McC....... and heading home

We're sitting in McCarran airport, waiting on the bl / wh jet to take us home.

We left money all over Vegas

gave up on the shuttle - I won't cuss them out here b/c they don't care. Got a taxi to McC

Now, usually, security is a bottleneck. No, it was the ' Speed ' check in machines at McC  for WestJet ( No. thats the name of the machine service ' Speed ' , ha, be wary of the single HA ). 
The curb-side  machine broke down for the couple ahead of us. We went inside - please use the automated check in machine - nope twice. Attendant comes over - just use your passport for ID.

OK 2 boarding passes - 1 luggage label, then out of paper. Go to baggage drop off - my board froze, folks. Attendant, 2 over, prints the luggage tag.

Security, very fast

We bought a throw- away cell phone. This tracfone is an LG. you're supposed to get same charge for  local, national and international w/ surcharges for certain countries.
We set up the phone w/ a 60 minute card and 90 day expiry. Read the destructions after - why not - to discover all minutes double for any Tracfone minutes card. The cheapie card was 30 min and 30 day expiry.
For 1 year cards at $99 , you get 600 min and the yr to use the min.s. Our Trac fone ( $ 19 ) is down to 108 min from 130 m 

Tracfone charges even on the help line.
Long distance calls sound like the other person is underwater
long distance requires a call to a 1-800 # and then dial

For the set-up - everything is computer voice over the land line phone. I had to choose a zip code. I gave them the zip for St Pte Bch.
And got assigned a 727 area code which is St Pte Bch. Neat.
Except it sounds as though the charges would be the same for any area code in the U.S.
Oh ,well, at least anyone calling our phone in St Pte can call a local # and no long distance

This past week, LV, has been 10 degrees above seasonal and will stay there next week after a little drop for 2 days.

Apparently,we don't ' slot '  enough to get anything compted. Oh, well we take the 2 free days.

I wanted to write advice for you. but since I don't even listen to me . Why should you.

OK. Talking to the ether. When your up - walk away. This morning, went to fire the cubes around. Fun. I was up $60 or so and said lets make it a 100. Nooooo, got down to $ 50 and left 80 dollars late and lite.
Salmon and bagel is a dynamite breakfast. they served it along with capers and tomatoes w/ onion slices
RU still listening
Pina coladas are dessert and have no calories b/c they're white and foamy.
