70. With Sherry, Mom, Dad, Dana, Sue, Jody, Mimi, Karen, and Vic - New York, New York, March 16-18, 1997

• A very stressful trip. We decided to drive, and that turned out to be a mistake. With this many people it took us forever to get to Vegas and back. Even though the trip took three days, we were virtually only in Las Vegas for one.

• This time it was my turn for the fake magazine cover: Elvis in front of the MGM Grand.

• We stayed at New York-New York for the first and last time. (No ice on some of the floors, lengthy wait for bell service, etc., etc.)
