I’m back!  I just recently came back from my trip to California more specifically Walnut near L.A.  I had a great time my friends where so nice they took me everywhere.  The weather there is such a variable it can change at moments notice.  Some days were cool and nice others were dry and extremely hot and uncomfortable.  We ended up driving to Las Vegas for one day,  the drive was extremely long.  I’m a guy from Hawaii so driving 45 min. is a task, but in the mainland it’s not uncommon to drive 1-5hrs. on the weekends.  When I arrived we stayed at the Red Rock Hotel and Casino man that place is so beautiful and the staff was great.  I will definitely return to that hotel.  I love to gamble so as soon as we checked in I started hitting the crap table,  I ended up doing pretty well for only a short periodof play, I walked away from the table up about $200.  Then I decided that sleep was a good option.  So when I woke up like any fool that did well the night before, I decided to play again.  This time I didn’t do as well and I knew that I was kind of pressed for time.  So pushed the play and ended up losing a total for the trip to Vegas about $1,600.  Its was fun though.  Driving back though it was so unbelievably hot I think it was about105-109 degrees.  When you get out of your car you plan your trip to shortest route.  We had a baby with us so the heat was so bad that a vast majority of the time was spent indoors.  All in all it was so much fun.  I think next time though I’ll pick a better season to visit.
