Up early (as usual!!) and my first thought was- VEGAS!! My second thought was-UGH!! Still 11 weeks to go! It doesn't matter that we were there in June. I am just so anxious to go back...11 weeks! 77 more sleeps!! Sure, DH and I have been doing some great things this summer-we recently spent a weekend in Atlantic City and saw Peter Frampton there-TERRIFIC by the way and we have some plans for the next few weekends, but Vegas is the big plan I can't wait for!! (but I must!!)

So, who else is counting the sloooowwww weeks until they leave?? Jan

I try not to think about it because it depresses me when a trip to Vegas is still a long way off!

Haven't even booked our Dec trip yet and am almost glad I haven't done it, that way I don't have a long countdown!

75 more days for us. I got up at 4 am this morning scanning here to see if something new is going on. My time waiting will start speeding along now because today is the first day of school so now I will be teaching all day those wonderful kids in the world.

Good luck on your first day back, Sher. My son is a teacher but doesn't go back for a couple of weeks. Looking forward to meeting you at our little M&G!! Jan

Gabby- you could start a countdown to your "booking date"-- I do think it is better to have a countdown -at least it means you are going!! LOL Jan

41 days and counting. Got our ACG coupon book and setting up our itinerary. My girlfriends and I have changed our cell phone ring to Viva Las Vegas and our wallpaper is the Vegas welcome sign. We are psyched.

50 more days. I know 11 weeks sounds like a long time, but some people say "happiness is having someting to look forward to". So when your stressed out, you still have that thought of "looking forward" to your trip. I look forward so much to this trip soooo much. Even my kids are like "Dad are you looking at Vegas on the computer again?"

We look forward to our trips so much, we all know how we feel when it ends. So I wonder, do you all enjoy your LAST day of your vegas trip. Sometimes I go into "slow down" mode on the last day. I just don't want it to end and you start to think about home and work on your last day in Vegas.

Sounds like you will be there the week of 11/3. We will be there the week of 11/10. We were just in AC yesterday and I said that's it until we go to Vegas for the 6th year in a row.

I have 50 days left until I fly out to Vegas. Booked it in April 2007 so have counted down from 541 days. I think I have been pretty patient but now its getting closer, time is going so slowly. Can't wait for the 8th October. COME ON ALREADY!!!
