5am … that sure comes early but it’s easy to get up when you’re on vacation. The hotel had a free continental breakfast which after I got dropped off at the Buffalo Airport around 6:30am.
Since I was travelling with just my carry-on luggage, check-in was a breeze and I had about 1-1/2 hours before my flight. SouthWest Airlines does this thing where they don’t assign seats. Your boarding pass has either an A, B or C and they board the plane in according to those letters. Once you get on the plane, you pick your own seat. The flight to Baltimore was quick and I was able to have an entire row to myself.
Once landing at the Baltimore Aiport, I was able to grab a quick bite to eat and then got in the “B” line. Unfortunately, the flight to Las Vegas was full so I wasn’t able to stretch out.
I landed in Las Vegas at 1pm local time and Darren & Allison picked me up at the airport. We headed over to Lake Mead National Recreational Area where we spent a relaxing couple of hours floating in the lake. We even saw some wildlife – blue heron and wild donkeys.
We got back home and then ended up having dinner at Ruby Tuesday. I finally got to bed at midnight local time which made it 3am back home. No wonder I was so tired.
