Thursday morning found the Lake Jackson crew packing for hot and cold and yes…..even Chuck is on holiday…
This little guy sunning it by the pool…
While Chuck added water to overflowing (?) so as to stop the water level dropping too low while we are all away for a week…
Leaving the house around 1pm we headed to Houston Hobby airport for a 4.30 pm flight across country to “Las Vegas” the starting point of our adventure!
Almost three hours in the air, a coffee and a couple of snack bags of crackers, saw us flying over the Grand Canyon mountain range on a blue sky day!
Lake Meade in the distance as we neared Vegas…
Off the plane and straight into the hustle of Vegas(we hadn’t even got our bags yet), it was 8pm Texas time, but we had gained another couple of hours so 6.00pm Nevada time….it was going to be a long day!
Collected bags, caught a shuttle bus to the rental car hub..,about 15 mins from airport…. Et voila….
Come all the way to Vegas, and get to travel around in the clone of my car – first Mitsubishi eclipse cross I have seen in the states and it’s the same colour as mine and all (back in nz)!!! Minus the baby seats!
Chuck and Tona navigated the shortish trip to the Venetian hotel…on the strip where we are staying for two nights!
Spying the Trump Hotel – there you go!
After walking a couple of miles ( just from hotel car park) we found the check in foyer… Wow what a place – the suite I am in is about as big as my house!
By now it was 8.30pm (10.30 pm Texan time) and these Texans were hungry…so we went to food hall alley (still inside hotel) and found a restaurant to eat a light dinner, followed by a quick flutter on the pokies(still in hotel) – Tona and Chuck on the positive side and me kinda watching as I don’t know how these things work- will have another bash today!
Rolled into my luxurious bed around 10pm local time… and up early this morning for our next adventure!!!
All who wander are not Lost girls
