The magnificent flight over the ice
Flying over the frozen north America was fantastic & a once in a life time viewing for me ! We eventually settled into the Hotel & the next blog will feature lots of photos taken on the Strip (as we locals like to call it !) We have walked for MILES because the next place looks more interesting & before we knew it we were miles away from our hotel !! Aching feet yes BUT well worth the pain
First day of train/aeroplane and going thru USA customs
17 january 1st day of travelling to Las Vegas We took the gatwick express early and caught our las vegas flight.There is plenty of room on the Virgin flight Food is 1st class Video is a wee bit scrappy compared to Emirates.The actual flight took a funny route flying to the top of Scotland then across the Atlantic and across the Hudson Bay.The HB scenery is magnificent and in full flow winter mode The Ice seemed to go on for ever and is spectacular to look down approx 7 miles below us.Passengers all seem to be a friendly bunch. Airport staff at Gatwick were incredibly nice. Customs at Las Vegas was great the lady who “did” us was brilliant .There were around 10 officers on customs duty in USA BUT one of them, a male, wore a face mask & rubber gloves !!He was probably scared of passing something onto us !! So far the day has been a good adventurous one .We ended the day going to bed around 8pm local time but managed 12 hours sleep in our 2 balconied Kingsized bed in our 2 roomed Hotel ! Its looking good for the next 2 weeks !!! Too many pics for 1st day Stay tuned for Las Vegas pics net time
