good. Time were so limited, we hurried to catch a ride to go to Disneyworld though its past 6pm. I didnt mind if we stayed short there. Seeing the place, its like Disneyland but far big than in L.A but the thing there the electric parade of the cast, I loved it. It was colorful and magical. For whole day the next day, we spent it there in Universal Studio "Islands of Adventure". I rode the "Hulk" and riding it was like you will going to die for body aches and pains. Joe got sick after that and the rest of the time he was there, he felt so bad. I pitied him but he coped up not to spoil my day. He was great though in pain. My best travel companion.
