There are some places in this world which are firmly
entrenched on the “Must see before you die…or become too old and lose your
ability to enjoy life” list.
The top 5 on my list would include…
The Bat Cave Smurf Village
Unfortunately, as of yet, I’ve never been able to visit any
of those legendary locales. It’s mainly
due to finances and partly due to the seemingly un-bridgeable gap between the
world of reality and the land of fantasy…but mainly finances.
The two biggest secrets in life remain:
1) How
do you get the caramel into the caramel bar?
2) How
did Mr. Rogers get to the Neighbourhood of Make-Believe?
Since I have yet to crack the code or come up with enough
funds to buy the answer from Cadbury – whom I believe holds the keys to both
secrets – I decided do the best with what is available to me.
So, for our vacation, my wife and I chose to visit the closest
thing to a fantasy world our real world has to offer.
The City of Lights !
(no…not Paris )
The City That Never Sleeps! (no…not New
York )
the City of Sin !
(no…not Hell, Michigan ).
We’re talking the one and only…
Then we discovered it had no hotels…so we tried Las
Vegas .
In our brief stay I was exposed to so many lights, I was
able to see in the dark for days after returning home. The phrase “Good night” was never
uttered…nor was “Good Morning”, for that matter. As for sin, I had a great time…without
sinning. Surprise. Surprise.
I really wish I could present a detailed account of our stay
in Vegas, but…“What happens in Vegas…Stays in Vegas.”
Seriously.
We signed a confidentiality contract at the airport upon
landing, our true vacation itinerary was disposed of at one of the many VMI
(Vegas Memories Incineration) stations and a standard “What I did in Vegas”
form was handed to us to personalize.
So, here (according to official documentation) is what I did in
Vegas.
That’s my story…and I’m sticking to it. Viva, Las Vegas .
Have a good one,
Timmy
Your Vegas trip was just like mine! Who da thunk it?
ReplyDeleteYou guys should really try to visit the Bat Cave. Oh, and Paris. But Las Vegas sounds fun... at least the part you can hint at without breaking your contractual obligations.
ReplyDeleteCatrina, that's super-excellent-awesome!
ReplyDeleteDiana, I think the Bat Cave is off my list after meeting Batman on the Las Vegas strip. He was hanging out with a sleezy looking Sponge Bob and seemed a little intoxicated...however, I did get a picture with him for $1.
