Queens in the Castle

Yes the Queens of Metzshire are finally in their beds under layers of the finest satin and cotton. The dragons of flight delays, turbulence, and baggage claim have been slain. Our long quest through the Forest of Traffic was successful despite misdirection by an omnipotent voice. We fought bravely and were ultimately victors in the tournament of skill and cunning as we led our armored horse into the kingdom of the castle. And now this day's journey has come to an end. We have been welcomed into the kingdom of Vegas with food and drink and much revelry, and are now content in our princess beds atop Tower Two of the Castle Excalibur. 

In short...it was a crazy long day. Flying in right over the Rockies seeing the snow capped mountains reaching towards the plane, and seeing turquoise water like a blindingly bright jewel in the middle of the red spines and canyons of the Nevada desert were some of the highlights of the flight here. Driving into Las Vegas, and even walking through the casinos feels like being on a movie set. I guess it's just the only reference I have for this place. After being in the airport, on the plane, in traffic, fighting for parking, on the sidewalk, in the casino and finally in the elevator...in close quarters with a million strangers every step of the way, I am definitely experiencing sensory overload. I am too tired to think. 

Tomorrow I will be rested and laying under a billion stars.  Until tomorrow....
