Working 4 12 hour days is a killer, but to have 4 days off in a row is a joy. Started my visit leaving Evanston, Wyoming, at 3 am for an 8:25 Delta flight from Salt Lake City to Reno. What a joy to be on a Delta flight again.
We love to fly and it shows.. It sure does..
Salt Lake City is upgrading and their progress is to be commended. While TSA does not smile, (possibly due to few staff), and wish their conveyor belts would go slower, are my only complaints. They have been voiced.
Didn’t realize they have a female mayor in Salt Lake, nice to see. They also have a female mayor in Reno, guess it’s catching on.. it’s about time.
The SLC Airport parking is efficient, and only $10. per day, economy. The lot is enormous , well lit, and friendly bus drivers pick up customers timely. Masks and social distancing is practiced. Bus drivers sanitize after terminal drop offl.
Another nice touch .. volunteer program for the Airport. Any interest??
Art was different in the Airport – some beautiful, some local, and some questionable..
As always all good things must come to an end. Sadly, I left part of me in San Francisco as I drove to the airport. Here are closing pictures. Even the route to the airport was gorgeous.
Do you think I could get a job as a maid for Nancy Pelosi??? I’d even do it for a free room and would live in the cellar or garage, hell, even a storage closet. Can you imagine what her house is like? She must need help with her schedule… As my daughter would say, “Ha, Ha!”
From San Francisco took a flight to Salt Lake City and then to Orlando. I flew my dream airline, Delta, however, in all my years of flying Delta I had my first encounter with a nasty Delta employee. Shrugging it off to the pandemic, and we all have a bad day, I took her insults and let it go. Delta has done so much for me in my many years of flying with them that it was time for a withdrawal from that emotional quotient bank account called Delta Courtesies.
Flight was amazing and short to Salt Lake City Airport. What a lovely airport and they are undergoing renovation.
In the main lobby they had an enormous Christmas tree with comfortable seating and a pianist who played one of my favorites Claire de Lune. What a wonderful ending to a perfect time away.
The airport also had a display of rock and roll memorabilia. See pics below.
Another new find this airport held was a yoga room. Namaste.
Hallways were wide for the sparse volume, however, build it and they will come. And for those who haven’t visited Salt Lake City it is a treat with their beautiful mountains and friendly Mormons.
While partaking in hearty corn chowder from Squatters, a must visit restaurant at the airport, spotted an interesting dog mix, a German Shepard Maltese. Go figure. The owner had the dog’s genealogy done. They found this sweetheart left in a local dump and what luck for both dog and owner… Here are some pictures.
What a hoot! But who knows maybe in 10 years everyone will want one of these blends. I certainly do.
Then Delta came through once again. While sitting at the gate my name was called on the loudspeaker. Don’t know about you but when things like this happen I become unnerved. They moved me up 5 seats as I am a silver member. I now had more leg room.:)
The stars were certainly in alignment on this trip.
