Woke up to the alarm early to finish packing, get breakfast and get headed out. Hubby fed the horses, while showing my brother all the proper quantities and techniques of feeding, during which Clio inexplicably threw her head back, spilling most of her food on the ground, and knocking off Hubby’s hat and glasses. He wasn’t hurt, but halfway to the Fort Lauderdale airport, he discovered he was missing a hearing aid, so now he’s deaf in one ear. I called my brother and asked him to look for it, but didn’t hear back before we got on the plane. I was sure I had built in a lot of extra time, but the time it took to park and get the shuttle was longer than I expected, and the time it took to haul a very heavy bag full of books (both books, as our client wanted some, and I intend to keep on fulfilling orders while we’re out here), and then security seemed slower than usual, and by the time we got to the gate they had already boarded our group and were about to board the next group. I didn’t even have time to fill up my water bottle or grab us something to eat! Hubby thought they’d sell meals on the plane, but all they had was free snacks, so we had our fill of cheese crackers, pretzels and cookies before the flight was done. Arrived in Las Vegas 20 minutes early, went through all the process of getting our baggage, our rental car (trying out a Nissan this time, first time I’ve driven one of those), got checked into the hotel, which they kindly upgraded to a full suite including jacuzzi tub, thank you!), then took a quick trip to the store, the post office, and finally, a little hole in the wall Thai restaurant where we got some delicious food, though the atmosphere isn’t any kind of atmosphere, more of a delivery and take out kind of place, but we were so hungry, we didn’t care! Got back to the hotel, had a nightcap, heading off the bed by 8:00!
