Tuesday, July 19, 2022 – Travel Day to Vegas, LONG Delay

Hiya Sweetie,
Got up at my usual time, had breakfast first, packed up everything, then loaded everybody up and headed over to Jeff’s, since he’ll be looking after the critters while I”m gone for a few days. Got to his place and got everyone settled in, then he left for a service call, and I had a little trouble getting my truck started again. It’s my fuel filter, I’m sure, I think I just need a new bleeder screw, but that’s a problem for another day. Got nice and greasy fixing that, but fortunately I was planning on taking a shower anyway, so I got cleaned up, then headed for the airport. Had an uneventful flight to Charlotte, then a long layover where I met a lady who lives in Tequesta celebrating her 83rd birthday, we had a nice chat and exchanged information, she’s been wanting to do Sunday brunch at the Seminole Inn, said I’d love to go with her. Anyway, after a 2.5 hour layover, we finally got on the plane, taxied out, then got stuck for 90 minutes because of thunderstorms that popped up. Was sorry I didn’t take my original flight plan, those planes were right on time. By the time we landed, retrieved luggage and shuttled to the car rental place, it was past 1:00 my time, 10:00 local time. Then I had to wait 20 minutes for a car to get cleaned up, so it was almost 2:30 my time by the time I got to the hotel room. Had to change rooms because the first one smelled like cigarette smoke. Note to self, always get a room on the 4th floor at the Hilton Garden Inn, they’re bigger and cleaner that lower floors. Still took me a long time to get to sleep, finally managed it. Long, exhausting day, and I ate way too much so I felt stuffed! Writing this the day after, too tired last night! Love you, darlin’!
