Tuesday, 7th of February 2006 at 09:14:25 PMAfter 12 h flight from Munich to San Francisco I had to wait another two hours for my connecting flight to Las Vegas and first surprise when fetching my Rental Car: My booked compact size car was out: I got an free upgrade to a 235 H.P. strong V6 motorized Hyunday Sonnata: A real rocket for me who is used to drive a 100 H.P. Audi A3. That was a great receiption. Very tired after nearly 30 hours without bed, I arrived in my first hotel, the Las Vegas Hilton. First bad surprise when taking my baggage out of the car I noticed that my rental car did not have any licence plates neither on front nor on rear. Got quite a little bit nervous because I already was ready to fall into bed (1.00 h am local time, 10.00 am in Munich next day). After Hotel check-in I made call to rental car agency and they tranquilized me: Thats normal for new cars, they have a temporary permit in the windshield. I dropped into bed. First day with happy end.
Me and the Hyundai Sonnata V6.

Sunday afternoon I returned from my 8-day trip to Las Vegas and Los Angeles. I am still struggling with Jet-Lag (9 h difference between Munich and Las Vegas). After long time not writing to my Blog I will try to freeze some of my still warm travel impressions in a travellog. Craig Thompson known for his graphic novell “Blankets” recently released a new graphic novell named “Carnet de Voyage”. I will borrow this name for my Travel-BLOG. Related Posts:Related Posts:For one week I will escape this frosty Munich weather. Just booked a flight to Las Vegas…. I will also rent a car and drive around in the dessert a little bit. That’s something I really like: USA, renting a car, sitting in and driving in this beautiful landscapes of the southwest. Just set up weather.com with Las Vegas weather as my browser startpage. What I also enjoy very much: planing the trip: booking flight and hotels, renting car, making my trip day to day schedule. Christiane remains at home. She doesn’t see any sense travelling for one single week from Europe to USA, especially not to Las Vegas. Sometimes a man must go his own way 🙂 . Of course I will miss her, because on our last vacation in USA in 2004 (4 weeks in Nevada, California, Arizona and Utah) we had a great time together. Related Posts:2005: My first time in Manhattan. January 2005 I visited the first time the Big Apple. Never expected it would be a so great experience. Related Posts: |
