Just got back from Las Vegas and had a fantastic time. I've manged to put on a few pounds, which I needed to before the surgery. We stayed with Shirin's Aunt and Uncle who live just of the main strip. They looked after us really well ensuring we have lots to keep us busy and helped with Alysaa a lot. We also met some of Shirin's cousins and other family. Spent most of the time eating and shopping. Turns out that the electrical items were not that much cheaper than the uk. But Shirin noticed that designer clothes for Alyssa were a bargain.
We went to see many of the hotels and watched quite a few of the shows. We took Alyssa to the aquarium where she tried to stroke the crocodiles. Let us hope she doesn't meet a croc in real life as I don't think they like to be petted.
Shirin and I had a night off from Alyssa and went gambling in one of the casinos. We placed our first bet on the roulette table and the chap working there asked us if we have every played before. He said that our betting technique was incorrect and that we should places our bets differently. Thanks to his advice we walked away with 225 dollars profit...not bad for a couple of hours work, plus we had free drinks all night. I can see a career change coming on!
We have taken loads of pics and we'll get them on the site soon. Just wanted to get a few words on the blog as I have written in quite a while. Surgery is in about a weeks time and I'll be in hospital for 2 weeks so I hope that some of you will be able to visit me at St Thomas's Hospital. I'll put the date and ward details on here later. I hope that they have internet access.
Weight : over 11 stone!
Eating : Lots of mexican food...yum yum
