The Las Vegas Airport

Hi again...
This morning I write you from the Las Vegas airport. Out the window I can not only see the US Airways planes, but the Mandalay Bay, Trump, Wynn, etc. This town is bizarre.

The cool thing that happened today is that I have now traveled enough this year with US Airways that they have made me Preferred SILVER status! WooHOo.... This means that if there is an upgrade to first class I might get it for Free! And of course the boarding earlier than all the other sad saps! HAAHAHAHAHAHAH (evil laugh, you know!) and no bag fees for my checked luggage! and other such awesomeness!

It's about damn time, I say to you US Airways. It's about time.

This morning also had in it a trip to the airport starbucks where I got a not very yummy reduced fat lemon poppy seed muffin that I had only a few pieces off the top before chunking it in the nearest receptacle... I also have a lovely lil' bottle of fiji water. Well, it was that or the ginormously huge other option of bottled water... so the tiny won out.

As I sit here, the sitting area at gate B17 is filling with the peeps that will accompany me on this flight. We will hopefully be boarding in about 30 minutes or so. I really can't wait to be home for this week and have a little time to catch up on my life!

Hope you have all had a great morning and I'll be seeing you again soon...
So long for now!

The Traveling Tina blog Begins... From Vegas!

Howdy all!
Welcome to my very first blog straight to you from Las Vegas, NV.

I am blogging today from my hotel at the Planet Hollywood Hotel on the strip. As some of you know, it is my hotel of choice on my once monthly trip here for business.
This time, my window to the world faces the roof of the auditorium where STOMP is performed nightly. I've had better views.


My Grand Adventures in Vegas this week were none so grand. I visited my stores and fixed some broken product, chatted up some peeps, talked to some tourist, had a veggie omlet at the breakfast buffet... Took 2 wonderful bubble baths in the awesome tub.
I've had my favorite sandwich twice (the Earl of Sandwich's Caprese!) in two days.

I don't really know what else to say about this trip. It has been mostly blah, although I did see Mos Def downstairs on the Mezz and may regret just a little that I didn't ask for a pic with him!

So, I decided to start this little blog because I spend a lot of my time traveling by myself for my job and find myself not doing a whole hell of a lot once I'm in my room for the night. This at least will give me something productive to do and keep my mind off other random thoughts.
There will be much traveling in Nov, so this is a good time to start!
So keep checking back and I will start adding pics so you can all see my places of travel and hotels I sleep in.

And always feel free to write or leave comments. I would love to hear from you!
Till Next time...
