We go to the USA...
so on one of the Steucha festle... Laski and I talked, that Sibylle is at the moment in Toronto for a year au pair and then we had the idea... maybe we should visit her, wouldn`t that be cool... let`s do something crazy, so we talked with Boeff who was all into it... and then we decided yes we go - one month, no planning, but we will buy a Delta airline Stand-by ticket for 400 $... and then we can fly as often as we want, whenever we want... and we can go all over the states.....

Stand-by with Delta air
so we became experts in reading the Delta airline book for the flights and learned to pick:

•   overnight flights - then we don`t have to pay for accommodation
• flights with breakfast, lunch or supper - then we don`t have to pay for food

and so we flew 18 times on this vacation and overall of 19.746 miles ir 31.778 km - our flights were:

•  Stuttgart -Frankfurt

• Las Vegas - Phoenix - Cincinnati - 1678 mi
• Cincinnati - Detrout - 229 mi
• Detroit - Cincinnati - 229 mi
• Cincinnati - buffalo - 410 mi
• Buffalo - Cincinnati - 410 mi
• Cincinnati - Salt Lake City - 1449 mi
• Salt Lake City - West Yellowstone - 273 mi
• Idaho Falls - Salt Lake city - 189 mi
• Salt Lake City - Los Angeles - 590 mi

• San Fransisco - Atlanta - Orlando - 2445 mi
• Orlando - Miami - 193 mi

July 25
We flew from Stuttgart - Frankfurt to New York - with the air port shuttle we drove to the next Terminal
then we called Aimee (Laski as the best English speaking person did) to let her know that we are in the US and that we would visit her
and then: we decided to book a flight and go to Las Vegas
we had to wait because the flight to Dallas was full - then Boeff had to take some more cloth off at the checkpoint

We need a car
we decided we need a car, so renting one was the first job and then we went downtown to the strip... and there we stayed until 4 am to see the nightlife:

•  that means night number one and no sleep
• lots of action and nice warm weather
