We arrived home Wednesday afternoon. All is well. The drive on Tuesday from Reno to Las Vegas was uneventful after it took 45 minutes to go 3 miles in Reno traffic on I-80 (due to an accident, we think). Most of the trip was on two lanes with no traffic (and 70 mph speed limits in Nevada).
We stayed overnight Tuesday in Las Vegas at our new mainstay, the Marriott Residence Inn near the airport. It’s a nice hotel on a quiet stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard well away from casino row. We had dinner the Bootlegger Bistro next door, a old-style Italian eatery. Good food. No pictures from Las Vegas as the only thing we saw was the hotel and the restaurant.
We drove home on Wednesday. Instead of taking the normal route by the Hoover Dam and through Williams to Wickenburg, we tried a different (longer by 40 minutes) passing by Searchlight, Needles, and Parker. It was vergin roads for us. Easy driving until we hooked up with I-10 to head into the Phoenix area.
While we were traveling, I booked a trip for us that will see us spend most of the month of May in our Irish home, Dingle. We’ll have the same house as last year. We’ll fly Phoenix to Boston and then Boston to Paris where we will pick up our new Peugeot. We’ll probably spend a night or two near Normandy (where we have been) before taking the ferry from Cherbourg to Dublin. Same route going home.
There may be some mini trips in the interim. Stay tuned.
I actually prefer the Searchlight way!!
Great of an Irish Spring, very neat
Didn’t you see the progress on the Raider stadium, its coming along, we can always see how much they’ve achieved even during our monthly trips there. They should be ready the Residence Inn will be charging $500 a night when there’s a game, its walking distance!!

Glad to hear you made it home safely.
I thought you might have gone to the Bruins game. They played in Las Vegas on Tuesday night.
Hope the coved-19 is under control by May. Ireland is closed. We were going on a road trip in April hoping to ski some spots between Milwaukee and Seattle. Everything is closed. Stay safe and stay well.
