Travel Nightmares

Here are the stories that come to mind when ever I hear about someone having a bad time while traveling:

Airports can suck sometimes. I remember this one time, I was supposed to have a no stop flight from Phoenix to Oahu and the plane was having mechanical problems and they made us wait on the plane for 45 minutes without any air conditioning. We were using the barf bags as fans, because it was so hot. Then they flew us to Los Angeles and we had a wait for an hour to get on another plane.

I went on a cruise a couple of years ago and one of the stops was in Playa Del Carmen. I booked a bus tour to Cancun and the driver went to park the bus next to a sidewalk and a tree branch went through the windshield and broke it.

Usually when I go on on a cruise or to Florida, it's during hurricane season, so it's always raining or a hurricane is a couple of days away. I went to Cozumel on a cruise and a week later a hurricane hit it and destroyed the ship dock and the shops on the pier. I remember going to Disney's Hollywood Studios, having to get a yellow poncho because it was just pouring. It poured from the moment we got there till we left at the end of the day.

On a flight back from Hawaii to home, they gave my mom's personal wheelchair to another lady who didn't speak English and then when my mom got off the plane, they had to radio their employee to bring it back to the runway.

Las Vegas

 We drove to Vegas and stayed at the Oasis RV Park.  We ate dinner at Dickey's BBQ.

On Tuesday,  we went to the south premium outlets mall.  We went to Circus Circus to buy show tickets.  We went to Town square mall and ate dinner at Popeye's.

On Wednesday,  we parked at the Paris Hotel.  We walked around the Grand Bazaar shops at Bally's. We got some kettle corn at I Love Popcorn.  We walked over to Bellagio, but the gardens were closed.  We walked around the Miracle Mile at Planet Hollywood and ate lunch at Pink's Hot Dogs.  I had the Brooklyn Pastrami with Swiss cheese.  We went and saw the musical, Jersey Boys, at the Paris Hotel.

On Thursday,  we went to the Fashion Show mall.  We parked at the Linq and walked over to the Venetian.  We ate lunch in their food court.  We had a fruit tart from the Paris Baguette.  We walked around the Palazzo.  We ate dinner at Project Pie in the MGM.  We walked around the Forum shops at Caesar's Palace.  

On Friday,  we went to the Silverton hotel to see the Sister Wive's jewelry line.  We went to Kohl's and Target.  We ate lunch at Firehouse Subs.  We went to the Boulevard mall.  We ate dinner at the Claim Jumper.  

On Saturday, we drove home.  

Big Little Lies

I have pretty much read every book by Liane Moriarty, starting with What Alice Forgot.  She is absolutely fantastic author and I highly recommend this book as well.  She has characters who are likeable but complicated.  She tells relateable and interesting tales, with lots of plot twists. 

Big Little Lies is about a group of mothers at the school.  It's about how they handle a bullying incident, what secrets they are keeping from each other, and how they are connected.
