To continue……

The Klingon ride, as always, made me a little sick.  I tried to sit in the middle, but was one seat off.  Honestly, I guess it’s just my luck to have the motion sickness on certain rides.  We went on and did the Borg ride, and as always it was great.  After we took a small break to shop and take stuff back to the rooms, we headed to the back stage tour to await our turn.  The shops were so picked over, and the once big store was closed off.  There was hardly anything left.  I didn’t pick up anything, and David picked up a few hats.  The back stage tour was different from the last one we did, and our guide, Melvin, did a great job.  I can’t give you details since we had to sign a non-disclosure contract!!!

Quarks was really busy and some of us had to go see Penn and Teller, so we went back to the room for a few to get ready.  David, Arty, Audi, Ed and I took the monorail to Bally’s and walked to Paris where we had a bite to eat before going out and catching the shuttle to the Rio.  Once at the Rio, we went to the Penn and Teller theatre, and bought a few drinks.  Since it was David’s birthday, he had to have a few, of course…..  Penn and Teller were EXCELLENT.  I loved them. They were amazing, and my only regret is that we weren’t a little closer to see the details of their magic.  I’d see them again.  After the performance, there was a period where P & T were signing autographs and posing for pictures.  We got photos with Riker Bear and JT, and got their autographs, too.

I had to play a little bit to keep points on a card, so all of us went to the Show in the Sky to wait for the show and play a little bit.  I lost my money, but Ed won something like 13000 nickels!!  How cool!  We headed back to the hotel, saw the water show at the Bellagio, and then we played the Star Trek game for a few minutes.  It was a good day.

Sunday we all got up at 7 am, and printed our boarding passes and set up our shuttle pick up for that evening.  We met at 11:45 for our pictures on the bridge–lots of fun.  For our group shot, there was a guy named Daniel watching us, and we invited him into the picture.  Ed looked like he was beaming out!  We got the pictures on CD, and then did lunch at Quarks.  My cheeseburger was over done, but okay.  I also had a Deanna Troi’s Chocolate Obsession.  It was so yummy.  After lunch, a few of us went to the Stratasphere, and we all met back up at the Hilton to catch our shuttle.

It was sad going home.  Knowing that we wouldn’t be seeing the experience ever again the way it was.  What a drag….  The flight home was fine, and we got back to Ed’s truck okay.  It took us a few days to recoup…..   Just in time to get ready for our next weekend camping.
