Lori and I are currently stuck at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas for a 4 hours layover because of a delayed US Airways/America West flight, so I decided to shot some photos with the cheap camera and do some bored-in-the-airport live-blogging.
The free, fast Wi-Fi and ample power outlets are helping pass the time. Hear that SFO, FREE WI-FI! Yeah, San Francisco is the center of the internet universe alright. Our airport can’t event get Wi-Fi right.
I think the sound of the slot machines is driving Lori insane.
UPDATE: Well, the 2nd flight was delayed as well and on top of that, our luggage was sent to the wrong city. At this point, I would suggest avoiding US Airways/America West at all costs.

McCarran’s free WiFi should be standard in every airport in the world. Viva Las Vegas.
I don’t consider myself a jaded-business-traveler/airport-complainer, but every time I take America West, something seems to go wrong. After hundreds of thousands of miles of air travel, I still maintain a romanticized view of the whole thing, but America West always threatens my sense of wonder. I hate when my sense of wonder is threatened.
Turns out Kansas City International also has free wifi. Found that out recently when coming back from Thanksgiving.

If you are ever stuck in LV airport again, I recommend Ethel’s Chocolate – which I discovered there in Fall 2008 – as a way to counteract the aural assault of slot machines with yummy deliciousness.
