Timeline

My tradition for the past 12 years is driving to Vegas and partying for 3 nights on the Strip for New Years. Only missed one year a few years back due to a snow storm that closed all the interstates. Last year we went to LA for a few nights, then drove to Vegas for 2 and then back to LA which was great. This year we planned to go just to LA and celebrate it at this club we always go to.

Now that the divorce is finalized, I have no definate plans. My 2 friends I go to Vegas with many of the years, don't know if they will have the time off as both used their vacation time being sick already. I was invited in Sept by my coworker to spend it with her, but now doubt that will happen and really I have no freaking clue.

My friend in Vegas might be moving and is now unemployed so they won't be going out if I go there alone. If I'm here, I might just go to a club. First time I have no actual plans for once...

I'm just a wanderer in the desert winds...

Probably something with copious amounts of alcohol.

Oh yaaaa. :lol:

Honestly, we aren't big party people and there is a chance Jared will be working! haha But I hope it involves champagne. I like your idea, krikit.

"...My hair's mostly wind,

My eyes filled with grit

My skin's white then brown

My lips chapped and split

I've lain on the prairie and heard grasses sigh

I've stared at the vast open bowl of the sky

I've seen all the castles and faces in clouds

My home is the prairie and for that I am proud…

If You're not from the Prairie, you can't know my soul

You don't know our blizzards; you've not fought our cold

You can't know my mind, nor ever my heart

Unless deep within you there's somehow a part…

A part of these things that I've said that I know,

The wind, sky and earth, the storms and the snow.

Best say that you have - and then we'll be one,

For we will have shared that same blazing sun." - David Bouchard

No problems there, still got a solid two months to find some place to find somewhere to destroy your liver :)

I always used to get down right before New Years, My birthday is 4 days before it and I hate birthdays. But I always made up for it by having incredible New Years eves. I would always try to go out of the country or at a minimum out of town. My favorite place will always be either Las Vegas or Amsterdam. This year, I think Mel and I will spend it alone. It really is our first together and I like the idea of that. I just feel too old to go out and party like a maniac. :blush:

Haha you're never too old for one night of craziness a year :) I'm 28 and starting to feel like I only have a few more club/bar trips in me for New Years but then hopefully I'll have enough money to hit up Vegas Lol.

Well, I hit 30 a couple of years ago and that was about when it started. Vegas on New Years is CRAZAZAZAZAY. But in a good way. Last time I was in Las Vegas for new years was 2005. The drive there from L.A. was insane. I was doing 95 in the slow lane and holding traffic up. I get there about 11:30 and it's like the building up of a crescendo. The strip is closed to traffic and people are just running around completely wasted. It was about 0 degrees celcius at midnight and people just started taking their clothes off and climbing on all the light posts and street lights. Hey, it's vegas, once you enter the city limits, you automatically get a little crazy.

If Jared is working and you're home do you wanna go to Time Square? :D

We can bring flasks! :lol:

Actually I think the crowds would annoy me... but there's times where I think it would be hilarious to go there during that time.

I've been to Time Square a couple of times for new years. When I was there for the millenium new years, the security was insane. They had barricades up and down the three main streets and were actually frisking people at one point. When I got frisked, they found a bottle of Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, and some Bacardi rum. The cop looked at me and started laughing because my 4 friends all had roughly the same amount. They asked us each (separately) why we each had so much. We were actually truthful and told them that we anticipated getting frisked and losing some of it. They actually let us each go with a bottle.

See ya, it's one of those things I'd like to experience just once. :lol:

Now that I am living an hour away why not! It's an experience.

I remember the best NYE I had was the first one my husband and I had together. I was living in Barrie and Fred Penner was playing a kids show downtown. We went and we were pretty inebriated, and we were singing all along to his songs.

The cat came back... the very next day.... the cat came back... I thought he was a goner but the cat came back the very next daaaay... MEOOOOOWWWW. :lol:

Haha it's fun being an a$$hat sometimes.
