Christina and I have arrived in Vegas for a 4-day vacation. Yesterday started out rough as we had to get up to at 5am to make our Jetblue flight. This was my first Jetblue flight and I would recommend everyone try and fly them if given the opportunity. Other than being routed through Long Beach for some reason, the inflight DirecTV, XM, and extra space are definitely selling points that Jetblue should focus on as much as they can. That said, why they send you through Long Beach, I have no idea. Two trailers and a vending machine do not make an airport. Several hour layovers there are not fun. On the way from Long Beach to Las Vegas, we were accompanied by a wooden-legged chatterbox. The guy talked non-stop from airport to airport. Thankfully we were on the opposite side of the aisle.

Once we arrived in Vegas, we did a quick once around parts of the strip to check out what had changed. Despite the economy, Vegas continues to expand the excess that it is so well known for. Afterwards we returned to the timeshare where I promptly managed to dump Christina’s sunglasses into the pool. Whoops!

Update: Finally got around to linking to this photo:
