Road Trip to Las Vegas

Another chapter of my life is beginning, so I guess it is only appropriate that my blog starts up again to document it.  This chapter will be my life in Las Vegas as a singer in Donn Arden’s Jubilee! It is a 6 month contract, performing 10-12 shows a week at the Bally’s Hotel and Casino. 

This chapter started with a road trip to Las Vegas.  I am so thankful that I had Maarten to drive with me or it would have been such a boring drive.  It is not every day that one gets the chance to drive across the United States of America, so we thought that we would take full advantage of the opportunity and see as much as we could along the way.  We drove through 17 states, 3207.9 miles, saw amazing places, visited wonderful people, laughed until we cried, got a little bored and made unforgettable memories.  Here is a little bit about our day to day goings-on. 

 

Day 1: Portland, Me – Shippensburg, PA (547.4 miles)

Beautiful day driving and deals at the Bent & Dent

Day 2: Shippensburg, PA – Chattanooga, TN (620 miles)

Luray Caverns on the way to Cyndy & Bruce's house

Day 3: Chattanooga, TN – Carlisle, AR (475.3 miles)

Jack Daniel's Distillery and Beale Street in Memphis for oysters

Day 4: Carlisle, AR – Amarillo, TX (618 miles)

Oak-la-homa!, Cattlemen's Café for some steak and Route 66

 

 

Day 5: Amarillo, TX

Snowed in in Texas, who-da-thunk?

 

Day 6: Amarillo, TX – Holbrook, AZ (517 miles)

Closed down I-40, Cadillac Ranch and beautiful Arizona

Day 7: Holbrook, AZ – Las Vegas, NV (424 miles)

Petrified Forest National Park and the world's largest Meteor Crater

 

And now we are here in Las Vegas! We are getting settled in and having a great time being together and getting to know the area.  More to come as things progress!
