My parents went to Las Vegas today. At some point over the last 2 or 3 years, they realized that it was futile to hold out on vacations in order to coordinate with my schedule and take family trips together. So on a whim, they decided to take a mini-vacation out west, specifically Las Vegas. Pretty cute, huh?

Except my mom lost her wallet along the way… completely gone (stolen perhaps?). Luckily for her, she never puts anything useful in her wallet anyways because she depends on my dad to have money, credit cards, passport, gift cards, all the important stuff one normally keeps in one’s wallet. The only thing she had in there was her driver’s license.

Having recently requested a replacement after losing my own driver’s license, I became the front-line consultant. My dad gave me all of her information earlier tonight, and I very quickly submitted a duplicate license request for my mom just now. Then I called my dad to tell him that I’ve put in the request, and that more likely than not by the time they get home early next week, her new license will have already arrived in the mailbox.

He sounded unusually giddy when I told him this. Then he told me that they were currently drinking beers. Apparently they got thirsty, and waters cost $6.50 a glass whereas beers are only $2. So naturally, they went for the beer.

That’s Vegas for ya … I hope they have a fun time out there :)
