As mentioned in my last posting we weren’t yet sure what to go for next, however it would have been quite silly to go for San Diego without enjoying it a bit. So we’ve looked at the Zoo while BJ stayed at the hotel to give his body a day off to get rid of his cold (which turned out to be the absolutely right decision). We on our part, enjoyed the stay at the Zoo and the change from the last activities. Some animal pictures can be found here.

Afterwards we dropped back to the hotel and picked up BJ to start our trip to Vegas. After an about 6 hour ride we finally arrived there and checked in to our hotel. Most of the other stuff happened in Vegas is filed under our non-disclosure agreement based on “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas”. I can however tell that it was one hell of a trip. We needed all of our time for “different” activities and so weren’t able to go for Grand Canyon or Hooverdam either.

Our back flight was just the extension of our one-hell-of-a-trip, which we however didn’t want it to be. All started out right at the Vegas airport when we figured out that there are quite a lot of people trying to depart on mondays. To make things even easier we figured out our flight was put over 30 minutes earlier for departure. Later on turned out we missed a mail of our travel agency trying to tell us exactly this. Well, however we made it to the gate exactly when they pushed-back the plane for departure. Only thing we could do was to wave after it. After the persons at the gate absolutely pissed me (us) off by stating via the loudspeakers that they are no information or whatever and are going to close now, we had no other possibility then going back to the Check-in desk to rebook that stuff. The lady at the check-in desk later stated that she was so sorry for that, as they would have needed to do this up at the gate. Anyhow she did a really great job by finding an alternative flight for us going via Denver and Frankfurt which only caused us about 7 hours later arrival. The rest of the trip was quite smooth as we catched all the connections and also today arrived our luggage.

I myself enjoyed the trip and now try to work things out, that came up in the meantime.
