moncyb's Journal: Las Vegas trip.

Went on the trip to Vegas. Left noon Saturday, returned about noon Sunday. About fourteen hours driving total, including two hours driving around Las Vegas. Note to self: when traveling to a city, have a specific destination in mind. Just driving around hoping you'll find something interesting doesn't always work.

Driving to Vegas wasn't very eventful unless you count slow drivers (55 in a 75 MPH zone? why? I can understand the various vehicles with trailers or a big load, but not normal cars.) and trying to figure out pre pay gas.

I hadn't owned a car in a long time, so I'm out of practice guessing how much gas I'll need to fill the tank. Also, why don't all the prepay place have a sign somewhere saying so? One place didn't say anywhere, and as luck would have it, it was the first prepay I've been to in a long time. I did read all the signs/notes (nothing said prepay) tried to pump gas, and some woman says in the intercom, "you'll have to come inside to pay first unless you want to use a credit card." In a really bored but annoyed voice--as if I were stupid, as if I am supposed to be psychic and automatically know their place is prepay only. I bet a lot of drivers come in and do the same thing because they assumed it was pump first, pay later (like most gas stations I've seen). Her voice seemed to reflect that too.

More later, I've got to go now. I saw my roommate smoking something outside, so I am probably being exposed as I type this.
