I'm not overly excited for this trip, but I held out some hope. I had about 1 hour of sleep and got to the airport around 4:15AM. That basically sucked and I was surprised at how busy Sea-Tac was at that time. After a long, grueling plane ride to Houston and then connecting flight to Philly, I had to get a rental car and drive about 1.5 hours to Atlantic City and find my hotel, Harrah's Casino & Resort.
After finding out that my hotel wasn't booked, I was able to swing a suite for less than the regular price of a normal room! I ended up meeting with the other two Boeing guys who took a different flight and had dinner and we walked around the casino floor and tried to play some slots, failed, and walked around more.
You know that movie Swingers? Of course you do. Well you know when they say about how they like to keep it old skool around here? This is Atlantic City they're talking about, not old town Vegas. Finding someone even near my age group was a rarity. There were some but even the mid-40s Boeing guys I was with felt young in this crowd of senior citizens. Crazy.
I'm hoping my cold/cough go away and I get to enjoy this trip a little bit more. I'm hoping to at least stroll the Boardwalk, check out a show or something, and relax a bit between my work. I could use a break.
