It was too expensive and we have a new duffel bag that works perfectly.
So we're going to the airport with 2 suitcases, 1 duffel for check-in. We each have a carry on (computer and tote). also for you photographers, I pack my camera bag in my suitcase just to avoid the extra security.
11:00 am - calling bell service to pick up bags. He comes to pick up bags. Didn't forget this time to tip $1 per bag. We're parked in self park garage. They asked me to pull up to valet.
11:50 pm - had to go to the front desk to check out. We were given $100 incomped food and they had to take care of it there. Long line at check out. In room and express check out is the way to go.
12:20 pm - arrive at Fed Ex to overnight Halloween ticket to ebay winner.
12:50 pm - arrive at Las vegas economy parking. Found a good spot and I'm only paying $6 per day. Beware but the parking shuttle will not drop you off at the departure level unless you are disabled.
12:55 pm - Since we are disabled, we got dropped off. Very small line we were 2nd to check in.
1:00 pm - enter security. Long lines at security, but not super long. Fortunately wheelchairs have their own line. I was worried a little. I had to take off my belt and shoes, remove my computer, remove my celphone, keys, wallet and change. On top of that I had to manage Laurie's stuff too. Fortunately, in the wheelchair line they only let 1 party through at a time. This gave me ample time to pull everything together without getting anything stolen.
1:15 pm - arrive at our gate to Salt Lake City. By the way it's really dry and I got a nasty shock on the monorail hand post. It still hurt. At the gate we have to have preboarding instruction and then get our wheelchair checked in.
1:45 pm - get on plane. We're the first ones on. I start listening to podcasts.
2:15 pm - ready to take off. Plane has problems with auxilliary power. No air conditioning. I'm dying. Problem can't be fixed. But it's not essential. We take off 10 minutes late.
4:45 pm - we land about 10 minutes late and we rush to our connecting flight to Orlando.
5:00 pm - we quickly get to the other end of the terminal to check in. We are actually very late. We check in and ask to go to the bathroom before the flight. We are now the very last people to enter the plane. Yikes.
7:00 pm - I don't know where I am. But I'm watching The Devil Wears Prada. I want to kill myself. But my iPod is down to 25 percent and I'm bored...and desparate.
11:00 pm - the captain just notified us that we'll be landing in 25 minutes. Thank God. Here's what I did to kill the boredom:
- watched that silly movie.
- watched Desparate Housewives on my iPod. Now my iPod is down to 1/4 power.
- wrote two blogs about the Nightmare Before Christmas and Professional Wrestling
- small sections of a flash book.
God get me off this plane.
11:30 pm - we land. Now it baggage, rental car, room
12:00 am - we're on our way out to the resort. Itls very late and we check in. Once we enter the room we laugh. What a dump. The addage is true you get what you pay for. It's so small.
12:30 am - hunger. We drive to some fast food and its all closed. Fortunately there's Walmart. Food and McDonalds and now to sleep.
