annuinBeing able to update LJ from a gasstation in who knows where Utah on a laptop with national wireless broadband access. Heh.
We're about 2-3 hours from Vegas right now, where we'll be staying overnight at the Aladdin hotel and casino. If we get in on time and can organise babysitting, we might even go see Cirque du Soleil's KA. Kit hasn't seen that yet, and PreZ always said that he'd go again the next time he was in Las Vegas, lol. But we'll have to get to Vegas first. We're encountering some icy and nasty conditions, as well as some snow in parts. At one point we saw a pick-up truck that had managed to flip itself onto its roof. Ouchie.
Tomorrow we head out to Los Angeles. Sadly we won't be able to meet up with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
strigoiimorte because he was heading to his family this morning, but we might be able to hook up with djbloodrose because she'll still be in the LA area. And of course, we get to see nadya_lev again, whee! I think she wants us to help her buy a bed at Ikea tomorrow. And why not, this has been a crazy trip anyway ;)
It's nice to at least not still be stuck in Breckenridge, though it's gorgeous there and we skied some lovely powder on one of the slopes yesterday afternoon. And it's a huge relief not to be stuck at Denver airport with thousands of hungry, tired, cranky and delayed travellers.

Date: 2006-12-23 10:32 pm (UTC)It's not the best picture in the world, but trying to get him to sit still for a picture in his little Yule/winter outfit in a setting that was remotely decent was hard, lol. And getting him to smile at the appropriate moment even harder, so I went with something that was a little fuzzy, but had the cute grin in it.
And we are safe. We left Vegas a while ago and are on I-15 about 60 miles from Barstow, CA, and we'll be in L.A. in a couple of hours. Thankfully the weather here is a lot nicer than the stuff on the road last night. It's even 62F outside right now, nice and sunny.
