Lila and I flew in to Vegas yesterday and rented a car with little trouble... We flew on a Virgin America flight, which if you haven't done, is pretty fun as far as planes go. As you play with great inflight entertainment systems you're bathed in a purple light cast from the plane's overheads... It sort of feels like being in a lame club... At least what I think a lame club might be like!
We spent a while in Henderson, a suburb of Las Vegas, picking up some stuff at REI that we didn't want to pack, and then buying a GPS unit.
Drove out of Vegas and went to the Hoover Dam... It is a pretty colossal construction, although there isn't that much to see. There is a tour that highlights the inner-workings, but we didn't grace the tour guides with our presence. Afterwards, we continued driving, for several hours, and finally made it to flagstaff where we had a room booked at a motel.
After a quick breakfast and some internet time, we are going to go pick up some food and camp stove fuel and head off to the Meteor Crater, a short drive to the east out of flagstaff. Then its off to the Grand Canyon!
