A Week in Vegas

Most people go to Vegas to play in the sun or the casinos. I went to work with my new boss, Jen.

I find myself BACK in Clark County.

Like the song says, "you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave."

My Wonderful Boss

This is my "big" boss. She lives in Burbank but this was one of those rare weekend in July where she got to see her husband. (they met in San Fran) When I met her she said, " Hi, I'm Tasia, "glad ta see ya." Great way to remember how to say her name.

Into the Storm

Notice I chose the back of the plane on the return flight. Not the greatest idea unless you like carnival rides that whip you from side to side.

Notice that the pilots "shut" their doors. I think it was so we couldn't see the weather we were flying into. Course I noticed the puffy clouds outside the window and anyone that lives through desert thunderstorms recognizes a storm building.

Sure enough we got to fly into a "squall." Then the carnival ride changed to a roller coaster. I tell ya these puddle jumpers sure give you your money's worth.

Grand Canyon

One advantage to the flight from Page to Phoenix was the "free" ride over the Grand Canyon.

Wow! What a different perspective. It really gives you a sense of how HUGE it really is. Mother Nature is impressive.

Traveling to Page

I would have said on the road again....but it was actually "in the air."

I had to use an unknown airline called "great lakes."

You can see it is not the most popular airline.

I felt like telling them "YOUR KIDDING!" when I saw the tiny plane.

Down this tiny aisle is indeed the pilot and co-pilot. You could watch them setting dials, adjusting levers.

On the ground is Phoenix. On my return flight I will NOT sit over the wing, too unnerving and LOUD.

Bisbee

Jan and I got to go to Bisbee to put on a presentation.
We enjoyed the evening outside on the balcony of the Copper Queen.


Bisbee is a quaint old town.

Thank goodness there were no ghost in the Copper Queen, but there was this neat clawfoot tub.

AVIS

Our Nissan is given me fits so I went to AVIS and rented a car.
It's pretty bad when the rental car guy knows your voice on the phone!
