Some of this Post will be repetitive to some of you because I had internet issues with the DEC 5, 22 Post and published it before it was complete.
Below is how I ended the DEC 5, 22 Post
Last Saturday, December the 3rd, Patti and I flew South from Anchorage, Alaska, to Seattle, Washington, and then to Las Vegas, Nevada. Then we drove from Las Vegas South to Laughlin, Nevada, where we will be staying 6 nights. This upcoming Sunday, December the 11th, we will drive to Phoenix, Arizona, where we have medical appointments at the Mayo Clinic.
After enjoying the winter months under sunny skies and warm temperatures, we plan to return to Alaska in April 2023.
If you would like to have some additional details of our trip, please click onto the below link, and you will see a Post we published this past Saturday, December the 3rd, on our dotnet website.
In last Saturday's Post, I did not include any photographs. The purpose of this Post, and the DEC 5, 22, Post, is to show the photographs I snapped during our trip.
As I ended the DEC 5, 22, Post, we were on the plane and getting ready to fly South to Seattle, Washington.
Now some photos that I snapped during our visit to the Seattle Airport.
We are on the ground in Seattle. What ? Snow in Seattle?
Time to deboard our plane. Keep in mind that, by the time we arrived in Seattle, we had been up for hours, had gone through all the drama of getting to the Anchorage Airport, getting checked in, passing though security, waiting for our Seattle flight to board, boarding and then sitting in an airplane seat for over 3 hours. Then, deboarding the plane !
We are now in, and moving through the Seattle Airport to the boarding area for our flight to Las Vegas.
We are at the boarding area for our flight to Las Vegas. We had a full house !
Then our conversation lept away from smartphones to the National Football League !! .. when I said to the lady .. " What takes the two of you to Las Vegas ?" .. The lady replied .. " We are coming down to see the Los Angeles Chargers (6 - 5) play the Las Vegas Raiders (4 - 7) !! My Nephew, Foster Sarell, who wears number 73, is starting the game as the offensive right tackle for the Chargers. "
In case you missed it here somewhere, yours truly has followed the NFL since High School so I could talk-turkey to the lady.
Our friend Olga in Chita asked me what did I mean with the term "talk-turkey". Olga it means to discuss something frankly and practical. I have followed the National Football League since High School and I have played football as well. So I knew that what I was saying to the lady was accurate. I was talking-turkey to her Olga.
And then we were in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The airport was immaculate.
Somehow we (with Patti navigating) successfully found our way out of the Las Vegas Airport onto Interstate 215 heading to U.S. 95 and then South to the College Drive exit in Henderson, a suburb of Las Vegas. We then had a quick visit with Jay and Eileen. We mean quick, we did not go into their home. The reason our visit was so quick is that darkness was fast approaching and neither Patti nor I enjoy night driving anymore !!
Christmas IS coming ! Jay and Eileen's two next door neighbors have decorated!
And then out and off we drove with Patti driving because your Captain was toast at this point in time. South we headed down U.S. 95 heading for Laughlin, Nevada.
Of course we stopped in Searchlight Nevada.
We were in "dire need" of a McDonald's Oreo Cookie McFlurry!
The Edgewater Casino Hotel.
There you have it. Photos of our trip from Anchorage, Alaska to Laughlin, Nevada via Seattle and Las Vegas.
Cap and Patti Pretty tired but still standing !
