Let’s go to the lake

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.
