Deb, glad you survived.  I think root canals have come a long way....I have had some horrendous ones in the past but the last one I got was no big deal at all...I didn&#39;t even have any pain once the numbness wore off...wishing the same for you.<br /><br />Mary Lou, even though we usually make Vegas a 1 day drive, Greg and I decided to leave Wed. afternoon and arrive in Vegas Thursday afternoon instead of leaving early Thursday and getting there Thursday night and then plan to take 2 days to get home also, so we will be gone the 5-11th.  I am hoping to have some &quot;pool time&quot; while we are there, but our friends are certainly presenting us with a full schedule.  I did mention to her, that since we are staying in a condo with a full kitchen, that maybe they can all come over and spend an afternoon at the pool and we can cook a light meal there...looks like it may be the only way I get to go swimming...
