Everything delayed today and missed the connection to LA so now we’re stuck in Houston TX.
The airport staff and TSA are surprisingly pleasant. The Chinese food for late late dinner was massive. WeRead more

Las Vegas itself seems to exist in a wholeRead more
Walking the Strip
February 23, 2020 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
Well not quite. The strip is too long and has too many distractions along the way. So much too see and not enough working escalators on the traffic bridges.

Explored a suburb too just to see how Hawaiians actually live.

Guggenhiem
