One-Hour Jet Lag

L and I flew to Chicago on Friday, losing an hour due to the time difference travelling east to west. Saturday night saw the end of daylight savings and all the clocks in L's parents' home were turned ahead one hour, making me and L feel like we were back on schedule to east coast time. So the question we were both wondering is this: when we fly back to New York this week, do we lose an hour of wedding planning?

While boarding the plane, L and I talked about how many trips we've been making back and forth to Chicago and Milwaukee recently and how nice it would be to go away together on vacation for a change.

"We should definitely go on vacation," said L.

"I know what you mean," I said. "I could really go for another trip to Las Vegas" L was not thrilled with this response, as she thinks I've become a tad obsessed since my return from my bachelor party. Going with good friends and winning enough money to pay for part of your trip will do that to a guy.

"Ugh," she let out. "Enough with Las Vegas already. Can we not go to Las Vegas?"

"Okay," I said and then paused. "How about Reno?"

Go to Lake Tahoe. It's so much more than a bunch of casinos. The lake is gorgeous, and so are the mountains. It will satisfy the need for romance in just about anyone who goes there. Even my father in law gets misty eyed talking about the place.

And you, can get a little fix of gambling.

Just go before Mid June. Then the touristas and their 6 kids each show up and ruin the magic.

Hey, don't knock Reno! I love it here, we are close enough to both Tahoe and Pyramid lakes to make any outdoor activity that you are intersted in just a hop, skip and jump away! Plus, we do have casinos and excellent night life... come to Reno - it's fun!

LOL about the family cell phone plan. Which one did you like the best? My husband and I are looking into a family plan.

What's so bad with Reno? Typical east coast snobbery if you ask me.
