Las Vegas vacation

Sunrise at Albany airport Our flight to Las Vegas was supposed to leave at 7:00am. It didn't, due to personnel issues and then finally a mechanical difficulty. Then they told us the plane wasn't leaving. So we finally got a different flight, but it didn't leave until about 6pm that evening. So, we sat in the Albany airport for about 13 hours before we were able to finally be on our way. I was just thankful to be able to leave that same day, instead of being put up in a hotel and leaving the next day. So that was a great start to our vacation. We had a great time tho!
Finally on our way Here are pics of our condo for the week
