Vague about Vegas

Boss wants me to travel to Las Vegas in May, to meet customers during our annual marketing bash. Told him I'd prefer not to go as my wife is pregnant, but also told him it wasn't a hard constraint. He prefers that I be there if its not too much of a problem.

Discussed with Sindha and we feel it should be ok as it would be only for about 10 days. Her parents and/or Kichan should be able to come during that time. Moreover, she would just be in her 8th month, so there wouldn't be much reason to worry.

Still, am apprehensive about the whole thing. Of course, presenting to customers is something I haven't done so far, but should not be too much of a problem. The prospect of being away from her for 10-14 days is weighing on my mind, though. Decisions, decisions.

I searched the web trying to find a decent map of the US with key cities and states highlighted. Had a tough time finding one that didn't want to give me directions to reach a street in Vegas. Does everyone just want to know how to drive to a place ? There doesn't seem to be much interest in a higher level view. Or maybe that is taken for granted. Anyway, after 10 minutes of googling, found out that Vegas is in Nevada and it was close to California. I don't think I have any friends in Nevada. Not that it will influence my decision. Do I have friends in California ? I think I do. However I'm not sure if I will want to go around meeting folks.

Sindha is apprehensive too. Not over my being away, but because I will be away at Vegas, the vice capital of the world. Hey, maybe its not so bad after all, heh heh...
