Day 18 and 1

Well it here last 2 days been a rollercoaster trip like always with me so here the last 2

Day 18 awake 3 am but thought there no way I getting up so just read iPad Maria woke around 6 and I said there no way I going out but I did just to book in for our flight home. We just talked and rested then around 9 we walked to the four seasons then back to the Mandalay bay then teamed back to the Excalibur checked out left luggage at left luggage walked up the strip then back then 5 hours before our flight caught the taxi to airport they checked us in early which was nice we just had a walk around brought a couple of things lost the final 15 dollars on slots 😆 then waited our flight left 20 minutes late but that was fine when we got to Heathrow it was very low cloud Maria was sick gin but not as much we. Got off 35 minutes early we made our way though Heathrow caught the train to our hotel for the night I been up for around 29 hours so we grabbed a bite Maria was fine know then headed to bed tomorrow home

It’s know 4;:17when I wire the last bit I will post pictures when I am back home. We catch the 11:30 coach from Victoria to Norwich home around 3:30 this afternoon.


Hope you all enjoyed our trip like a lot of you it was 3 years in the making and well worth it


Here are just a few final thoughts

Pre trip

I had loads of questions about this which where answered on so I thank you.

Pre fly test 24 hours we did these at Heathrow meat to be 8 am but got them at 7 am result by 7:45

Veryfly so easy to do I had back up hard copy’s so if needed they where there.

Check in BA checked in 24 hours before flight we where in airport 6 hours before flight printed out boarding pass and managed to drop luggage off before check in opened which was brilliant.

Ba flight apart from MARIA This was excellent.
We got help in vegas someone meet us off the flight and they took us right though skipped the lines and though to taxi in lass then 45 minutes just a note here did not asked for this but a lovely air stewardess booked this they also said should we land in Canada and get Maria to hospital but I said no Maria had this type of thing before when we got off the captain asked if she be ok I said yes and he said hope it don’t spoil vaccination. I said after a good night sleep she be fine.


Vegas

This place was buzzing from our check in at the Excalibur to check in so so bizzy the strip was unbelievable I was so shocked at how it was same as the casinos every where.

Masks

Masks with people chose which is how it should be on the plane going there when Maria fell I’ll I stopped wearing mine air stewardess said 100% fine in taxi driver said not needed if you dont want to wear them same as on transport.

Hotels

The uk ones where fine but the Excalibur looks very dated fine to stay in but when you go in to other hotels there a lot more wow factor rather then is this still going. I did like the Excalibur but I don’t think we stay again there a lot more better hotels.

That’s it 2022 finished any questions I am happy to answer and just yo say I will be posting more pics from home latter 😆

Until the next time.

Lovely TR Kevin, thank you so much for sharing with us. You certainly got your steps in every day !

I hope your final part of the journey back to Norfolk goes smoothly for you both.

I know you were asking about fine dining experiences to take Maria too - which one did you go for in the end and was it the experience you had hoped for ?

Looking forward to seeing more photos when you have the time to post them 👍

Glad Maria was a bit better on the way back - I bet she was dreading it.

That sounds like a great and packed trip. So sorry about Maria's travel sickness. My DH once went actually green on a bumpy flight, but he recovered quickly as soon as turbulence stopped. Sounds as if you'll get back into your UK sleep pattern quickly since you never get out of it!

Sorry also that you didn't win big, but there's always a next time!
