Over the next 64 days, while we live in Lake Las Vegas until we head to the airport to make the almost two-day journey to Marloth Park, South Africa, we won’t have many new photos and exciting stories to tell. Without a rental car, which we don’t need here, we’ll have few opportunities to see much other than our immediate surroundings.
Thus, this fact leaves little fodder for our new posts. Subsequently, we’ve decided to post five times a week instead of seven. Of course, we’ll post on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, but we may skip one or two of the next few days. Once we arrive in South Africa, we will post daily as we had in the past, with a daily influx of exciting photo ops.
No, we won’t have many photos to post while we’re here. However, we’re excited to post photos from New Year’s Eve, with the party beginning after dark with decorations, music, fireworks, and a boat parade.
Occasionally, we’ll take an Uber for dinner in Henderson and possibly even the Las Vegas Strip. Last year, Richard took us to the Sphere on my birthday in February, a fantastic one-time experience for which we shared many photos. Since we don’t gamble, going to the Strip is unimportant. After all, we’ve been coming here for over 30 years and have seen and done so much.
On Christmas Day, we posted our upcoming itinerary and will continue to do so for seven posts in the event some of you may have missed it over the busy holiday season. Here it is, once again:

Also, while listening to yesterday’s Garage Logic podcast from Minnesota this morning, Joe Soucheray spoke about us. If you’d like to hear it, please click here and scroll forward 1 hour, 20 minutes, and 48 seconds to where they began. It’s always such fun when they share information about our lives and world travels. Thank you, Joe Soucheray and the guys!
Our Albertson’s grocery order will arrive at our door in a few minutes. Once we put everything away, take the trash down to the trash room, do some prep for tonight’s dinner, and tackle my exercises, we’ll be free for the remainder of the day. I’ll see if I can convince Tom to go for a walk, but there’s no guarantee. In any case, it will be another good day.
Be well.
