I think I'm getting a little burned out on traveling. . . dear god did I just say that?! Honestly in the past 6 weeks, we have been in Portland, road-tripping Oregon, hitting NYC, doing the UCSF conference, Dia De Los Muertos, and now Vegas. Figure I'll feel this way for about a week and then want to plan something for New Years.
In the mean time, just got back from staying at the Mandarin Oriental in Vegas. Can't say enough about how absolutely fabulous this place was. I think its because they pump some sort of addictive element into the air system that makes you crave it. My dad had never been to Vegas, thus had to go and help show him a good time. We even made it out to Burgers and Bullets and got in some sniper action. I think the best part of Vegas was being able to spend some time with my dad.
Otherwise, not that big a fan of Vegas, however I think staying at a hotel that was smoke free made a huge difference.
Of note we did pass by a scene where a guy took a dump in the middle of the busy sidewalk - then we watched some poor bastard slip and go down on it . . . ahh culture.
