We’re back..

..and man, it was fun.

As you could see from some of the pictures, we did a lot, and saw a lot.

Of course, you didn’t see any pictures of our Segway tour of Disney’s California Adventure.

Well, would you believe we got rained out in Anaheim?

Yes.  Hasn’t rained in months, they said, and it rained all morning, and they canceled the tour.  They did get to demonstrate the Segway to us in the little conference room, but that’s it.

And, of course, we couldn’t do the tour the next day since we had to drive back to Phoenix.

The Price is Right with Drew Carey?  Fun.  We didn’t get on the show, though, but we did get really good seats.  No air date has been set yet, though, so stay tuned.   Drew did a really good job, but you realize how effortlessly Bob Barker did the show.  Drew made a few mistakes, and we even had to retape the Showcase Showdown when he reads the prices to see who won.  But it was good times.

The Mazda Miata?  It was nice.  But not a lot of storage space.

So I fixed that by wrecking it. :)

Well, she hit me.  We checked out of Planet Hollywood Casino, and I was driving it out of the parking garage to pick the wife and luggage up, and she cut in front of me and I couldn’t stop in time.  Luckily, we got the extra insurance, so we drove it to Las Vegas Airport and picked up another car.  This time, though, it was just a PT Cruiser, which, I have to admit, wasn’t too bad.  It had much more space, but of course we lost the acceleration and handling of the Miata, but it was a much more comfortable ride.

So now that we’re back, look for the rest of the pictures soon.  We got some good ones.

Tomorrow, back to work.  Ugh.
