Really? I will be in Vegas as well. I will be getting there on the 16th and leaving on the 20th.
We have a trip planned to Venice next weekend as well. I sure hope the models are wrong!
Sorry for the derail.

It's official now.
MIAMI - Forecasters say Tropical Storm Ernesto has formed in the Atlantic and is speeding toward a chain of small, popular vacation islands in the Caribbean Sea.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami said Thursday afternoon that the storm is headed west at about 22 mph (35 kph) toward the Caribbean. Tropical storm warnings are in effect for the islands of Barbados, Dominica, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Martinique, Guadeloupe and the Grenadines.
The storm's maximum sustained winds are rapidly gaining strength and were at 50 mph (80 kph).
Forecasters say the storm is expected to strengthen further. Its general track takes it toward Jamaica, though forecasters warn that the path of a tropical system can be unpredictable. Cuba and some countries in Central America also could be affected.

No dental conference for me. I am actually racing in a desert race, 550 miles one way to Reno on Friday. The start line is about an hour outside of Vegas. If all goes well I will be to Reno Friday night and will be back in Vegas on Saturday evening.

Haha, driver and codriver seat. I am sharing driving duties with a friend of mine in his rig. I recently sold mine so he asked if I wanted to do the race with him on a combined effort. Really works out well for me, I get to fly in and drive and fly back home. I do not have to tow a car all the way across the country and back.
