Background
This year we had hoped to do a 2 week trip with friends (Chris and Emma) that included Disneyland, Grand Canyon and Las Vegas, in addition to visiting our friends (Jennifer and Tom) who live in Wilmington, DE.
Work constraints meant that we were unable to join Chris and Em for the entire trip and we were also struggling to find a good time to impose on Jennifer and Tom.
Work constraints meant that we were unable to join Chris and Em for the entire trip and we were also struggling to find a good time to impose on Jennifer and Tom.
So in order to solve this Rob and I decided on a trip across both coasts and were meeting Chris and Em in Vegas before flying to Philadelphia to see Jennifer and Tom over the Easter weekend, meaning I could get back to work for the end of the financial year.
As we waited for a while to book our trip the cost had increased from when Chris and Emma booked so our itinerary was as follows:
Fly Heathrow to Las Vegas via Charlotte - we had a 1 hour 30 between flights and hoped that would be long enough.
The flights were with AA (booked via BA) so left from T3 - I booked us the Hilton T2/T3 so that we could walk across in the morning.
We have global entry so should get through immigration quickly. There is a later flight so I am hoping if we miss the connection we can get the other one (🤞)
We were then spending 5 nights in Vegas staying at Vdara.
The only plans I was aware of for this element of the trip is that were going to the Sphere for something called 'postcards'.
I requested a visit to the Earl of Sandwich (obviously) and some pool time
Apparently there were many possible things on the list but Rob and our friend Chris were deciding on what we are doing
We were then flying Vegas to Philadelphia where we collected our car and drive to Jennifer and Tom's house for the long weekend.
We currently have no plans for this section but based on previous trips we would visit some shopping malls.
We were then flying back from Philadelphia to Heathrow T5, we left the car in the T5 parking so we can leave without any extra faffing on our return.
