We checked out and met down in the lobby where people took turns sitting with the bags. We had a bit of food left that we put in a bag to eat at the airport or on the plane. Carrots anyone? Betsy and Roddy tried their luck with $1. Took 4 tries on the quarter slot to lose it. I hadn't seen the pool area so poured some pink lemonade into my water bottle and went to check it out. Wasn't allowed to take my water bottle in to the pool area. Betsy was with us so she took a quick glance and then took my water bottle back to the suitcase area. The pool seemed smaller than the pictures made it look. If you wanted to use one of the shade places, you had to talk to them about price. Really don't know what our $35.00 per day resort fee got us. But that's Las Vegas. Nick and I just went out to see the pool so we could say we had. We lucked out on the weather as it was in the 80's when we were there and this week it is peaking at 118!
All of our luggage and all of us fit comfortably in the limo. I got the longest ride as I was the first one in which made me the last one out.
Luckily we have plenty of time before we are scheduled to board. Myra can't find her driver's license. Well, you can fly without a picture ID. You have to show some other form of ID and it takes longer to go through security. The security person said he generally gets about 20 people a day during his shift that don't have their picture ID. I imagine it is more common at the Vegas airport than at some others. Myra found her driver's license once we got home. It was in a purse that she had packed in her checked bags.
Carrots anyone? I have some carrots.
Nick got a barBQ plate to-go for us to eat on the plane. Sounded like a good idea at the time. But, as we were boarding and about to sit down, someone bumped into Nick and the to-go box went flying. Oh, there is so much red sauce on that chicken and now it is on the seat, on the floor, on our hands. Oh, the cole slaw is all over the floor. The flight attendant has no idea what is going on and just says, "Please take your seats and let people through the aisle." Wait! we have a roll of paper towels in the food bag! Maybe I will always fly with a roll of paper towels in my carry on from now on. The brisket was safe and I brushed off one of the pieces of chicken using the 5 second rule even though it was probably more like 30 seconds. We didn't go without lunch. The rest of the flight was uneventful.
Amy and Ben met us at the airport with 2 cars. Randy was on his way too but got caught in traffic. We met him at Marietta diner and enjoyed sharing stories.
Since we got in late, all 7 of us stayed at our house. Paula, Jorge and Myra left the next morning. Betsy and Roddy took a day to rest up before driving back to Tampa.
Great Trip, Great memories!
Carrots anyone? I think I still have a few left.
