Up at 4:00am...

But it's not bad getting up at that hour when you know you're going on a trip! Still, that's a little early. But, the hour long drive to Halifax airport went by quickly, and then we didn't have long to wait for our flight  to Philadelphia.

We're doing the milk run today...Halifax - Philadelphia, Philadelphia - Dallas, and Dallas - Las Vegas.

Three flights, plus a four hour time change makes for a bit of a long day. But, before we know it, we'll be back in the motorhome this evening and we'll be out exploring again on Wednesday!

Slept for most of the two hour flight to Philadelphia, and arrived here at about 8:15am. It's fairly warm out, at about 63F (17C), but it's drizzling with rain as you can see from the photo.

Wet in Philly.

We've got a four hour wait here, and then we fly to Dallas, Texas. Only a 45 minute connection time when we get there, so hopefully we're on time.

We end up arriving in Vegas at 6:10pm, and then we've got a short bus ride and a 15 minute walk to get back to Sherman!

Had our last day with our daughter and her family yesterday. Nice to give the kids back to mom and dad!

A few days ago, I had mentioned this toy remote control helicopter that they had in the house. I got pretty good at flying it over the last week, but there sure is a learning curve. It's a neat little unit and lots of fun! Check out the short video I made...

There's a bit of a learning curve to fly one of these, so it's a good thing they make them durable. I crashed numerous times and the thing never broke! It's actually amazing that they can build these and sell them so cheaply, and still make them so they don't break.

The one that I've been flying is actually one of the cheaper ones...it's only $20...!
