Royal Resort........I can't believe even Circus Circus is a step up.

Now that Vegas is hitting hard times, maybe we can get back to Ballies. I say that because I know that Ceasar's Palace is still out of the question now that the old tower is toast........loved the round bed and the mirrored shower there

Thing I loved best about Caesar's was the pool! Been to bed with women who wore more I doubt I'll ever go out to the pool at Circus! Besides, at Circus I can be a "real" airline pilot since we get the 1,2,3 there too

I will never forget during a post First Gulf War Deployment, my Navy crew got tagged with a Christmas eve to Christmas morning parts run. I had a great copilot with me, but God love him, he was a good ole boy from North Carolina and every Saudi and Egyptian controller he checked in with, he wished them a 'Merry Christmas'....and he was dead serious. The rest of the crew would laugh hysterically when out of pure shock or possibly human kindness, the controllers would respond with a 'Merry Christmas' of their own.

If it makes you feel any better, I screwed up my December bidding something fierce and will get back from a trip late Christmas eve and start another on Christmas afternoon....which means I get to spend the night in the crashpad in Queens NY. I'm looking forward to my Christmas brunch at my favorite Chinese takeout in Kew Gardens.

.....Ah, the glamourous like of aviation professionals!

Ferd,

You are a good man because I know you are too senior to have to be on the road for Turkey Day.

Thanks, appreciate that. We don't have any kids so Thanksgiving is no big deal to us. But, don't think too highly......I bid a trip that puts me belly up by happy hour, at the Cabbana bar next to the Sheraton Yankee in FLL Traditional fish dinner with my buddy "Jack" for me
