I am writing my post today via my flight to Las Vegas. We are on our second flight out of Cleveland and this is one cramped plane. So far, we have been in two different airports and I haven’t encountered one jeweled track suit! Actually, people don’t look too bad. Since it is a week day there are more business people travelling, but even the casual vacationer is looking comfortable and cool. The airport food still stinks. We had one hour in Cleveland to grab something to nibble on and maybe take on our flight with us and the options were not at all healthy. We opted to share a lite beer and some artichoke dip with pita pieces to snack on while reading the menu for something to take on the plane with us but we opted out. On the plane we settled for the healthiest choice of snacks, meaning fruit, cheese and crackers. No whole wheat to be found anywhere! I am reminded of my words of advice I have given others: One bad meal won’t kill you. Just make the next one better. We have about and hour left and while I am usually enjoying a cup of coffee and some dark chocolate around this time, it looks like I will have a vacation from that as well.

We just flew over snow covered mountains striated with ski trails. Soon we will be flying over the Grand Canyon. This truly is an amazing country with so many resources to offer. We will be landing in Sin City soon with three extra hours of sunlight and many more hours of neon lights. I’m counting on our luggage arriving with us but just in case, I have that swimsuit in my carry on!
