Mike had to go to Vegas to check out some stuff for work... so we thought we would just hop on a plane after work on FRIDAY and spend the night in Vegas. Just a little mini trip for us.... BUT since we fly standby and it was FRIDAY... our few possible seats from Phoenix to Vegas turned into NO seats to Vegas! BUT... we always have plan B... The flights to LA were open and the flight from LA to Phienix had plenty of seats too and we would still get to Vegas relatively early...
So off to LA we went... we got there and went to the gate to check on for the Vegas flight... they said you will have to wait the plane is pretty full... WHAT?!?!?! there are suppose to be plenty of seats!... and we noticed more and MORE people wanting to get on that flight... but that's OK cuz we have plan C and there is another flight after this one and it has plenty of seats open.... THEN we find out is has plenty of seats open cuz it is delayed and all the people scheduled for that flight are filling up this one.... no problem... we will be a little delayed... so we go to the next gate to get on the delayed flight and find it it won't even land in LA till 11:00 pm!!!! Hmmmm we have been up since 4:00 AM... then get on a flight after 11 to get to Vegas after midnight and try to rent a car etc... OK... Plan D... we will spend the night in LA!
The next morning we get on a flight to Vegas... I had NO idea we had to fly over the ocean to get to Vegas... What's up with that?!?
So we drive down the strip just to say we saw the strip and casinos etc...
The architecture is amazing! Why is all this talent put on Casinos?
And the buildings were all so TALL! Any way we drive and drive and DRIVE checking out all the stuff we needed to... so we decide to get an early flight home. BUT... no that flight is full and there is probably no chance we will get on the next one but maybe the last one blah blah blah... we thought OH NO!!! we are tired we just want to go home! But we were lucky this time and got almost the last two seats on the second flight we wanted. I really had jet lag after that LONG short trip.
But... I cannot blog about this trip without mentioning our WONDERFUL trabvel agent Jaron. Kristin was working and we were panicking so Jaron got us through everything and even booked our hotel room in LA and rented our car in Vegas and told us where to get all the shuttles and everything!!! Jaron was our Hero!! I bet he can't wait til we go on another trip!!

You flew over the ocean because you're in LA!! The ocean borders it. Duh!
Vegas is EAST of LA and the ocean is WEST of LA... so we should have NEVER gone over the ocean... but it is OK cuz I paid attention to the flight attendant and I knew EXACTLY where the yellow life vest was!!
