I think we found our newest favorite machine. The hotel had a draw poker machine that you can play up to 100 hands. It only costs 1 to 5 cents per hand. So playing 5 cents is a 5 dollar bet. You have to play with a completely different strategy. Both Angie and I did pretty well on this machine. I think we made about $75 playing.

How many hands of poker can you play?
Monday, January 2nd, 2006I wish I was a Klingon, A vulcan, a Q or an Andorian!
Sunday, January 1st, 2006We had dinner with Trevor and Kerry. They brought me a bottle of Klingon blood wine 😉
The bottle was autographed by non-other than Ambassador K’Ehleyr.
The only actress to appear as 4 different aliens in 3 different “Star Trek” series: Vulcan `Lt. Selar’ and Klingon `K’Ehleyr’ on “Star Trek: The Next Generation” (1987), the female ‘Q’ on “Star Trek: Voyager” (1995) and `Tarah’, the first female Andorian on “Enterprise” (2001).
The long road goodnight
Sunday, January 1st, 2006Wow, who would have thought there is a lot of nothing between Cambria and Las Vegas. We headed out after breakfast and drove out from the coast. It was raining for most of the trip. Until we got over the Tehachapi Pass, the rain didn’t let up.
It’s pretty funny that I grew up and lived in the Mohave desert for seven years and worked on the Space Shuttle in 1984 and never made it out to Edwards air-force base. This was the first time I have driven by it.
After two stops for gas and one for food, we finally made it to Las Vegas.
Now I know how Dionysus Feels!
Sunday, January 1st, 2006Today we embarked on our full day of wine tasting. We took a tour so that we didn’t have to worry about directions of drinking too much.
We stopped at five wineries as well as a nice little frech bistro for lunch. I was really surprised that Angie didn’t turn away any of the red wine tastings. Maybe she is developing a broader pallet 😉
We found several wines we each liked and one wine we both agreed we liked. All in all it was a fun, festive day.
Cheese, Wine and Crackers! Oh My! And Salami Too!
Friday, December 30th, 2005We made it to Cambria. got here a little later than I wanted to, so it was dark when we got here. We found out way to our hotel. Stayed at the Fog Catcher Inn.
The really cool thing is they were able to get us on the wine tour trip for the next day. This was one of the main reason we came back to Cambria. They had cancelled the wine tour about two weeks earlier.
We checked into our room. It has a fantastic view of the ocean and a nice gas fireplace. We popped over to the store and picked up some Wine, Cheese , Salami and crackers. We went back to the room and cracked open the wine, and ate until we were stuffed. Thank goodness for my trusty swiss army knife.
