So after ~300 miles and 5+ hours later, I arrived in Las Vegas.
I went there because a conference/class was being held that I wanted to take. It was a holistic and unselfish decision on my part. I do what I do. Regardless of any letters after my name, I will do what I do for everyone and anyone that I come in contact with.
This conference was to prepare me to obtain my CEN, that is, the "Certified Emergency Nurse" designation. After 16+ years of both working and actual experience as a Nurse specializing in emergency medicine, a whole lot more if you consider my career before becoming a nurse... This was a review/prep, that just happened to be in Las Vegas.
I mentioned it to my parents, and asked them if they were interested in going. I could book there room under the conference rate, and get them a good deal. They accepted/agreed and then this became the primary purpose of the trip! Not so much the class, yet an opportunity to visit, and spend time together... a walk about the casino, adventures, meals, memories, discussions, stories...
Something as simple as taking a shuttle, then a walk/run across the street racing a light... then a long walk to a station to catch the LV Monorail... My dad and I, we rode it to the end, back, then back up to another station closer to were we needed to be to catch the shuttle back to The Orlean's. An adventure. An experience. A hot dog. A shared time, just a togetherness.
Simple as that seems, that is my truth!
Today is another day, perhaps I will continue this interlude, or finish "the rest" of the story...
