How many West Coasters are we up to now? Mary Lynn, true there are some great deals for Vegas, but being the Miss Addictive that I am, sadly I couldn't safely go there (kind of like FaceBook) and get out alive. Lynne, how far is Vancouver from Calgary? (That's the only Canadian place I have a good mental picture of.) Wish we had Alan over here to help us plan!

When my kids were wee, I would fly with them to Vegas and we'd usually spend the night and then head out to Arizona to visit them. Therefore, except for a fantastic limo ride along the strip arranged by my Dad (another story), I have only "done" Vegas with an ambulatory pre-schooler and a baby in a stroller! I'm sure you could show me an entirely different Vegas!!! Amanda- Careful what you wish for (only kidding---well kind of!). You have been warned about my obsession with most (musical) things country! For a meeting venue, I can offer the Calgary Stampede and hiking in the Rockies! Thanks again for ALL of the accounts of Ann's event! And Ann, you were terrific!

Also, you got Michael Jackson, I have Dolly Parton who lives about a mile away from me. We actually go to the same doctor (no, not a plastic surgeon), and I love her. So if anyone is out the Nashville way I can give you the tour of the star's homes then we'll go downtown and hit the honky tonks. Ya'll are invited.

But thanks for the "Funny Girl" alert -- I love this movie too, and am watching the end. I used to visit Las Vegas so much, and had so much fun, I finally just moved here. Granted living here (yes, people do live here) is not quite as much fun as visiting . . . still I thrill at a full moon rising over the strip view. I'm a sucker for the bright lights. Hey, a couple of days ago a mansion where Michael Jackson lived here in Las Vegas sold for over $3 Million dollars. I thought it was in the exclusive, gated "Spanish Trails" development, but turns out it is less than a mile from my humble (and I do mean humble) abode! Me and "the Gloved One" -- nearly neighbors! Vegas is a kick. Oh -- required viewing for anyone coming to Vegas -- "Vegas Vacation", and "Casino". Two of my favorite movies -- oh, "Viva Las Vegas" and the original "Oceans 11" is recommended as well. Barbara — I missed the tugboat scene!!!
