Monday July 16 - Going home
Jul. 18th, 2001 03:14 pmI don't feel so bad today, I got up and left before anyone else got up. I sat in the lobby for a while talking to some of the few def-con folks left. Laughing boy was leaving. I took a taxi to the airport. My first left left at 12:05. I got a good view of the city and the strip. Took a couple of pictures. The trip was pretty quet. The first words out of my neighbors mouth were "so, did you win?" She had been there playing slots. The guy next to her had lost $6K his first day but says he won most of it back. People are strange. The scenery on the way back was amazing, the desert is alive with color, mountains pop up out of nowhere and rivers carve beautiful ridges out of the land below.I had a 2 hour stop in Denver Colorado and got a raspberry sherbet. They loaded the plane early (30 min) During the decent my face will hurt due to the change in pressure on my broken nose :-( It's actually doing much better today. The first leg I couldn't get an exit row. However I did get a window seat. The next flight I get both(2ed leg) The pressure has caused my nose to bleed again grrr. First leg was a Boeing 737 The wings are strange on these planes, the lift panels are on the back instead of the front. Second leg is a 727 hmmm reminds me of working at BAX.
