Vegas, Slow start, great finish

Well, the trip started in a bad note. First my heart attack. For work I fly out of CVG (Cincinnati airport) for personal, I often fly out of airport from near by cities. Most of the time you can save $300 or more by not flying out of CVG. Historically IND has been the cheapest for me so that’s what I’m use to. The problem with IND is that it’s in a different time zone. The day before on Thr I figured what time I had to leave work in order to get to the airport on time. Friday morning for some reason I thought “OH NO, TIME ZONE” I’m 30 mins late!!” By the time my heart attack finished I already had my coat on and was down 4 flights of stairs when it dawned to me. Hey, you gain an hour not lose an hour. As I was turning to go back up to my desk the second thought hit me. I’m flying out of DAY, not IND. (Which is not in a different time zone) So from there everything went better. I got checked in, got on my flight and got to Dallas, no problem! Getting out of Dallas was a bit harder. Got on the plane, even got up in the air, but during take off one of the engine lights came on so they had to turn it off. So we turned around and landed again. 2 hours later I were up in the air again but this time made it to Vegas! Vegas was a lot of fun. Saw the sights, did some gambling, did some clubbing, ran in to some very interesting people, and lots of walking. It was a great weekend getaway! The trip home was completely un-eventful, except for having to wake up at 4am to catch the flight.
