We had a very good journey, starting with a train from Middlesbrough to Manchester airport. We then caught the shuttle to the Crown Plaza Hotel which, on first sight, seemed very nice. The room was very well appointed but cold, so we turned up the heating thermostat and waited for the room to warm up. It didn't. So after a couple of hours we called the main desk to tell them. They sent a man along with a portable radiator and eventually the room began to warm up. I decided to take a shower to warm up and nearly jumped out of my skin, after I turned the shower off and was getting dried, when the shower head just fell off with a clatter into the bath. It turns out that it was broken. The meals were expensive so we just ate the food we had with us and had an early night. Terry managed to have a shower the next morning by fiddling with the shower head. I don't think this is a hotel where we would stay again.
We had breakfast at the airport after check in and the flight was on time. The plane was practically empty so we had room to spread out which enabled us to stretch out on empty rows and sleep. Terry got some good photos of the frozen sea over Northern Canada and snow covered mountains over Northern USA. We landed in Las Vegas early and thought we were doing so well until we ran into a problem.
