The plan

I suppose the plan its as good a place to start as any. Oh, by the way, I will be typing a lot of this on my phone so please forgive me any typos. Autocorrect has a horrible habit of pushing some strange iterations of the English language.
Anyway, back to the plan.
In a nutshell the we leave on the 27th of June and the destination is back home on the 7th or 8th of July. The cool part is inbetween those dates.
If Greg and I had our druthers we would be spending 5 days getting there, one day there and 5 more getting back. Unfortunately, we are supposed to be there to help Geo celebrate his Birthday in some sort of style so  the plan is to get there in 2.5, spend 5 there and back in 3 or 4. Kinda puts us in a crunch only because there's so much to see and do along the way. The reason for the race down is because George's birthday is on the Saturday so we plan on arriving Saturday morning in Vegas and sobering up on Wednesday.
I digress. I should let the trip and the Blog unravel itself as it will.

And we're off......

The premise

Well here is my first attempt at a blog. I thought that our impending trip to Vegas was as good a reason as any to create one.

The impetus for the trip is George McAllister's 40th birthday on June 30th. Not that Greg and I need an excuse to hop on the bikes and go for a ride but having a destination like Vegas helps get the adrenalin flowing.

What I hope to do is post "on the fly" but I'm not sure if that's going to work or not. The Canadian telco companies still like to rape their customers as soon as they cross the line for ANY data that you use - it's bad enough getting a plan for texting and calling. I'm going to attempt to find a way around it but  I'm not sure what that's going to entail yet.
