This year we had no trouble filling the bus! We left Pasadena at 8:30 and got to the East San Gabriel Valley Japanese Cultural Institute around 9:15....we loaded up the West Covina group and got on the road a little after 9:30. Turned out that many folks had brought goodies to share with everyone on the bus, so we never really had to stop in Barstow! Thanks to everyone for bringing goodies (including hot Krispy Creme Donuts)....
We played 10-games of bingo before we stopped at the Barstow Station for a short break. Each winner got $10 to play with in Vegas! Our Estimated Time of arrival to Barstow was won by Carol Oyama, who got to pocket $20 for her time guess.
On our way to Las Vegas, Frank pulled out the horses, we formed 6-teams and played the horseracing game. It was a close finish, and Team 2 (Haruko, Reiko and Jeannie) won the pot on their first toss of the dice! It was a come from behind win! So then we had the raffle ticket drawing for $10 and then the estimated time of arrival at the Cal Club was won by Joe Watari. He had estimated 3:20, and the bus stopped at 3:18 PM (Kyoko and Kristy both had 3:15....so it was close).
