Bellagio Fountain video


Thought that I would try and put the video of the Bellagio Fountains on here.  I didn't know how much space the video would take up on my camera so I only took 30 seconds worth.  I wish that I would have caught the whole thing.  I think that I will put a video of Terry Fator on here  if this works out ok.  

Well, Erin and the girls are visiting.  It is a little cramped in this little room, but I think that we will deal with it just fine.  It is really good to see them even if the living conditions aren't the grandest.

More from Flyback from Vegas





Ok,  Here are some pics of the Grand Canyon.  I have a lot of pictures from the BEAUTIFUL American landscape.  It is just really difficult to sit here and get all of them on my blog.  And lets face it, I still have to update the Flat Stanley Blog.  So, I am going to keep it brief.  


We flew from Las Vegas into Albuquerque, New Mexico and from there into Lubbock, Texas. We stayed the night there and then flew into Houston Texas, from there we hit up Dallas, and then on into New Orleans, Louisiana.  We stayed the night in the Big Easy and then headed out for a little gas-and-go in Alabama.  We flew into Charleston, South Carolina and had to stop due to weather coming in through North Carolina.  We stayed the night in South Carolina and got up the next morning into Norfolk, Virginia.  Yes folks,  that is four days of travel in the back of a HH-60H.  It was a long and fairly rough flight.  I was really glad to get back here in Norfolk. I would prefer to be in Jacksonville, Florida, but I will take what I can get.

Flyback from Vegas (Last Leg)





Ok,  I have a lot of pictures.  More than I could ever post on Blogger.  I will get some pictures of the Grand Canyon up here because there are some really good ones.  Other than that I don't think I will get too much more on here.  (Up Above)  Pictures from the Southern States.  (Bottom) USS Alabama in Mobile Bay; (2nd from Bottom) Gulfport water tower; (2nd from Top) Mississippi Delta; (Top) HH-60H over LSU Stadium.

Working to get her up!

Well, I had a good time in Vegas.  I am happier to be back in Norfolk.  (Never thought that I would ever say that.)  It was really cool.  I liked the land scape and the weather wasn't terrible. I didn't like the fact that it was so dry that my  nose hurt or ran the whole time.  There was obviously a lot to see.  I have a whole lot of pictures, but there are too many to post. 

While in Vegas:  Well, I would hope that you saw my post about Terry Fator.  That was pretty much the highlight of my trip.  I did see a lot of cool things.  The fountains at the Bellagio were really cool.  The fountains were to music, they would move and spray to the beat and rhythm of the music.  I have a video, but I am not certain as to how I am going to get it on here.  There were lots of lights.  Some of the Casino's were unbelievable.  I will put some more pictures of some of the interior of the Casinos. All in all, it was a good trip.  I am just glad to be back here. I wish I were back home, but this will have to suffice.
