Then the [21st of December-SUNDAY] came. That morning at [11PM], the four girls met up in front of the airport of LAX. After the four of them arrived, together they walked to the gate into the plane. They took their seats which was the four seats in the middle row of the plane in the back. During the plane ride for one hour, the girls were talking to each other about their trip.

Caroline (*to Aria) : Did you send your mom and Lia off okay the other day ?
Aria : yeah. My mom said that she had already made it to Korea.
Aria : Lia's teacher called and let me know that the kids had arrived at the campsite.
Caroline : you miss them ?
Aria : its only been two days but i miss them already.
Adaleina : what exactly are we going to do in Vegas for two weeks ?
Kristin : explore around the city and have fun, of course.
Adaleina : you mean drinking ?
Kristin : you know it. you need to turn up once in a while and these weeks are it.
Kristin : there are a ton of things to do in Vegas, duh !
Kristin : ive been waiting for this day to come since i started working at the firm.
Adaleina : well, your wish had came true. (*smiles)
Aria : tell me you guys arent excited ? i am too. (*smiles)
Caroline : its been stressful for me too these past couple of days.
Caroline : its good that we are vacationing after so long.
Aria : lets enjoy this time.

An hour later, the four of them got off of the plane and grabbed their belongings. They took a taxi to Bellagio. While taking a taxi to Bellagio, the taxi lady asked a few things about the four and got to know them better.

Taxi Lady (*looks through her rear view mirror & asks) : so where are you girls head off to ?

Caroline : Ah, i see. where are places to explore here ?
Taxi Lady : there are lots. you name it, we have them.
Caroline : is it like they say 'what stays in Vegas, should stay in Vegas' ?
Taxi Lady : that is 'what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas'. (*smiles)

Caroline (*rubbing her arm)
Aria (*to the Taxi Lady) : did yoou say that you have been driving for 20 years ?
Taxi Lady : yes i did.
Taxi Lady (*arriving in front of the hotel & says) : we're here.
Adaleina : already ?

The Taxi Lady parked and the four of them got off of the car. The lady helped them get their luggages off from the trunk. The four put in money and paid the lady. Then the lady gave them her business card and said......

Taxi Lady : if you ever need another ride, you can contact me on my business card.
