Las Vegas, NV, USA


Girls ONLY!

SynopsisHelen and Jan, flew to Las Vegas, wandered around some, dined some and gambled some, saw some shows, lost some and won some ... I was told ... connected with Stella, apparently hiked some (here's the proof) and then flew home.

Excerpt from KANOE TRIPPING Journal ... 
" Keith gave Jan a trip to Las Vegas for her birthday (we won't say which one). Since Keith doesn't gamble and 'what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas', I decided to tag along. In addition, I had accumulated $1200 in winnings over the previous 2 years, so I had some mad money to spend. I also brought some of Mom's ashes along to spread around - she did love Vegas! "
