December trip: Las Vegas

Hello my readers my topic this week is all about my December vacation trip with my parents and the mishap that happened in the process. While I was nervous in the beginning because I had not gotten on a plane for 9 years I was actually happy because mom was not working she got fired from her job and to me that is a blessing for years I did not have enough guidance from mom but now I have a lot of guidance but anyway back to the trip. The trip was a amazing experience, but the mishaps began at the airport when the security lady took my lotions away from me and my body spray. And not only that but I almost lost my id and my boarding pass. When I got on the plane I was a nervous wreck but once were on up in the air the nervousness left and I was happy when we got to Las Vegas. That is where the other mishap occurred. After getting our luggage from baggage claim at McCarran International Airport we took a cab and we told him to drop us off at the Excalibur. The happiness was short lived however when we realized that we had left our carry on in the trunk of the cab and he left. Mom was pretty mad because in the carry on she had her face cream. So while mom was resting at the hotel Dad and I went to the security guy at the hotel and we explained the situation. After we played for a while, mom woke up and then I joined her to which I ended up falling asleep at 6 in the morning. The next day which was a Friday was a blast because the previous day I had told mom that dad and I saw a Ross store to which she became happy. Friday she did shopping but mom being mom she ended up returning most of the clothes that she bought. That Friday night I told my parents I was going to explore the hotel and explore the hotel's sisters: The Mandalay Bay and the Luxor. When I went to the Luxor I discovered that they have bodies: the exhibition that is one place I do not want to go. However I do want to go to Titanic the exhibition this time that we go I will definitely go. From 11:30pm to 2:00am I was at those hotels exploring. Then when I was on my way back I decided to buy mom  McCafe frappe mocha with whip cream. On Sunday morning we went walking from the Excalibur to the Riviera hotel. Basically we went from the strip to old Las Vegas and mom was happy because along the way mom found another Ross. But mom was clearly still upset because she had lost her lotions and then something incredible happened. That Sunday night I was checking my mom's email and it turns out they had sent us an email from the cab company saying that they had found our carry on. Immediately I sent her a reply saying that we were going to go on Monday to pick it up, so I left her my phone number. The one thing that saved us was that a day before we travelled I had sent my sister from my mom's email the bar code scanner so we could scan our boarding pass. The next day we went to the cab company, and after retrieving our carry on and the cab dropping us off at the hotel I asked mom if we were not forgetting anything, I was already traumatized by what had happened. The rest of the trip was wonderful, mom wasn't mad and everything was finally falling into place. Mom bought stuff at Walgreens. Perhaps one of the best parts about going to Las Vegas was that I finally go to visit the Aria. It is the most beautiful hotel ever. I took a lot of pictures and I put it on my instagram account and my twitter. Sadly Tuesday had arrived and I knew that on Wednesday December 25th we were going to return to Long Beach. But a day before (Tuesday) mom being mom returned all the things she had bought at walgreens and in the process I bought my niece and nephew a teddy bear. Originally we were supposed to be in bed at 10 that way we can get sleep, instead we were in the slot machines till 4:45 am and we woke up at 6:00am showered and packed, and while mom and dad were checking out I was watching the Disney parks parade. While I was sad because I was leaving Las Vegas and leaving my favorite hotel I was actually quite happy because I was finally going to go home and sleep in my bed. We got to the airport and luckily this time I did not almost forget my boarding pass. We ate burger king and we waited for our plane to arrive. We left McCarran International Airport at 2:45 and arrived in Long Beach at 3:30pm. Overall the vacation was amazing we slept at whatever time we wanted, example we would sleep at 10pm and wake up at 3am to go play and we would wake up at whatever time we wanted you know, no pressure. Flying in JetBlue was amazing, they have wonderful service and they are really amiable, I cannot wait to go back!
