Re: TRIP REPORTS
Okay, baby's asleep, and I finally got (a little bit of) rest..........
NJC was so much fun!
We got there Friday, after 2 hours of sleep and taking the 6am flight out of ORD to CVG, then on to LAS. Loads were good, got in just past 10. The hotel couldn't check us in, so we got some lunch and finally got into our room at 1. Had a nice nap, then headed up to the 'party room' (TonyW's room) where everyone was hanging out until it was time for dinner. Dinner at the sushi place was fantastic! (Yes, they did have cooked food too.) I only wish I could have had some of that Tuna! (It was only seared, and raw in the middle. Raw Fish = No-No for pregnant lady.) Friday night was drinks with the girls ( tons of fun! Great to meet you all!!), then met up with the guys and wandered over to Nine Fine Irishmen. Great atmosphere, loud music. It got to be midnight (which is 2am to me!) and I 'hit the wall', I had to call it a night or risk passing out! (No, not passing out from too much to drink, sadly.....)
Saturday was breakfast with all the hung over JC-ers in the lobby, hearing tales of the shananigans after we'd left the bar the previous night! Then it was off to Excalibur for some Craps (okay, I just watched, I'm not much of a gambler). Then the 'main event' Saturday afternoon. What a great turnout! No political fighting [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Everyone just wandered around talking to everyone else. A spectacularly organized event, and the goody bags & door prizes were really something special!
We had to leave Sat night on the red-eye back through CVG (the fun of non-revving, you leave when you can, not necessarily when you want to!). Loads were good, we even got FC to CVG. Though I still didn't sleep and arrived home babbling incoherently and barely able to keep my eyes open. Sorry we missed all the fun Sat night!
Meeting everyone was great, it's nice to have faces & 'real' names to put with screen names now! You all are an amazing bunch, and it was a pleasure meeting all of you!
