Day Thirteen

I made it to Vegas!!  A little jet lagged still today, but I should be adjusted by tomorrow hopefully.

So, I didn't post a picture yesterday but I tried, I promise!  Little story about the travel to the great out West yesterday:  We flew from Tampa to Phoenix & I sat by the window on the plane (like always).  What a beautiful sight to see the landscape turn from the green of the south to the rocks of the west!  Did I get a picture?  Nope.  Why, you ask?  Well, as we were flying over what I think was Texas I reached in my purse for my camera, was about to flip it on when I realized the door for my SD card slot was open and................................EMPTY.  Yes, empty!!  I had no card to hold pictures.  I wanted to bang my head against the window!  So I took zero pictures on that plane ride.

THEN, we stopped in Phoenix & hopped right on a plane to LasVegas & I said to myself, "Self, you are going to break the rules on this plane ride & take pictures with your phone!" 

And that I did.


This is a picture of a plateau somewhere in Arizona that I thought was pretty impressive. (Stinkin wing was in the way!)  You know when you're flying it takes you a second to focus?  Like, "Is that really a mountain?"  Well, that's what I thought when I saw this.

Then the pilot came over the intercom & said, "Ladies & Gentlemen, in about 5 minutes we'll be flying over the Grand Canyon & you will be able to see it from both sides of the plane."  Yippy!!  Five minutes pass and the pilot comes back on & says, "We got re-routed, so only the right side of the plane will be able to see some of the Grand Canyon."  Hot dog, I was on the right side of the plane!


Can you see it?  It is above the wing.  Here is another one:


Of course, it was much more impressive in person!  Although I wish we could have been closer...but I can't complain!  This next one is just of some pretty mountains.


And here's the Vegas strip when we landed!!


I think I got more than 1 picture for the day :)  I was just making up for no SD card.

BUT, I did get a card this morning at the store so I can get some good pictures!!  YIPPY!!!  Later on today there may be another post since I'm a day behine....but that depends on how work goes today.  And hopefully I can get some good ones looking down the strip at night!

Cheers from Vegas!!
