A Reunion at Sin City, A Trip to Wonder of the World and A very Happy Thanksgiving
"We ride together, we die together. Bad boys for life."
Introduction
I look back two months ago and I don't even see 7 of us ready for the trip. Two weeks back, we had no details of the trip. Somehow, we got it right. As always! :)
There is so much I have to say that I could write a 200-page book on it. But who has the time for it, unless ofcourse, somebody is ready to pay for it :) So instead, I'll just write my experience in a blogger's style.
We planned this trip in a way that, with one stone, we kill 2 (actually, a lot more) birds at the same time. We visit Las Vegas, drive to Grand Canyon, visit some *points* and return back to Las Vegas. Ofcourse, during the trip, we see casinos, take fun-rides, see the sunset at Grand Canyon, maybe even a helicopter ride and gamble. The icing over the cake was that this was suppose to be our 1st annual reunion. But not everything worked out. We planned for a "Frisbee Football Championship" (a Clemson tradition) but we forgot (or rather, avoided) to get one. We wanted to gamble but not everyone wanted to "waste" their money. We wanted to camp but the weather was real bad. We wanted to hike but could not find a trail (this one, I made up ;) ) All in all, it was a "Screw-up" Planning.
The Photographer
So we screwed up with the sleeping bags, the camping, the maps, directions and even with the schedule but in the end, it was all too right to believe it. Another spectacular trip! A trip with 300+ "Kodak" moments! Most of these snaps were taken courtesy of a new member in the group - Pritam. Although his camera didn't take clear photos (that was the popular opinion), he became an instant favorite to take snaps. I guess it was his passion for taking snaps of casino buildings, nature scenery and even ducks that made him our official photographer.
