The flight
Rosie and I know nothing about time zones. To start off, we were *convinced* Vegas and San Diego were in different time zones, one hour apart. So we were extremely confused when the pilot was telling us the local time, which didn't jive with what we were thinking, especially in light of the fact that we had a connecting flight to catch, on a different airline, to get to San Diego.
For the record, Vegas and San Diego are both PST, meaning 3 hours back from TO.
We flew Jetsgo to Vegas, and many have been asking how the airline is. For one, it's comfortable enough to sleep, per Exhibit A:
And the view from the plane was beautiful:
No complaints really, esp for the price we paid, it was good value =)
Got to Vegas, and transferred onto America West to fly to San Diego. Rosie and I were both out like a light, we fell asleep before the plane even took off at midnight PST [3am EST]. I woke up to the captain saying that we had started the descent.
Linda picked us up with the car. By the time we picked up our luggage, it was about 1:30am PST [4:30am PST]. Good thing Linda was driving, we were so tired!
Can't say that we've seen much of the city yet, but we certainly felt the heat and humidity in Vegas, though San Diego had a nice coastal breeze. One thing's for sure, it's SWEET to see real palm trees!!
And... we're in CALIFORNIA!! =) It's so good to be on vacation... =)
