Twitpic of the Trip - I knew this one the second I took it.  As I was wandering around the pool taking pictures, looked up, saw the sun at the top of the Eiffel Tower and just started taking pictures.  The shot we chose is slightly askew, which is why it’s our favorite.  It kind of made me think that Paris is the center of warmth in the world making Vegas my paradise.  Every time I’m in Vegas, I wander around looking for something beautiful to take a picture.  The problem is I always seem to find hundreds but this was my favorite of this trip.

Twitpic of the Trip

Our “Pic of the Trip” goes to a photosynth shot I took of Luxor with Mandalay off to the left and a hint of Excalibur to the right.  What is so special about this picture is not only the stunning shots you can get with photosynth but I was dealing with a lot of sun reflections not to mention the solar eclipse.  So when I went to take this picture, I kept moving until Luxor hid the sun.  The result is a very ethereal look to the property that original brought me to Vegas almost as if Luxor was emulating an epiphany that this property and city would forever change my life.

Vegas Mate Review of the Trip

K Wojtowicz's Aug 23rd revew of Cabo Wabo @ Planet Hollywood 1/5 chips

Twitpic of the Week - This trips winner goes to Bryan's wife Angela for her picture or the view from our room at night.  It was breath taking and was the center of everything we did for the whole trip.  Not once did I walk into our room and not go out on the balcony.  Every evening, every morning, it was the first thing we did when we entered the room and the last thing we did before checking out.  Everything else in the room was great, we loved it but that view.  I’ll never forget it, possibly for the rest of my life.  We took dozens of pictures of it but we chose a shot at night with the fountains going off as out Twitpic of the trip.
