Might as well keep this thread going. Can't wait to hear about the return journey, though probably not as dramatic since you'll <presumably> be together for that trip home.

So...just why did she manage to miss not one but two flights on the way out? The first one seemed to be due to her getting to the airport much too late to have any reasonable chance of making the flight. But how, assuming she was still at the LAS airport, did she miss the next flight nearly 3 hours later?
