Notes from the Road

One of my favorite things about this job is getting to walk onto the tarmac of airports all over the country and look at planes. I like taking interesting pictures of them. The attached photo is of a small private jet at Lunken Air Field in Cinci. Another photo is of sunset at Las Vegas International Airport.

On that note, I am in Vegas this week. We started our stay here by overnighting at the Luxor (the big pyramid on the strip), which was an absolute dump. Nappy carpet, decades-old bedding, no wireless internet, reeked of smoke, etc. Disgusting.

We switched to a Hampton Inn in nearby Henderson and I have been very pleased. The carpet feels new (no squishy liquid underfoot), the bedding is *white*, clean, and high quality. And the room doesn't smell like the Las Vegas girl scout troop held their most recent weenie roast in it.
