I arrived at Portland International Airport a couple hours before my flight. After going through security I purchased a cinnamon coffee cake and early grey tea from Starbucks, Concourse C about 7:45am. I sat at a table near the windows watching the airport.
I caught the 9:25am Alaska
Airlines Flight from Portland, OR (PDX) to Las Vegas (LAS) arriving about
11:30am. We flew over Red Rock Canyon just before landing in Las Vegas
McCarran International Airport. I caught the shuttle to Harrah's.
It took me longer to get from the airport to my room than the flight from
Portland to Las Vegas!
I purchased a sliced ham and
provolone cheese on a pesto cheese focaccia and shortbread cookies from
Starbucks in Harrah's lobby for a late lunch in my room. I got the last
room (1858) on the 18th floor in the Carnival Tower. Great view of the
mountains and the airport and a very quiet location.
Road Scholar check in was at
4:00pm, Orientation at 5:00pm (it would have been great to have quick
introductions by each person - name, occupation and number of Elderhostels/Road
Scholar programs attended) and Dinner Buffet at the hotel at 6:00pm.
Afterwards I watched the finale of "Amazing Race" in my hotel
room.
