Yes, you read that correctly. 2:18 AM was the SCHEDULED arrival time. When you think about it, the fact that there is a Vegas-SLC flight is a bit of an enigma...from Sin City to the Mormon capital of the world!


The flight to Vegas was quite turbulent. As a general rule of thumb, if there are storms on the ground, it's going to be bumpy in the air. In other words, with the midwest snow storm, it was quite a flight! I've learned to be less nervous during turbulence, but it's still hard for me to trust in God's control when I'm up in the air. The investment in Dell Math Problems & Logic Puzzles is priceless during those times...it really helps to distract me.


Flight arrived a couple of minutes early to Vegas. SLC isn't the only late flight out...there were flights to L.A., Phoenix, and Seattle as well, plus a smattering of red-eyes back to the east coast. And how do you know you're in Vegas? When you see something like this at the airport:




Yup...slots in the airport.



Anyway, flight to SLC was a couple of minutes early as well, and also fairly turbulent. At least I got upgraded to first class on both flights. Of course, by the time I got to the hotel, it was 3 AM Mountain time, or 5 AM Boston. Just a bit tired :-). Unfortunately, I didn't get to church this morning.



Now time to explore SLC!
