This topic is about someone who is preparing for their first road trip to Las Vegas after having a colostomy for 15 months. They are excited to step out of their comfort zone and spend three days in Las Vegas with their partner. The trip is a mix of gambling, shows, and a family reunion, as they will meet a sister flying in from Maui and a brother who lives in Vegas. It's a special occasion since the three siblings haven't been together in almost seven years.

Here are some helpful tips and insights for the trip:

1. Start with a car trip rather than a flight. This allows you to control stops and timing, making it an easier first step into traveling.

2. Take small, progressive trips to build your confidence before attempting longer or more complex travel.

3. Stay well-hydrated, especially in the desert climate of Las Vegas.

4. Maintain a positive attitude. Many people find that their courage grows with each outing.
