Alright, I need to get some more coffee. I just read that as, “After that, we got crabs.” I was going to say- quite the eventful Vegas weekend, indeed!

Thank you for the follow up!  
Glad you had a good time.  
You forgot to mention - was wife surprised? How did you “spring” it on her - at the airport or day before?  
At any rate - glad you had a good time, got some good food and at least made a dent in your list of things to do while you were here - better than most people accomplish on their first visit!

Glad to hear that you two had a good time. 🙂

I sprang it on her at breakfast, when she asked why I wasn’t at work.

I think she suspected something earlier, but I am about as subtle as a Sherman tank, so that is to be expected. But she has been kind of glowing ever since, which was my intent.

Thanks again for the advice.

Regards,  
Shodan
