After the trip to Red Rock Canyon, we came back and ate some breakfast/lunch at the Grand Lux Café at The Palazzo. Then we decided to hit up the pool at The Venetian. It was a nice pool, very stylish, but also small. There were a couple of side pools but overall it was a bit underwhelming.

Red Rock Canyon Scooter Tour
Early the next day, we were on our way to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area to take an adventure with Red Rock Scooter Tours. I didn’t know what to expect at first, but it came recommended to us by my sister and boyfriend who took the tour a few weeks before. But after taking the tour, I highly recommend it – it was one of the best things we did in Las Vegas. It was an amazing few hours to enjoy the nature that the desert can provide.

Last week we were back in Las Vegas to celebrate our one year anniversary! This time we stayed at The Venetian for two nights before heading over to Caesar’s Palace for the last night. This was our first time staying at The Venetian and it was a beautiful hotel.

This past week I took my first flights of 2019. The first two were non eventful and I took an Airbus A319 and a Boeing 737-800 on American Airlines back and forth to DFW. However, my next set of flights were much better! I got to finally set foot on an Airbus A330-200 and in first class to boot from an upgrade. First time I got to enjoy the lie-flat seats.
Here she is in all her beauty, American Airlines Airbus A330-200 N289AY.
Of course, I had to document my seat experience!
It is going to be hard to go back to economy after this.
The flights back were not as great. The winter weather is in full force and I got stuck in Chicago for a bit. I landed early and decided to take a standby flight back home so that I could get in at a reasonable hour at the cost of my confirmed upgrade on a later flight. Well, my luck had run out as that flight got delayed three hours and we arrived just a few minutes before my originally scheduled flight. At least I know better for next time and to avoid Chicago at all costs during the winter!
Second Trip to San Francisco
My traveling has dropped off a bit the last couple of months and I have done a bad job at documenting everything, but I did capture some pictures for my second trip to San Francisco in as many months. I didn’t manage to capture any pictures of the American Airlines CRJ 700 that I took from CMH to ORD since the jet way layout at CMH is not conducive to grabbing pictures especially at gates B22 – B24. But I did manage to get a nice picture of the American Airlines Boeing 737-800 N847NN at ORD which would take us to SFO.
August Flights
August was a light flying month for me and I only had six flights. I didn’t get on any notable planes, but I did see a couple of cool ones at DFW on my last leg.
First up American Airlines Boeing 787-8 N818AL at DFW. I think this had just come in from CDG.
Busy month of flying
June was my busiest month of flying to date. I had 15 flights during the month – traveling almost every week. July is shaping up to be just slightly more busy. Instead of putting out all of the pictures from the month, I will just share a few of the highlights during my travels.
During a layover at PHL I saw quite a few American Airlines A330s.
Checking out Chicago
I have probably connected through Chicago O’Hare a dozen or more times in the last few years, but have never actually visited Chicago via the airport. Until now.
First up is United Airlines Embraer ERJ-145 N11539 to take us to Chicago.
Back to Memphis
This week, I was headed to Memphis for a few days. One of the downsides of traveling from a mid-market to another mid-market is that there are rarely any direct flights, so it usually means connecting and a great risk of delays or cancellations – especially during the spring and summer months. Well, this week I got bit by the delay bug.
Continue reading “Back to Memphis”First Trip to Dallas
I have been to Dallas a few times in the last couple of months, but only for connecting flights. This time I actually flew to Dallas. I only got one picture since I had direct flights both ways and on the return flight the gates were situated in such way that I could not get a picture. Here is American Airlines 737-800 N335PH.
My return flight was American Airlines MD-83 N970TW. Both flights were long, but uneventful, which is always nice. Everything was on time this trip as well. This trip was a quick in an out, but I should be back to Dallas in a month or two, so hopefully I will have some interesting pictures.
