I love Spring Break

#1 Post by lilclyde54 » Mon Mar 10, 2008 12:20 pm

The Baboo and I leave in the morning for four days on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Harrah's is taking care of the accomodations (Grand Biloxi) and the drive is short so I am ready for day-break. We have day trips scheduled for the Hard Rock and Beau Rivage (Baby Bellagio) to take advantage of some free play offers. If the weather predictions come through (low to mid 70's - sunny to partly cloudy), we will be able to put in some good pool time.

I was glad to see that weather report since it snowed here (just a tiny accumulation) Friday night. Things change quickly down here in March. :wink:

Y'all have a great week. See you this weekend.
I felt the change

Time meant nothing and never would again

Good luck!

Please report on how things have recovered down there.

Zorb as in Zorbing? Emma wants to do a Zorbing trip, because she thinks that it's really cool.

Exactly.

I will be doing it in October - the only place right now, in the US, is in Pigeon Forge.

For the rest of us
Zorbing is an activity where riders enter into large inflatable plastic balls and ride along the ground, on water or down hills.

The balls have two transparent skins which are connected together by wires and a tunnel by which the riders enter the ball. Air is inflated between the skins which forms a cushion to protect the riders.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I have to wonder if the surveillance cameras in the Casino will start flashing "low roller" "low roller" over my picture as I walk into the casino.

Maybe I'm not psychologically prepared to go since I typed May 26th and I actually going March 26th.

You must reschedule for May.

You will win big in May.
