Awake: 5:47am Temp 41 sleep 6+20 mostly cloudy overnight @ Las Vegas, NV.
We join Dick for breakfast; Christine opts to stay in bed & Dick will bring some breakfast food back to her later. We enjoy hanging out with Dick; he looks & acts younger than his years & continues to keep that good sense of humor.
After breakfast, Kathy goes off on her own….for (5) hrs of window shopping, curiosity looking plus buying a few items. During her absence, I do some casual magazine & technical reading on our coach systems.
When she returns, we both dress for the evening’s adventure: a special dinner downtown @ Caesars Palace, one of Christine & Dick’s favorite places to eat, “The Trevi.” Also joining us tonight for dinner will be C & D’s good friends, Barbara & Vic from Goodyear, AZ as well. They are here to see Celine Dion, a treat for Barbara’s birthday today. We have much to talk about being a table of RVers with other common interests.
Our dinner was exceptional; wine or liquor with appetizers, then the main course; K chose the Fettuccini in a seafood sauce & I selected the Atlantic salmon with a Caesar salad. Next, we shared dessert, a tall glass of spumoni ice cream with chocolate sauce & whipped cream. Kathy also shared an after dinner port with Dick. What a meal & what a nice evening. B & V turned out to be a really nice couple. We hope we can rendezvous with them again somewhere.
D & C intended to stay @ the campground until Saturday or Sunday but changed their minds when Christine’s daughter announced she would be visiting Goodyear on Saturday; Christine does not want to miss seeing her daughter & granddaughters, even if it’s only for a day.
We thank D & C for their friendship, the rendezvous in Las Vegas, the superb dinner & being introduced to V & B tonight. We’ll be waving to them in the morning when they are pulling out to return to their home in Goodyear, AZ. We are back to our bus by 8:30pm.
Evening movie: “Midnight Mary” with Loretta Young, Ricardo Cortez, Franchot Tone, Andy Devine, etc. Visually arresting story, told in flashback, of hard luck. Young, orphaned @ nine, seduced @ sixteen & sent to prison. 1933. Young is amazing; we are beginning to “not miss any of her movies.”
Lights out: 12:14am
