Christmas in Las Vegas 2011_Day 15_Flying Home

\"Christmas

On Friday, December 30, 2011; jim and Judy got up around 1 AM to get dressed, eat breakfast of steak, potato salad with bread and butter, and finish packing and clearing out our 3-Bedroom Presidential suite at the Wyndham Grand Desert in Las Vegas. We left the timeshare at 3:45 AM, returned the rental car to Enterprise at the Rental Car place on Gilespie Street at 4:15 AM, put our luggage on a cart, and boarded a Car Rental Shuttle to the McCarran Airport. We got off the shuttle bus and put our luggage on another cart to wheel it across the street to the Delta Sky Caps where our luggage was tagged for Atlanta/Valdosta and our boarding passes were printed at 4:45 AM. We went up the escalator and made our usual stop at the restroom before going through the very crowded airport security. This was the first time I’d had a full body scan–feet apart with arms overhead. We made it through security with no problems, put back on our shoes, jackets, and belts, and stuffed items back into our pockets before boarding the train over to our gate. We walked off the trained, rode up the escalators, and walked to our gate around 5:10 AM. We boarded our packed plane for Atlanta at 5:40 AM and took off at 6 AM just in time to see the sun rise in the East. The flight was 3 hours and 18 minutes. We arrived in Atlanta around 12:30 PM. First we rode the train from Terminal T to Terminal D and found the Delta SkyClub for a restroom break. We took our carry-on bags with us to a very crowded Chili’s in Terminal D for a delicious, healthy lunch around 1-2 PM. We went back into the SkyClub for about 45 minutes before finding our gate. There were only 10 chairs at our gate; so, we stood until our zone was announced. We boarded our Delta Connection around 4:15 PM and arrived at the Valdosta Airport around 5:30 PM. Our luggage arrived with us; so, we packed my Lincoln and drove home, arriving around 6:10 PM. We were tired but happy!
