Las Vegs Baby!!!
I went to Las Vegas with my fellow interns. We took DH from Washington's Dulles to Las Vegas McCarrin. Pretty good flight, especially as I got a row to myself. Prior to depature I helped an Asian gentlemen get a tag for his stroller. He was happy. Anyway, we pushed back on-time at 7:40 PM and noticed the Virgin flight (7:15 PM depature) to Heathrow was still there. Take-off, climb and put the iPod headset and break out the "East Coast Australia Lonely Planet" guide to plan my upcoming trip.
Me onboard (seats 2ABC on the Airbus 319)
'Meal Service'
A DigiPlayer (not in use on Independence Air anymore)
Me, Michael, and Ryan (the interns)
Crazy Me!
So we got to Las Vegas safely. A fellow intern rented a car and drove us to the strip. We walked up to the Luxor and then started back. The streets were pretty busy as the U2 concert just let on. Played a slot at each casino at an overall loss. Not too much happened but neat to see Vegas by night. After the other two interns left to drive to the Grand Canyon for sunrise, Michael and I walk the rest of the strip.
After all that walking we were hungery. We met up with Pete who was in town for the First V-Flyer Conference. I must say it is cool to meet someone in person after meeting them in a forum. Anyway the champagne buffet at the Wynn is well worth the money as there is simply everything on it and everything is top notch.
After a great breakfast, Pete gave us a ride to airport. Very kind of him. Michael and I were off to Washington Dulles. The fight deck let the cabin know when we were over Lake Mead and the Grand Canyon.
Yet again, A great time in Vegas!

Hi Ben. Good to see you blogging. You might want to look at your photo posting prefs though, as the current URL of your pics is localhost:
Catch ya later.
Pete.
Good to see the piccies are now working, Ben.
BTW, in "Crazy Me", is that 'look' through lack of sleep, or had you been accepting one too many sherbets from the cocktail waitresses? ;-)
Thanks Pete. Vegas is blast :)
Ben
