Not so big tests, but tests nonetheless

Another day spent in Vegas with no slip-ups!  Monday morning found us in the gym in the hotel, after which we went to breakfast at the Il Fornaio Cucina Italiana for some wonderful eggs and doppio espresso.  No meat on my plate, and potatoes exchanged for plain yogurt.  Fantastic!  And the toast was to die for. IMG 4035

To the side you do indeed see a mimosa, and that is the trusty old iPad bringing me up to speed on the news.

Later, we walked down the strip to Caesars to go to the Apple Store (and where did you think we would be going?), where it was easy to resist the temptation technology (how the heck would we get it home) as we compared the new iMac with a MacMini/monitor combo.  We will figure out what we need when we get home.

Then it was back to the Hawaiian Marketplace, where we had Indian buffet lunch (tofu and chicken for me, veggies, tofu and chicken for Wayne), and back to the hotel for a nap and a little creative work on my part to find tickets for a show Tuesday night since the one we wanted to see, Absinthe, is dark on that night.  We got tix to Zarkana, the newest Cirque show in town.

Naps ensued, followed by a return walk to Caesars, where we went to the Palm for dinner. I had a birthday coupon for a 3 lb lobster, and Wayne chose crab cakes.  No need for temptation there, as the side that Wayne ordered was asparagus.  The lobster was huge, but delicious, as was the lobster bisque.  Unfortunately, my poor belly distended from all the food, and that is how it remains this morning.  Hopefully, walking down to the AA meeting (my assignment for class) and then walking back (2.6 miles each way) will help cut the belly back.

Lunch is teppanyaki today, followed by dinner at the Wicked Spoon in the Cosmopolitan, so I know I'd better get my butt in gear and start walking.  We did over 6 miles yesterday (great new app we are using that tracks movement), and it looks like it will be a similar day!
