Crawl Like an Egyptian
Yesterday, we spent most of our day walking down The Strip from the Luxor to Bellagio. Which is when we discovered that The Strip is actually made of elastic. You stand at one mega hotel and look to the one next door. It’s just across the street, right? No, as you walk, The Strip elongates in front of you and what looks like it was just across the street is actually miles away. At least it feels like miles away when you are criss-crossing the street, taking elevators and overhead walkways and stopping at every hotel on the way and wrangling a stroller, a diaper bag and a squirmy baby. So today was to be a relaxing Egyptian day at the Luxor.
Here’s how you do it:
First you take a bath in an exotic Egyptian marble tub.
Then you put on your King Tut Egyptian hat.
And bust a few Egyptian moves.
And pose with Anubis, the Jackal Headed God.
Who, if you look closely, seems more like The Fox Terrier Headed God.
Okay, enough Egyptian stuff.
Off to the Bellagio to see the fabulous fountain show.
And then to Paris!
To watch Mommy eat dessert crepes.
All in all, a great day. For more pictures of Day Two, click here.

It always seems like it’s a l o n g walk between where I am on the Strip and where I want to go. Even the well intentioned monorail doesn’t help much. My tip – hiking boots. Don’t leave home without them.
