What happens in Vegas…

November 21st, 2008

This weekend, Ian and I and our friends Valeri and Jamie are going to Vegas. It’s my first time and I’m psyched. Getting there should be interesting, and being there will be fun. We’re staying at the Golden Nugget, which has a shark tank in the pool. With a slide going through it. Oh my god.

Growing up I read all these books about shark attacks, boats getting capsized, and shark hunts. And while sharks are fascinating, I hate them. I used to worry about sharks hanging out in the deep end of the pool. Irrational fear, right? I still have it. I won’t go in the ocean either, because in addition to being horribly polluted, there are sharks in there. Ian has tried to convince me otherwise, but then he showed me this video. That’s right by my house. So yeah. I hate sharks.

I think, however, that I’m going to have to go in. Muster my courage and go for it. I have an underwater housing on my camera, so I may even bring back proof. Wish me luck.

    I hope you take lots of photos from INSIDE the tube as you are sliding down amongst the sharks! Or Ian takes pictures of your expression as you are sliding down the tube amongst the sharks. I’m guessing that will create a different set of wrinkles…Have a phenomenal experience!
