Waiting for my flight

[susandennis]

I booked the return flights I did because the ones later in the day were not non-stop for either of us.  My brother's flight was at 8:30. We are both of the get there earlier than later ilk so we left the hotel at 6 am.  The doorman, the cab driver and the guy who checked my brother's bags all told us that we made it about 30 minutes ahead of the pandemonium that is promised today as CES begins the last day.

We had a lovely breakfast at the airport and then he went on to his flight.  Mine is not until 9:30 so I've been here watching the crowd grow.  We will both be home with some hours left in the day.  Nice.

We had a magnificent dinner last night - this was our appetizer.



It's been a great and wonderful trip. Just the right amount of everything. I am tired, my clothes are dirty, my feet hurt - even though I did precious little walking - I miss Zoey and I'm ready to be home.

I have often found that travel either solidifies my desire to move on to a different life or be far more satisfied in the one one I have.  This time - as it has in recent years - it's the latter. I enjoyed the break but I want to get back to the real me.

And, I am ready to get back in the pool.  Tomorrow.  8:30 am

That appetizer looks amazing!

My niece just posted a picture on Facebook. Apparently she was at CES as a vendor at the Samsung curved tv booth.

Oh! I'll bet your niece was busy!! The Samsung curved TV booth was huge and packed every day. I hope she gets a chance to sit down soon.

I am glad you had such a good time, and shared it with us.

I think the anticipation and planning is one of the best parts of traveling at this point in my life. Since we traveled so much for years, it doesn't hold a lot of excitement for me now.

I think the CES sounds like a perfect trip. Something of interest every day, and living in luxury. Doesn't get much better than that.

Oh, look at all the lovely products of the oceans of Las Vegas!

I know! The amount of seafood on every menu was astounding. None of it, however, bragged about being local.
