Flight to Las Vegas
We flew to LAS fom OAK today. TSA was, for once, efficient. And I have to say that the Soutwest terminal at Oakland is pretty nice. As I mentioned, TSA is efficiently organized (even if most of what they do is "security theatre", to borrow a term), and they actually have an abundance of electrical outlets! How many times have you been in an airport where you find people with laptops huddled near columns because of the dearth of outlets? My answer to this would be: MANY. Next big thumbs up: free wifi. No ridiculuous day passes or memberships that are only good at one or two airports -- free. The final thumbs up: wall USB ports to recharge your phones/ipods etc! Excellent.
Once arrived in Las Vegas, we took the annoying shuttle to the strip, where we were staying in.... Paris Las Vegas! The elevators were piping in some familiar sounding music, and it took chloe and I a little while to figure out that it was one of the excellent Putumayo French CDs that we used to play for Zoe quite often.
We had dinner in the hotel, which was excellent, and met up with Stephanie. Jon and Christa would arrive later in the evening.
