Leg One


December 8, 2014

After saying good-bye to Curt and Austin, we took a shuttle to the Salt Lake Airport where we were helped by very friendly staff of Alaskan Airlines.  We boarded a small airplane (two propellers with 96 seats) along with 13 other passengers.  We were surprised at how low the plane flew over the desolate landscape of Nevada.  The topography was amazing.  Flying over Lake Mead reminded us of the view flying over the country of Italy.  Good flight, all went well.

We landed in Las Vegas prepared to spend the next ten hours waiting for the next flight.  Time to break out the licorice that Alicia was so kind to send us with.  Can’t travel without licorice!  We tried to rest and study Portuguese without much success.  Finally, late at night, we watched a fun movie on the laptop – Christmas Kiss – and finished just as it was time to board the plane to Miami at midnight.
