Where’s Our Gate

The first thing we did after arriving at JFK was to check the board to seethe status of our flight. We got our gate number and, so far, our flight is on time.
In Our Seats

Being that I use a cane now, we were allowed to be among the first passengers to board the plane. I liked that we had no problem struggling to secure space in the overhead bins for our bags. TheRead more
Trip Routing

I like when the entertainment screen has an option to see the flight’s progress. This one doesn’t look as informative or as polished as the one I saw on Singapore Airlines but it’s still betterRead more
An Early Start

It’s just about 4:30 in the morning and we’re in our taxi on the way to Kennedy Airport for a trip to Las Vegas. We’re using Lyft this time since their price was less expensive than Uber.
Feeling Sleepy

Kathy and I are sitting across the aisle from each other. I like this arrangement since it allows each of us to have an aisle seat yet we’re still seated together. I still kind of miss a window seatRead more
Almost There

For whatever reason, this has felt like a quick flight and I’m not very tired despite not getting much sleep. This photo was taken in panoramic mode shooting vertically rather than the moreRead more
We’ve Landed!

We’ve arrived and are moving through the airport. Las Vegas is the only place I’ve ever seen that has slot machines in their airport. Are people really so desperate to gamble that they can’tRead more
In A Hurry

These same slot machines are surrounded by glass walls so that people can go inside and smoke. I can’t imagine smoking being allowed anywhere at an airport but they obviously do things differentlyRead more
Harry Reid International Airport

Despite having that smoking section, the airport in Las Vegas is actually very nice. It’s very open and spacious but maybe a bit empty. I think some more artwork or displays would go a long way here.
More Slots

There’s slot machines all over this airport, not just in that smoking section. They kind of make the place look very crowded and chaotic. I guess there’s no room for art displays after all.
Welcome to Las Vegas

We’re ready to leave the airport, get an Uber, and go to our hotel and settle in. We’re so tired and hungry but we’re ready to have fun!
At the Paris

We didn’t have to wait long for an Uber to take us to our hotel, the Paris Las Vegas. Unfortunately, it was still several hours before check in time so we left our bags with the bell captain andRead more
Time For Breakfast

Being that we were both very hungry, we agreed that having breakfast would be our first priority. We decided to eat at Hash House A Go Go, at the Linq Hotel and casino. It was a long walk to get thereRead more
A Great Meal

We’ve eaten at the Hash House A GoGo before and while the food is very good, it’s not quite as good as we remembered it. I think this happens a lot over time. When we experience something, andRead more
The Casino

Having finished our breakfast, we wandered back into the Linq casino and take a look around. I got myself a chip from the Linq, to add to my growing casino chip collection, but we didn’t do anyRead more
Where to Next?

Feeling well fed, we’re now considering what to see next. We’d like to do something indoors since it’s so hot outside. It’s 102 degrees out there!
Pizza Machine

I know that lots of different things can be sold in vending machines but I never thought I’d see a vending machine selling pizza! I’m curious to try this but I’m feeling so full right now.Read more
