I get into yet another cab driven by yet another man who barely speaks English, and tell him to take me to Mandalay Bay. This turned out to be one of the nicer casinos I saw on the trip as well. After navigating my way through the casino (for those of you who aren't aware, most Vegas casinos are absolutely enormous - you won't understand what I mean until you go in one) I finally locate Magiclit sitting at the bar in the "House of Blues" restaurant. She immediately asks me what I want to drink, I ask if they have any Amstel Light (which is my favorite beer at the moment) - they do - and half of it is gone before I can say hello (I was thirsty)! She was very excited to meet me. We had a nice time, and spent most of it talking about Nubblies. I basically just gave her the lo-down on everyone on here that I know in person. She asked most of the questions, and had the bulk of the energy in the conversation - I was whiped out after the busy week - and ready to go home. For you haters out there, she is a good girl and means well - and probably cares more about this site than about anyone on here. About halfway through the conversation, we get on the subject of how I just turned 21. She kinda leans over and whispers to me "yea...I'm only 20". This surprised the fuck out of me. I thought she was like 24 or something - and come to find out - we're sitting at a bar and she's not even old enough to order alcohol! She shows me her real ID and her fake ID to prove it. I've gotta say, growing up in Vegas has made her very mature and street smart. She's leaps and bounds ahead of your average 20 year old girl in Indiana. She could pass for 25 like nothing. So needless to say, I was shocked to find out she was younger than I. We talked about her family and what it was like to grow up in Vegas - and before I knew it - I had to get to the airport.

I had another beer to bring my final total to two. She polished off number four as we were walking towards the valet so I could get a cab to get to the airport. I'm glad I got to meet her, and hopefully we'll be able to execute her idea of having a Nubblies gathering in Vegas sometime in the not too distant future. Here are a couple pictures of the two of us:

After a touching conversation with my cab driver, who was from Tanzania, I got on my connecting flight to Newark, NJ. I didn't sleep at all through the night. I left Vegas at 10:05 pm Pacific, and got to Indy at 8:00 am Central - and headed straight to my girlfriend's (who lives a lot closer to the airport than I do) to sleep. I was more tired than I have ever been in my life.

I'm really into planes and shit, so on a totally unrelated note, here is a picture of a badass Israeli 777 that I saw in Jersey. This picture doesn't do justice for just how big this plane is. I was in a plane the exact same size as the plane you can see in the background. So needlesss to say when I saw the 777 I reached for the camera pretty quick. I think it's the biggest plane used in commercial aviation - at least it is until that new Airbus comes out.

What a great trip, thanks for reading - and sorry it was so long! Hope it was worth it. Go to Vegas if you've never been.
