My flight from Munich to Los Angels left 4:30 pm and very soon I remembered what it meant to fly around 10 hours in Economy. Fortunately I had an aisle seat and a very sympathic neighbour: Katarina from Ljubiljana. Some chatting and three movies later we arrived in LAX. I had watched Last chance Harvey with Dustin Hoffmann, The Gifthorse (Hilde) and the Reader. At LAX I had to wait two hours for my connecting flight to Las Vegas, where I arrived really tired at around 12pm. Once again back in Las Vegas which is always a good base for starting my Suthwest trips. Due to the many hotels its always easy to get a cheap accomodation.
At McCarran Airport I had to select and pickup my Rental car at the Alamo desk. My choice was a V6 motorized Kia Sportage 4WD. This year was the first time I chose a 4WD due to my planned trips on the Cottonwood Canyon road and to the Wave Hiking trailhead. Another 1h later I dropped into my bed in the Flamingo Hotel on central Strip.

Giuseppe Sunday, 5th of July 2009 at 01:06:33 PM This year I watched 11 movies on the Filmfest. Never seen so many but after having not been in cinema for month’ and having a quite rainy summer, The Filmfest met me at a receptive moment. The Goldcard further pushed me to take advantage of this one week a year possibility to watch rather unknown indie movies which will never make it to the big screens. Often enough you pick a pearl which is why I like this filmfestivals so much.
