We arrived in Washington, Utah yesterday about 4:30 pm Utah time and we both went to bed. It was suppose to be a nap, but it stretched into an 8-hour night. So it is now 2:10 am and I am catching up on email while Donald is back to sleep.
We are just south of Zion National Park and we traveled through quite a varied terrain between Las Vegas (LV) and here yesterday. There was in particular a spectacular pass through the mountains and the gorge of the Virgin River. We wanted pictures, but our cameras were still packed and there were no places to stop. We will have them ready today.
We left Charlottesville, VA, at about 5:30 am, after my having to be "wand searched" because of course I set off the alarm with my bionic knee. Our flight left earlier than we planned because the one to Detroit was canceled and they redid our tickets to Atlanta. This took forever at the ticket counter, but we got to Atlanta fine. We found out later that one bag had the ticket of someone else going to Detroit and then to Las Vegas.
However we arrived in LV at 10 am their time with only 3 of 4 bags. After waiting at the carousel for an hour and in line for baggage claim for an hour more we found out that the fourth bag was due to come in at 1:30 pm. We left to get the rental car and came back to find the bag. We were so happy to see it when it finally arrived.
We were so lucky that our bag finally got to where it was suppose to go with someone else’s ticket on it. It could have gone anywhere, but had the right final destination. I hope the other person found their bag at the baggage claim!
We didn't leave LV until 2:30 or so. We drove up the strip, which is quite different from what I'd expected, but were relieved to hit the road north.
