all things cbl

So I’m sitting here in the McCarran Airport.. waiting for Gate D41 to open up and let us board our first of two flights to Europe.

Fun things I have noticed so far:

• There are two Italian guys across from us chatting it up. I can pick up a bit of their lingo, but not enough to figure out what exactly they’re saying.
• There are not enough power outlets in this terminal for all the laptops that I see. People are walking around looking for them all (just like I was 30 minutes ago. Suckers!), and making comments as they pass my outlet area and see both full.
• There are a lot of Apple laptops here. I’ve seen at least 6 from my view point (including my own).
• Traffic wasn’t too bad coming down considering the construction. Much better than my last few trips to Vegas.
• Ted is an airline that I’ve never heard of. And it seems they have “economy plus” that’s $54.00 more and gives you an extra 5 inches of leg room plus you’re seated in the first 11 rows.
• Business Elite rocks. I dont have to stand in the winding line to check-in. We get our own check-in line. There were only two people in front of us. Security also rocks, because there’s a separate line for Business/First class.
• Security guy asked me if I have a wide-angle lens in my camera bag. I answered, “of course”. He said “I’ll have to ask you to refrain from taking my picture with it then, it makes me look fat”.
• I hate taking my shoes off for security
• Turns out my cell phone sets off the metal detector.

More later..
