Las Vegas, Nevada

When I say Las Vegas, what comes to mind … gambling, shows, The Strip.  Does moving boxes come to mind?  Darren & Allison asked if we would like to come and help them move into their new house.  We thought about it and then said sure.  Once we decided that we would be going, we did some snooping to see how much it would cost to fly from the Region of Waterloo International Airport aka Breslau (YKF).  It ended up being about $150/person extra but we thought why not try it.

Thanks for everything, Darren & Allison .. we love you guys.

Our flight was at 12:10pm.  We figured that we didn’t have to be there until 11:00am.  Nana was able to drop us off.  The trip to the airport took all of 15 minutes.  This airport is really small.  You can actually park your car in front of the terminal.  It took us 2 minutes to check in.  The security screening took much longer … about 5 minutes.

We were able to see the flight from Detroit (DTW) land in Breslau.  The planes are really small.  They are prop planes that hold about 34 people.  They announced that our flight was ready to board.  The weird thing was that you actually had to walk on the tarmack and climb the stairs up into the plane.  The plane had 1 seat on the left side, 2 seats on the right side and 11 rows in total.  We took off and were able to see a bit of the scenery from above, including farms right next to the airport.  The flight to Detroit was 45 minutes.  Our flight to Las Vegas wasn’t leaving for a couple of hours so we were able to grab some lunch.

We landed in Las Vegas at 5:10pm.  We got our bags and headed outside to catch the shuttle bus to Hertz.  We picked up our car and made our way over to the Orleans Hotel & Casino to grab some dinner at the French Market Buffett.  We headed over to the Stratosphere Hotel & Casino to meet up with Darren.  We were very happy to see him.  We hadn’t been to Las Vegas since last August, which seemed like eternity.  Darren was able to get us into the 8:30pm show.  Thanks man! Charlie Daniels is out, Tim McGraw is in and he’s hot.  Darren was right … Tim (aka Chad) is hot!  After the show, we went back to the house where Allison was doing some final packing before the big move.  They also were kind enough to get us a cake from the best bakery on earth … Freed’s Bakery.  (Don’t forget … D & K Movers Inc will MOVE FOR CAKE!)  We helped out and decided that we should get to bed early, since the movers would be arriving at 7:30am.
