Thursday Dec 23

Our flight doesn't leave until after 6PM tonight, so we parked our bags with the ball captain, had breakfast at the Pyramid Cafe again, and set off to the Excalibur next door to find the "Big Red Bus" for a city tour. Unfortunately, the weather would not cooperate. It was cold and drizzly so we didn't spend much on the open top level. Our tour guide was very entertaining!

The tour took over 2 hours so by the time we got back to the hotel it was time to head for the airport. The place was really busy! All flights are full. We'd heard about cancellations due to weather and Covid but all we noticed was a delay of about 30 minutes. We had to connect in Phoenix, uneventful. We got back to Boise about 1:00AM

Note to self: at 1:00AM in the Boise airport, when several planes had arrived about the same time, there are NO Uber or Lyft rides, nor any taxies. We wondered how we were going to get home! Finally, a cab showed up - cost us $50 bucks to get home!!

So, it was a fun trip! The Luxor is a fine hotel for a home base. The two shows we saw were great! We used Lyft exclusively to get around - that's a great system! Future readers of this post may not understand, but this is "Covid time". We were impressed that masking compliance everywhere we went was about 99.99%. Congratulations to everyone!
