I just spent the last few days at Primm, NV (stateline with CA) for a work trip. The big event of the meeting was a trip into Las Vegas to see "Mamma Mia!" at Mandalay Bay. It's a play about a girl searching to find her father on the eve of her wedding. The songs of ABBA make up the musical portion and are weaved in and around the plot. It was fun and if you like ABBA's music then you'll enjoy the play.
Innsbruck - here despite it never being on my to-see list
First the backstory. In about a week I'll be boarding a cruise ship (this year's Cruise Trek) in Romania. When I booked the flight many months ago, I had a brilliant idea to go in a week early to Vienna and use it as a base to spend a few nights each in Albania and Bosnia. Fast forward to 6 weeks ago and the Covid restrictions, flight schedules, and hotel prices made me give up. Changing the flight to Vienna would result in penalties and possibly fare increases so I made the best of it and thought, where can I go in Austria where I've never been? Innsbruck, hmm. Can I get a free flight from Vienna? Yes! Can I get a free hotel room? Yes. Check! The city is picture perfect though. Nestled in a valley between two mountain ranges, it's green, colorful, and everything you could want a place to be when the purpose is total work decompression. No major sightseeing, no expectations. You, a city and a view. It's walkable and small. You've got to look up, left and right, ...
You will be hard-pressed to find anyone who admits they like ABBA. I won't.
