Day 1 in Las Vegas - Saturday 29th

Sunday, 19 February 2012 21:22 Written by

We arrived in Las Vegas after an uneventful flight with WestJet (about 4 hours). 

We took a taxi to the RV center (about 20 minutes) in blistering heat (38C+).  

We had to watch the video all about taking care of the RV (Paul had watched it before but I made him watch through it again).   We signed up all the papers (paid extra $60 to not have to fill up the propane or do the grey or black water – yuck – well worth it).  

Basics of a trip

Get the ticket bought.  Then, check out Jack Rabbit’s email blasts and the Survival Guide for much information. 

The important thing is water.  All else is secondary.  Got to bring our own.  This will be fun !

Not much time to go !

I’ve got most of my items all ready to pack, but need to wrap up the clothing (most shorts, tshirts, lots of socks, undies, etc). Still might get a few more of the bike lights (spoke lights) as I have only one. Little things like various drugs (just in case) are still on the list, but we’ll be passing by Walmarts and various stores while we are collecting all the items for the trip down there.

PEANUT OIL (10 Gallons) – whats that possibly for?
Also, 100 buns, 5 6litre boxes of chillable red wine (Sangria’s I assume),
3 lbs grated parmesan cheese and some other things.
We should be fine, but the RV will be crowded as we are also getting 2 bikes down there (new) and assembling them. Maybe they will go on the roof ?

Its thursday, two days to go.  I’m just starting up the blog to set it up for blogging on a daily basis for text items, and to include photos. 
Heres a pix of my ticket that cost about $260 back in march. There are supposed to be about 65,000 people there.  Paul Mizzi and I have joined the LAMP LIGHTERS and are in the village with our 24’ RV (with air con and all the luxuries).   I’ll be drinking lots of water soon – they recommend over a gallon a day.  Lots of PC in that !
