We boldly went…

Star Trek: The Experience To Star Trek: The Experience, while we were in Vegas. And it was fun. Ok, I admit, I’m a bit of a Trekker.

We had decided to stay an extra day in Vegas after TAM to do a couple Vegasy things. One of those things was spending most of Monday at the Las Vegas Hilton’s Star Trek: The Experience. We’ve been there before, but it’s been nearly 10 years and they’ve added quite a few things since then. Since our first trip, they’ve added a new ride - “Borg Invasion 4d” and a behind the scenes tour and several photo options. We went ahead and did all of it. Continue Reading »

TAM 6

We got back Sunday night from our very quick trip to England. I think I am nearly recovered from all the walking and the 5 hour time difference. It was a fun trip.

On the whole, though, the weather wasn’t too bad. We got much much walking in and I got quite a few photos that I will put up in one of my gallery’s when I am finished with the processing.

Off to the UK for a few days

jewel April 6th, 2008

In a couple of days I’ll be heading out for a few days in the UK. I’m doing all those last minuty things, making sure all the shopping is done and I have everything in order, gathering stuff to pack. It’s so hard to know what weather to prepare for and still not over pack. Such is my dilemma. If only all of life were like this! Continue Reading »
