LOL Las Vegas Mandicrafts DAY 1

Hello All!
I have been in my room at PARIS Las Vegas for 1/2 hour now!  Woo Hoo!  Its sunny & gorgeous but a little cooler than expected so I hope it warms up since I brought mostly sandals & capris to wear since there is still SNOW back home.

It was a whirlwind couple of days to wind down my eBay auctions so I have none ending till a day or two before my return home.  I loaded a bunch on scheduled list to start as of today & every day I am away as well as started a few 10 day auctions this past weekend so I wasn't down to absolute zero auctions!  Of course there is one of those RARE listing sales on eBay for today and tomorrow but after posting here I plan on going out to explore a little!!  This is partly my vacation, Treasure Hunting trip as well as attending Lynn's LOL!

I found that as soon as I put my vacation settings on my eBay store & listings Sunday, I had a SURGE in sales!  Go figure??!!  Hopefully, all the buyers read my notice about a delay in shipment & I'll make sure I remind them over the next week.

My room at Paris is lovely!  A King sized bed, busy blue & white striped walls, a separate tub & marble shower, a little two-seater French Provincial style couch & armchair and BEST OF ALL - A COFFEE MAKER!!  I have NEVER seen a coffee maker in any hotel room in Vegas!  That will save me on room service every morning!  I cannot leave my room without first having my coffee, as my friends & loved ones will attest!

Internet is a little pricey at $14.95 every 24 hrs, but they want you down in the casino & not BLOGGING :)

My spare empty suitcase I found in a Florida Thrift last year when I was trying to lug my many treasures home, fit PERFECTLY into my own suitcase!  With Air Canada ONE bag is free but the second is $25 to $30.  So I got the second bag down here for free & for the return journey it's still cheaper than mailing a box home, so I'm all set to find treasures here to fill up my spare case!  I packed light, so no comments if you see the same outfit more than once!  AND I only brought 3 pairs of shoes besides the runners I wore on the plane!  As a "shoe maven" that is GOOD for me! (Of course, that doesn't mean I won't be buying a pair down here!!)

I am excited to be here, & I'm sure I'll start running into LOL attendees in the next few days as they start streaming in so stay tuned for news as it unfolds!

Bear Hugs
