In two weeks we’re taking a vacation.  It isn’t like last year’s month in Southeast Asia but here’s what we have planned.

Saturday, October 25th we’ll fly to Los Angeles and stay with Kevin Dean.  He’ll have to work the following week but we should be able to go to the beach and hit an amusement park or some of the tourist traps. (Hello Legoland!)

On the Thursday the 30th we’re renting a car and driving to Las Vegas and staying at the Polo Towers via a timeshare swap.  We’ll meet up with Karna and some other folks from Petersburg and Washington and celebrate Halloween in Sin City. I’m sure we’ll ride the rides while there.

On Sunday the 2nd we’ll check out of the hotel and Kevin will drive back to LA while we drive to Taos, NM and visit with Cena’s dad.  We’ll spend time in the area until the 6th when we fly from Albuquerque to LA, spend the night with Kevin, and then fly back to Petersburg on Friday the 7th. I was supposed to play music for a wedding on the 8th but that has been cancelled.

I hope to drive to Philmont while in NM and maybe even hike up the Vaca Trail.  I worked on that trail the summer of 1995 and would love to see what nearly 15 years of time and use have resulted in.  Anyone have any suggestions for other stuff to do in LA, LV, or the Taos area?
