i have reserved a rentacar. i went with Jason‘s suggestion of budget rentacar, and indeed they take debit cards, no problem. the difference in rates between the tiny boxlike cars and the hyundai sonata-class cars was about four bucks. i said whatthehell let’s splurge.
i pick it up thursday at 5PM. or thereabouts, something like that.
i’m going to vegas, baby!
you have a good shot of having a CD player too…don’t forget the tunes!
i think it’s a cassette, but i have a portable and one of those cassette adapters.
driving through the desert at night with the stereo LOUD!! woohoo! (i am soooo excited right now. it doesn’t take much, eh?)
Aaaaaa! I have too much to do between now and Thursday!
I’ll never finish!
Aaaaaa!
Are you driving alone? You should maybe take a cellphone with if you have one. It would kind of bite to break down in the middle of the desert.
Holy shit. It’s really happening. After a year of planning. I’m going to panic now.
i have a cellphone and solid coverage on the whole route. i have numbers of folks in vegas, so i can call if i get sleepy. i’ll be fine.
Yes but, does it have Giant-Desert-Rabbit-proof bumpers?
Beware the jackalope.

the desert rabbits are *giant*? i just thought it was big herds of them, as in large numbers not large rabbits.
giant mutant bunnies. cool.
Try again…hmm. Scroll down to the bottom for a real mutant rabbit. It’s out in front of the famous Wall Drug, as a bonus.
I was trying not to scare you, before. Yes, herds of giant rabbits jackalopes. Don’t say no one warned you.
i’ll be sure to get lots of pictures then.
have a WONDERFUL time!! yippeeee!
Have a fabulous time. Splurge, baby, splurge
this is going to ROCK!!!!
Toxic Donna wants a picture of you and I. I’ll remind you when we’re there. We gotta do that for her. YEEEEEEHAWWWW!!!
i’m gonna bring uploading picture capability (my boss’s laptop with my cam software and hookup) so we can make a whole photo feature for Donna. i’m so sad she can’t come! but we can make it so she can enjoy it all virtually.
maybe i’ll even bring a webcam and cam software? for the pajama party at the least? all i need is the ethernet in the room.
Wow, this is so cool… I wish I were going. Anyway have fun for me and do get lots of pictures.
