I was in Las Vegas attending a convention when my wife called from Tampa telling me to turn on the TV. What a surprise. Later that morning I had the thought that more places in the US may be a target and Las Vegas would be a perfect place to hit. A few minutes later the electricity went out in my hotel and I thought, "They hit the hotel!" I was stuck in Las Vegas and could not get out. Three days later the airlines still could not indicate when I could fly out. They would put me on a flight then cancel the flight. If I had to be stuck someplace, I could not think of a better place to be stuck than Las Vegas. Finally, I was able to rent a car and drove back to Tampa. It took a long time but I did get to see the country. The only bad thing is that my mother-in-law died while I was traveling and I just got back in time for the funeral.
