No Vegas

Our Thursday flight to Las Vegas out of Monterey was first delayed due to over heating problems with the plane prior to its originating takeoff in Vegas. We were scheduled to depart Monterey at 3:56 p.m. but that was not going to happen. A couple of hours later, the plane finally arrived in Monterey and the incoming passengers from Vegas disembarked.

Then it was announced that the plane again had 'problems' and that it would not be making a return trip to Vegas as originally scheduled. A majority of the would-be passengers then exited the Monterey airport in frustration.

15 or so minutes later, it was announced that the plane might soon be ready -- possibly good news for those would-be passengers still somehow remaining in the terminal.

30 or so minutes later, it was announced that the plane would not be ready. A replacement plane was to fly in from Las Vegas, scheduled to arrive in Monterey at 1:10 a.m. with boarding to take place soon after that for the return trip.

However, yours truly surrendered, not wishing to arrive in Las Vegas at 3:00 a.m. Friday. Rushing out to a series of basketball games on a few hours of sleep lost its appeal. The zombie look, while popular in Sin City, is not a good one for me. Yes, I am a wimp.

We'll still try and pick up as much news as possible about the hoops goings-on in Las Vegas and post that information here.
