Well im on the Cheap Plane service - JetBlue that leaves from Salt Lake City
- 5 hour flight - $94 dollars. But I tell ya this airline is prob the best I
have had so far! Better than any of them....... Staff are so kind and happy.
They have leather seats all through out the cabin, little TV's in that back
of every seat with 24 LIVE VIA SATALITE channels. Almost brand new
plane...... I would hate to run a airline so hard with the cost of planes
and all. It will be interesting to see if Ansett gets it together - but I
doubt it. Salt Lake is a interesting place.... The hotel I stayed in was
called the Hotel Monaco - & like - WOW - such a funky little place - cheap
as - and was unreal.... Very similar to a cross of the Park Hyatt Melbourne
and The Sir Stamford Double Bay (originally Peppers) - cute, colourful, and
great........ After all my trekking around I needed a DRINK! And I mean a
REAL one. But you open the mini bar - nothing with any % in it! - Well why?
Mormon Country! Utah Laws - there is only 3 or 4 places in Salt Lake you can
buy it!!!! So I got directions and headed down to the "ALCAHOL DEPARTMENT OF
BEVERAGE CONTROL" local out let!!! oh that's so funny! I tell ya.... All
State Govt run and all. Very Interesting..... During my little walk home to
my hotel ( freezing my nuts off - my toes were ...... Oh yeah I did not have
any - could not feel them) I had a look around ..... Pretty architecture
..... I had a unreal day today..... Fantastic. I was only in Salt Lake City
for 30 hours but I had a ball....... I have never scene so much snow in my
life! Snow on the paths, roads, on the top of cars driving, trees,
powerlines, EVERY WHERE. Was a interesting experience. I went up to Skiing
country - only 30mins to get there, (there are several locations in and
around Salt Lake) I went to Park City - home of the 2002 Winter Olympics....
Gee I had fun, I got all my stuff, clothes, skis and all...... And was on
the slopes - sorry - I was falling down the slopes by 10am...... OH MY GOD -
IT WAS as they would say "IT WAS TOTALLY SICK" The runs were sooooo long. I
did ok actually. Much better than I thought I would........ It was great
fun.... Imagine that just one day! Skiing! was kewl. Went home at 4pm and
had a nice long hot shower.... And jumped on JetBlue bound for NYC. BYE BYE
love tim
