Since arriving in LV, F&O had been staying at the South Point. This day was moving day, so F&O forced themselves to get packed up and schlep all their stuff to Vdara. As they had about 6 bags of stuff, this is a logistics problem relating to check-out times vs check in times, and the…
Getting to Vegas, Day 1 round-up
Made it to the Bay Area – spent time with family and (naturally) doing envy passes on the SF Bay in front of Pier 39 for all the tourists on the Quixote sailing ship. While F&O had just done the same thing last month, and had originally intended another route this trip, it turns out…
What day is it and where are F&O?
Okay, here is a quick update for our loyal readers: In Reno/Sparks, NV, all powered up with plenty of G, Flynn and Ollie began thinking about the logistics of step 2 of their trip – off to Coarsegold to visit family and friends, go on a dinner train ride, try a SUP for the first…
The next 3 days- RV life
Okay, where to begin? Flynn the slacker is woefully behind on this trip report, so will be throwing all the past 48 + hours at the wall to see where it all sticks. First and foremost, the drive from Lassen to South Lake Tahoe was unremarkable. One quick stop for lunch at Bordertown (ulterior motive…
Day 3- Saturday the 5th of June
F&O had this day without travel, and therefore were free to explore the RV resort at a leisurely pace. If one is honest about privae RV parks, many are the same: pools, horseshoes, maybe a tetherball or volleyball court, a dog walking area. This RV park is not the same. It has all of the…
Day 2 – CA Bound 6/4
After a hearty breakfast on Day 2 of vacation, F&O took a walking tour of their campground. They played a game of ping pong sorta (ask Ollie about that), found the self-serve ice-cream machine which was not open at that hour of the morning, and strolled along the river. Flynn and Ollie will most assuredly…
Gettin’ out of Dodge
Day 1 ~ Vacation Day! Yippee!!! Flynn, Ollie, Jones, and their handlers were on the road a full 30 minutes before their anticipated departure time. This in itself was a miracle, considering Ollie had to pack for Jones, who stubbornly refused to do it for himself. The cat is a jerk. This first day of…
Lamenting the Losses of Las Vegas
Here is the question: What is the difference between the Wynn, Bellagio, and Aria? They are all very nice hotels, with pretty water features, but…. How about the Luxor, Paris, or Mandalay Bay? Each has location based décor, but…. But in reality, most LV casinos are the same. They have rooms, fancy restaurants, shopping, a…
Quick Camping In Oregon
It has been a while since the Chronicle has written up a travel article – other than those related to Las Vegas & playing poker, of course. Lest you think Flynn and Ollie are total degens (only Flynn, not Ollie), here is proof they actually get out and ‘do stuff’. Their newest obsession is taking…
LV 1/21 ~ Episode 5
F&O were determined to do a photo shoot on this Thursday. So, up and out of the room at the ungodly houur of 1130. They wanted a montage of pix of all the iconic LV sights. They drove to the Welcome sign, the line was too long. They went to the new arch (which is…
