Stephen & Leanna on the road

Tuesday, 18th: woke up, used the double-hot-tub one last time, had a great breakfast at the pyramid cafe, left Vegas. Got a call that my mother was very sick, near death, better blow off the vacation and get home. Three hours later, mother is sitting up in bed eating jello. Since Leanna and I are both sick with colds and having trouble staying alert, we stopped before we were unsafe to drive. If mother is better tomorrow, we will resume the vacation with a visit to a tiger sanctuary.
