Mesa Grill

For those of you that have the stamina to continue partying with us for the second night of MOAB II, I am pleased to confirm that we will be dining at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill in Ceasar's Palace from 7pm.

Jim, Letty, Michelle and I have eaten there before on a previous Vegas trip and are looking forward to once again experiencing those tantalizing South Western flavors (and perhaps a Margarita or two) before we head out for the big night.

Ole!

Paul and Steph's Adventure Starts Wednesday

Hey MOAB II Participants,

Just a quick update as we are now just over a week away from the Vegas fun. For some of us, however, the adventure begins a little sooner.

First up are Paul and Steph who will be leaving London and arriving in San Francisco next Thursday, courtesy of Northwest Airlines. They're arriving at 4:49pm on Flight 369 after a brief stopover in Minneapolis.

I intend to meet them from the flight and whisk them off to the SFO Marriott for their layover - and perhaps dinner at Max's Opera House? - before they head up to the City and Alcatraz on Thursday. We'll be driving back down to Kingsburg together on Thursday late afternoon in order to get ready for MOAB II itself.

It's nearly time, y'all! Can you see the lights? Can you hear the sounds? Can you smell the cigarettes?

MOAB II Arrangements

I just checked the calendar and it would appear that we are just about to cross the '30 days remaining' threshold for MOAB II. That means it's time to start finalizing travel arrangements and whatnot.

For those of you who are travelling by car we'll need to figure out designated drivers and vehicles. The numbers are as follows:

To Las Vegas - 10
From Las Vegas - 8 (Bill & Rita are flying back early)

Also, I believe that Janie will be taking a detour to visit relatives in LA on the way back so we will need to account for that with respect to vehicles.

Who would like to be assigned 'vehicle coordination' responsibilities?

Lastly, I'll be investigating early dinner reservations for everyone at Mesa Grill (Bobby Flay's restaurant) at Caesar's Palace on the Saturday evening before we head out for the purple party.
