The next step in the journey. Follow my journey, if you wish. Viva las vegas - csm 2014. I got to the airport way too early for my flight February 1 because I had misread my reservation and my ride had to get to work. I used the airport time to catch up on some research. It turned out the last four people to get on the plane were classmates of mine, also going to Las Vegas a couple days early. The flight stopped in Phoenix where I found these wonders:. I can't imagine wanting to buy one, much less try it!
