Well the three day weekend is about over.  LV is now saying over 300,000 tourists were here, non-gaming revenue is down from last year.<br /><br />Beautiful day today with a high of about 80.  Went and bought the new patio set today and I spent the afternoon assembling everything.  Looks great and it was time to make the change.<br /><br />WOW, Jenn thats a lot of meds&#33;&#33;  Thought Canada provided low cost meds??  I know Roe has some of hers sent from there in BC.<br /><br />You are right Joey.  Airfares are headed north in a big way.  That&#39;s why I&#39;m looking at a cruise out of LA vs. Florida.  Even with gas prices, it is still cheaper and far less hassle to drive to the port.<br /><br />Rose:  Europe is very expensive right now.  However, remember you would be on a cruise where shipboard prices are in U.S. dollars.  The only things that we found expensive this year was anything you wanted to buy ashore.  Only thing we bought were some high fashion white shoes in Spain for Roe.<br /><br />Steve: I teach a class called New Home Sales Boot Camp and do it in the BDU outfit of a Marine Top Sgt.  Even have a DI Smokey Bear hat with a gold glove and anchor.  Make my entrance to the Marine Hymn played by the U.S. Marine Corps. Drum and Bugle Corps.  The only thing I have to be careful of is that you Marines rolled the sleeves differently than the grunts.<br /><br />Jenn, you said the magic words. Passport photos.  Mine expires next February and they get funny if it is within six months of expiration.  So, I need to get busy on my next one just in case I get lucky and get a cruise put together for this fall.  Three Legged Race, of course, why didn&#39;t I think of that?  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" /> <br /><br />Night All,
