Gearing Up for Our Vegas Trip
Posted on June 26, 2008 by Ching under Life, Travel.
Only 23 days until Corey and April’s wedding at Mandalay Bay! Woo hoo! Brian and I are gearing up for our upcoming trip. Though Brian has never been to Las Vegas and this will be his first, I seem to be a lot more excited about the trip than he is… He’s probably all tripped out from having had to go to New Hampshire a couple of times already so far this year. Brian has always been anti-travelling. If we could teleport to Vegas and cut out the part where you have to go to the airport and sit through a boring flight, I’m sure he’d probably be much more excited.
Anyway, one of the most important pieces of advice I read is to bring a couple of pairs of comfortable shoes. So my mission this week was to find my perfect flats.
I had found these Me Too “Neda” Mary Jane flats at Aspen Traders a few weeks ago. They were $77, though, so I couldn’t get myself to buy them. Usually, when I find something at the store I like I’m able to find them online for a third or half the store price. I searched and searched for these shoes and could not find them for less. Everytime I found them on sale, they were only in size 10 or 11 and not available in my size. Regular price online was about $83. With shipping it was going to cost more than just buying them locally.
Finally, Brian and I agreed that I should just go back to Aspen Traders and buy them. We went there at lunch on Tuesday. As luck would have it, they started marking down the shoes that day. My shoes just happened to be on sale! And, guess what. The only size left was mine! And, they were the final pairs they had in black, bronze, and silver. I managed to talk Brian into letting me have both the black and bronze pairs. We agreed that it was a good deal because I ended up getting two shoes for the price of one.
I wore the black pair once this week and the bronze pair, which is pretty versatile actually, twice already. They are so comfortable! No break in needed. I love them! I’m not the only one either. Just check out the reviews on Zappos. I’m so glad I found them. They are nice enough to wear with dresses or shorts. I’ll be living in these shoes during our trip.
