Ruh roh. Ground stop at Las Vegas airport. - dmann - 01-16-2010
At the airport in Las Vegas (very early for my flight and again, got through security surprisingly quickly.) They started boarding one of the flights ahead of mine and then said everyone should go back and take a seat in the terminal as there is a ground stop order.
Wonder what's going on...

Well, that was quick. Back to boarding. That said, my flight isn't for another hour and a half, so feel free to post something to entertain me while I wait.

At least they have free WiFi and free charging facilities at the Vegas airport. Stay away from those slot machines, however.

Yes, love the free wifi here. If my flight isn't delayed, I should have enough battery power to last until I board.
No worries on the slot machines- I think I played all of $20 this trip and that was mainly so I could get a few cocktails while sitting with some friends.

I'll bet the weather there must be better than back in Chicago.

Yes, but unfortunately, I didn't get to enjoy any of it except for to and from the airport. Darn these business trips.

Yeah, been there and done that, trade show deal. Makes for long days, sore feet, and tied face muscles from trying to keep a nice fake smile on for 10-12 hours at a time. I liked it most of the time, but by the time the shows were over, I think everyone was ready to leave. Once in Kansas City, the shipping company didn't deliver our display and we had to go searching for it in a cab. Not fun, not fun at all, but we did stuff it in the trunk of the cab, somehow, and got set up in time.

Oh yeah, I can see rgG as a booth babe, selling her wares.

I should have known.

Been there, rgG! I do many tradeshows throughout the year, but this one is the killer. I'll get home at midnight, have tomorrow to "rest" and then back on the road Sunday for a 5 cities in 5 days tradeshow swing. This time though, I'll be driving through the Midwest...

Isn't the Adult Entertainment Convention in Vegas this week?
