Wednesday October 21, 2015 Las Vegas, NV

Our meeting time for disembarkation was 5:30.  We were up at 4:30.  We went to the dining room designated as out meeting place.  They didn't have any coffee out.  We went ashore to the bus at 5:30 and were at the airport by 6:30.  We were told that we could check in for our flight 2 hours before departure time.  Inside at the United ticket counter we were almost last in line.  Most of the people from our bus were there.

There was one agent working.  She had two women at the desk and was on and off the phone.  This went on for over an hour before security escorted the two away.  Time for our 8:25 flight was getting close before we were checked in.  Once the wheelchairs arrived we were whisked through security and directly on to the airplane.  This airplane was a United Express flight with a row of window seats one one side and an aisle and window seat on the other.  It was a 2 1/2 hour flight to Chicago.  We got our coffee on this flight.

The wheelchairs met us in Chicago and whisked us what seemed to be 3 miles including 3 sets of elevators to our connecting flight.  We passed all the food courts and were taken directly on the airplane for our flight to Las Vegas.  We didn't have anytime for shopping or getting anything to eat.  We had seats together on this flight.  The airplane was a 737 but had more legroom than any we had ever flown on.  They only serve sandwiches and snack boxes, for a price of course,  Finally we had something to eat.  It was a rough flight, the fasten seatbelts sign never went off.

We arrived in Las Vegas at 2:30.  There had been wheelchairs to meet us but people that got off the airplane before us commandeered them.  After some delay we had our chairs, claimed our baggage and met Montyne at the passenger pickup area.

Once we got unloaded at our house, Gerri took Neva to the ER at Centennial Hospital.  Her doctor had ordered the visit.  The wound was examined and clean and redressed and recommendations for a podiatrist were issued.


















Except for Neva's injury and my having to use a walker for safety, this was a good cruise.  We saw new places met an old friend, made new friends and saw some great fall colors.  I was a little disappointed in not having found caches in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island and Quebec.  Prince Edward Island was not my fault and I made a mistake and the caches I downloaded for Quebec were over 3000 miles away.  I never had a cellular data connection to do a local inquiry. We plan to be part of a RV caravan to the Canadian Maritime Provinces next year.  The caravan ends in Quebec, I may do better then.  Gerri checked and we only need 3 more days at sea to move up in the Princess loyalty award to Elite.  That will mean free laundry and some other embarking and disembarking privileges.  Based on that we may do a short cruise out of Los Angeles in mid-November.
