I decided to start a new thread so it didn't get confused with the other one. Like I said, I had some fun vacations in my time. Here's one:
I decided to visit some college roommates one summer. My friend and I flew to Denver and met up with another roommate and we explored the area. We went whitewater rafting, drove up in the mountains where we hand-fed some coyotes (not smart), went to Red Rock, etc. After 3 days we flew to Vegas. We met three other guys there and had suite at the old Tropicana Hotel. The first day there I won $6500 and didn't tell the others, I told them I was losing my butt. We went our seperate ways and decided to meet at Caesers Palace at 5:00pm. I had a rental car but it was lame so I took some of my winnings and rented a PORSCHE CARRERA and drove the strip for the day. So I show up to Caesers and flip the valet the keys and meet my buddies. We had a blast driving our to Hoover Dam and all that touristy stuff for the next couple days. My buddies never did find out how I could afford the Porsche, they thought I credit carded it all.
Next it was on to San Diego, where we stayed with a family up in the canyons. Hit the San Diego zoo, etc. Decided I loved San Diego. The last two days we were in Cali we drove the Pacific Coast Highway all the way to San Fransisco and back. Rode the trolley cars and drove Lombard (crookedest street),etc. Got lost in a BAD part of town after dark and got escorted to safety by two police officers..........
Overall, a great trip!
