First View of Grand Canyon and Lights of Las Vegas

First View of the Grand Canyon

Richard and I had two uneventful flights to Las Vegas. We stopped in Cleveland for 45 minutes then went onto Las Vegas. Our first flight was in a small plane, only 3 seats across and 20 rows. Amazingly, we had quite a bit of legroom!! The second leg was on a much larger plane...with a movie.

This was Richard's and my first view of the Grand Canyon out the window of our United Airbus. We almost missed it because both of us were napping!! I don't know what made me open the shutter and look out...but so incredibly glad I did. Words cannot describe the view we witnessed, and we could see for miles!

I took a few photos with my camera and a couple of others may be clearer...but this was the first one so that is the one we are putting in the blog. When we leave it will be nighttime, we won't be seeing this out our window. But today we did.

Welcome to Las Vegas

We took our first walk up the Las Vegas strip...hot, crowded, action on every corner and in every casino! I won $5 in the airport and lost $5 in the hotel...so, day one, I'm even!! 

Well, off to the pool. We'll write another post when we are in for the night. We still have a lot of Las Vegas to see before that!

Note: Richard says 'Hi' and is anxious to get to the pool!
