VIVA Las Vegas!

My husband and I got back from Las Vegas, Nevada on Wednesday July 19th. at 3 a.m. thanks to bad weather and turbulence in Salt Lake City and an electric storm in New Jersey. Weather all over the United States had been above normal for the past week, hence the severe weather pattern everywhere. Our flight was delayed by 2 hours as planes were restricted from entering Newark Liberty Airport. Err, I doubt anyone would want to fly into an electric storm?! Would you??? I don't think so too :)

Overall, it was not such a bad delay considering the severity of the reports we heard after we landed. Trees were down and power outages were massive in Northern Jersey and Westchester County, New York. Some residents are still without power as I write this blog.

You might be wondering what on earth are we doing in Vegas in the middle of summer?! After all, the temperature for the day was about a "sizzling" 118 degrees Fahrenheit /50 degrees Celsius. The air is desert & arid dry and searing hot...Nobody is out under the scorching sun except for those damn, crazy tourists & a few desert animals. Yours truly included :)

Well, a couple of months back we received this invitation:


Yes, a wedding invitation from Sui Mae & David. Btw, Sui Mae was Adrian's co-worker at Taylor Nelson Sofres (TNS). She has since left and moved to Advertising. Where is the wedding? Las Vegas, Nevada. That's it?! What about the venue? It's a secret. The bride and groom were most tight-lipped about it and didn't want us to know. In fact, we were not told until the very day itself. We were supposed to just hop into a stretched limo. So, until then you have to keep reading my entries to find out. Ha..ha..ha!

There's certainly lots to write about Las Vegas. After all it's the Sin City and gambling capital of the United States and probably the world. I am going to break tradition from the famous phrase, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas". In my opinion, it's too precious not to share.
