Delays mount at McCarran

Upon arriving home at McCarran airport this morning the flight crew had a not-so-welcome piece of news. Travelers are being told to be at the airport at least three hours prior to their flights when leaving Las Vegas. The FAA'sLas Vegas McCarran International Airport shows the current status and the lines didn't look too bad. The security line for the "D" gates looked like it might take 30-45 minutes. When I left on Thursday afternoon it took about 20 minutes to go from the parking garage to the gate (with a pre-printed b

Research

I've been doing a bit of research tonight on the topic of Airport Noise Laq. Of particular interest is any information about laws and regulations that pertain to military air fields.

Good morning Las Vegas

Good morning from a cloudy Las Vegas. We flew in last night on Allegiant airlines. it is definitely the cattle car approach to flying. Pack as many people as humanly possible in a Boeing MD-82. It is however, a great service and it is great to be able to fly directly from Fort Collins again. It does remind me however, of a problem with airline seats and the 12-inch PowerBook. The problem is the back of the seat in front of you when reclined will catch the top edge of the computer and tends to compress the screen.

Cool service

This is a pretty cool service that allows one to make a map of states that one has visited or countries visited.

Departing for Denver

In Las Vegas at McCarran Airport awaiting the winged chariot to carry us home to Denver. It's been a wonderful few days. I didn't get as much done on some of my PHP projects as I should have but I'll catch up on the flight and at home tonight. Still have a broken knob on the fireplace so there will be no fire, but there will be dogs to keep the feet warm. I'm trying to upload pictures now but they keep stalling. Some pictures show Las Vegas as the city prepares for the New Year's celebration. It's been cold out west. The longer we stay the colder it gets. The song of the moment is Simon and Garfunkel's Homeward Bound. Less than two MB has transfered and it says it's getting all of 2.3KB/s.... pictures will have to wait until later. Otherwise I've been pretty impressed with the cell connection this trip.
