Getting all packed & ready for my first trip to Las Vegas! Leaving tonight on a 9pm flight out of Milwaukee on AirTran Airways to visit my niece. I have an accessible van rented from Wheelchair Getaways, which will be at the airport when we get there, then about a 30 min. drive to the Golden Nugget where we'll be staying.
We have plans to go kayaking on Lake Mead through Dessert Adventures. I absolutely love kayaking, so I'm very excited to check out some of the islands and coves Lake Mead has. I'm bringing my paddle adaptations but I won't have my special seat that gives me trunk support, so this should be interesting. It will be hot that afternoon and the water will be around 75 degrees (which is what it was here today in Wisconsin).
We also hope to go skydiving through Skydiving Las Vegas, but I have to get "evaluated" first to see if they feel comfortable taking me up (and I guess more importantly getting me down safely, ha!). The manager said they usually spend several days with someone who has a disability, and I may not be in Vegas long enough for them to feel comfortable skydiving with me, so we'll see.
I just bought tickets for the production Le Reve and we will be checking out the Titanic exhibit as well. And of course cooling off at the pool and spending some time down on the strip shopping and in the casinos.
I'll be taking lots of notes and pics so I can share my trip with you when I get back!
