Awake: 5:47am Temp 60 Cloudy Overnight @ Las Vegas, NV
After breakfast we drive to the nearest Sprint store again to make a
change in our cell phone service. Turns out, the lady we talk with this
time recommends we deal with another Sprint service store nearby if we
will be using our cell phone for data usage with computer. Total time
spent on this transitional setup was over 2 hrs. Michele did a good job &
explained the difference in having an air card vs. a cord for our computer
plus she was very personable & cute. We keep our same cell number.
Next we drive to the Vegas strip & find parking in a small lot next to the
Excalibur Casino….walk to the Tropicana Casino & spend over 2 hrs touring
the 300 artifacts on display from the sunken Titanic. A lot to read about
& a lot of pictures to take us back in time. The largest item on display
weighed 15 tons; a piece of the ship’s siding. Most of the smaller
artifacts were in Plexiglas containers which were temperature & humidity
controlled. It was amazing to see so many items in such good condition
after spending over 70 yrs lying @ the bottom of the ocean. It was,
without a doubt, a grim reminder of how such a tragic event could happen
to a proud ship that was advertised to be unsinkable.
7:40 Dinner: Crab cakes from Costco, asparagus and roasted red peppers in
a parmesan sauce + a fresh spinach salad with cranberries, walnuts, &
grapefruit slices.
No TV tonight. High temp today=75 Lights out: 11:03pm
