2025 #54: Short Greetings before we catch our flight to ✈️ (for the 4th time)

Backstreet’s Back (Again): Our Last-Minute Vegas Adventure ✈️

Yes, I know. It’s our fourth trip to Las Vegas this year. Fourth! When my husband and I sat down and counted all the miles we’ve clocked in 2025—together and individually—we couldn’t help but laugh in disbelief. This has truly been a year of movement, milestones, and memories.

This particular trip? Completely spontaneous. A last-minute decision sparked by a pair of Backstreet Boys concert tickets my sister-inlaw stumbled upon. We weren’t planning another getaway, but something about the idea of seeing them live again—this time with a twist—felt too good to pass up.

And the twist? We’re bringing RV.

Yep, we’re turning this concert night into a full-on experience with one of my closest friends to share this moment. This will be his first time seeing the Backstreet Boys live, and I’m hoping he’ll be fully immersed in the energy, the nostalgia, and the sheer joy of it all. There’s something magical about watching a band that defined a generation still light up a stage—and I can’t wait to see that magic through his eyes.

And yes, this will be our final trip of the year. We’re closing out 2025 with one last hurrah, one more shared adventure before we settle into the slower rhythms of the season.

To everyone who’s followed along with our travel stories this year—thank you. Writing this series has given me something to look forward to, a way to reflect and connect, and a space to share the joy (and chaos) of it all. I’ll see you in the new year with more stories, more miles, and more memories.

Until then, keep dancing like it’s 1999.
