Almost Gambling

Last night I asked Momoko to see if there were any hotel rooms available near our favorite casino. She said she found rooms available directly in the casino. This sounded exciting because it is easy to go down the elevator right into the casino.

This morning I woke up early. I went to the casino web site to try and make some reservations. I got an error during the reservation process. What? So I tried again and got an error again. Now I am not one to give up too easily. I called the hotel reservation line up. Got a recording that they were closed. What???

I always tell Momoko that I look for signs here and there. This sounds like a sign that we were not destined to be gambling this weekend. Now I may try calling the hotel back later when they wake up. Don't want to let a little thing like a broke down web site getting in the way of us having fun. If that does not work, we might just have to live it up at home this holiday weekend. That means going out to eat and seeing a movie or two. Anybody out there seen Eclipse or Despicable Me yet?

Vacation Ordeal

Momoko and I slept in today. It is the first day of our vacation. Before driving to our destination, we decided to get some lunch. The line at Silver Diner wrapped outside the door. We went next door to Olive Garden because it seemed empty.

It is a two hour trip to the casino. So I figured it would be an easy ride. No chance. There was a big backup at the bridge. That added another two hours to the trip. I am glad it is not that far to the casino.

We did get lucky and found a close in parking place at the casino. Then we checked in and got some room service. Finally we let the slot machine games begin. I watched the iCarly movie at 8:00pm. Then I woke Momoko up for a night ride to Soninc. Delicious.

Change of Plans

Momoko wanted us to go to the beach this summer. We have been busy with work and school. However my vacation is slowly approaching. I tried to find a spot where we could rent a condo on the beach. It seems the best spot for such condo rentals is far away. Then I looked into airline tickets to fly to the beach. But there were no non-stop flights there. The fates have conspired against us.

This week Momoko decided that we should instead go gambling this summer. Last time we went, I got sick so we could not enjoy the trip as much. Now we plan to hit the slot machines. And luckily there is a Sonic restaurant near by. You don't know how important Sonic is until you find yourself in a land where they don't have sonic. Casino reservations have been made. Off we go as soon as school is up.
