I find that...a bit curious, for lack of a better word.
Can't you guys find peace and contentment at home, where ever that may be?
V, we travel a lot because I spent too much time away overseas in my life, and although my wife (and at times, the children) visited me around the world many times, most of it did not include sightseeing for them. Now, because we're both blessed with excellent health still, we're taking advantage of that by going everywhere and doing everything TOGETHER as much and for as long as we can. We also both gave up the ever-increasing hassles of flying in 2000. That's a big reason for the new car, which already has over 12,000 miles on it with its 2nd oil change coming up soon.
And yes, we do greatly enjoy the peace & contentment of being at home, whether in Az. or enjoying shooting my guns at our rural place in SD. We are fortunate to be able to get away from the miserable summer heat for basically 5 months every year. Snowbirds is what we're now called.
As for casino visiting--I certainly have always known what Im doing playing vp--whether legitimately or not--and I continue to beat the game handily at nearly every place I play at. In fact, in Black Hawk I just finished mugging Monarch (where I have a Royal Diamond card from Atlantis and was treated very respectfully in all aspects of our stay...psst kew: winners get showered too :) ) along with winning a little at Ameristar (where I'm nothing, but because of some minor play last summer at Cactus Pete's in Jackpot Nv., our rate was a simple $25/night "resort fee".)
We lost our beloved shih tzu Porsha @15 in Dec. and on this trip we finally found the one we want to follow what was really a perfect companion for us, in Wyoming. We can't pick her up until Oct.16 because she's only 3 weeks right now, but we'll be making that trip too.
Time to go.
