Just landed and made my way to the hotel. All of my taxi drivers have been Ethiopian. They’re surprised when I greet them. So …. Thank you, Peace Corps Ethiopia language training! 😂

The flight is really a fast up and down, but I upgraded to first class ($20.00) anyway. That’s five first class flights in a row. Will I ever be able to fly coach again? Of course …

I also upgraded my room (with the refund from my last LA hotel). I’m now in a “fresh” by Stay Well room, with the vitamin c shower attachment. The first room smelled like cigar smoke (or something else). It made me dizzy, so they moved me.

In case you’re wondering, if you’ve been vaccinated, you don’t have to wear a mask. A lot of restaurants and buffet are still closed, but Vegas is planning on reopening, June 1st! —GGT

Might go play a slot or two and then call it a night. Or —- just save the money and call it a night. — GGT
