There’s always good and bad about returning home after a great vacation – the bad part is that it’s over – the good part is that we have access to a 21st Century internet connection again, which is pretty sweet.

The only complaint we have about our whole getaway was the spotty-to-fleeting internet in our hotel room. Otherwise, it was a blast, filled as usual with the customary Such Is Life tomfoolery. Not ones to typically lie on sunny beaches for a week or two at a time, we try and cram in as much as humanly possible on vacation, often going on to add just a bit more kibbitzing, to tax our endurance. I am personally filled with endurance, it’s that ole Mrs. That Dan Guy that has to scramble to keep up…

Or maybe it’s gas that I’m filled with...

Regardless, a good time had by all. Plus, we had a celebrity sighting in our own hotel (The Mirage – first time we’ve ever stayed there). Walking back from some sort of tomfoolery one night, we passed by a crowd gathered around a couple of recognizable TV faces, from NBC’s “The Office”. Actress Kate Flannery, who plays Meredith, and Oscar Nunez who plays…ummm…Oscar were in our casino hotel – graciously posing with fans for a few photos. I was too star-struck to take out the camera I had been carrying around all day to snap pictures of flippin’ buildings and marquee signs, to record the moment. Brilliant.

We also caught Ms. Flannery while she was waiting for a cab to get to the airport a day later, but had no camera at that time. Such is life, as they say.

Better run. We got to bed last night around 1:30 AM, which is something we can’t be doing now if we want to get through our days. May be filling my cereal bowl with Red Bull this morning…

Chow for now!!
