Florida to Las Vegas

Today we said goodbye to Orlando and headed for the airport for our flights to Houston  and then onto Vegas.

It took us 2 1/2 hours from Orlando to Houston flying Continental Airlines - they gave us lunch and we had free access to the latest movies and sit coms while we were flying, which helped pass the time - we had to set our clock backwards

 

We had 90 minute stop over so went and had a quick bite to eat and then back on the plane - this time for 3 hrs to Las Vegas.  W.e flew over the Grand Canyon and it is such an amazing sight - you look down and see the Colorado river flowing thru the canyon and it simply looks awesome, and seeing the Hoover dam from the plane is pretty spectactular

When we finally got off and came into the main terminal building you will never guess what greated us !!!!!!!!

All these slot machines all neatly in rows just as you walked off the plane - then we had to go and take a shuttle to the baggage pickup and there were more slot machines all neatly lined up as you waited for your luggage to come.   Only in Vegas could you see anything like that.

We got a shuttle to our hotel and we were really pleased when we checked in and they told us that we were on the 35th floor looking out over Vegas.  The hotel is really nice - its the Grande Chateau Marriott and has everything that we need - it even has a roof top pool & spa & bar and the view from the top is fantastic.  Hopefully tomorrow night I will take the camera up there and do some shots to show you all how pretty it is.

Well I am going to go to bed now as I have put my clock back so many times today - the clock is telling me one time but my body is telling me another, goodnite
