A few things… I only get 1-2 “vacations” a year so yeah, it’s extremely important I get where I’m going to make sure we’re set when it’s time. As i mentioned earlier, I used to live 10 minutes from the port so it was easier but now that I’m in Vegas, have you seen the airport? I LOVE it here but any time there’s anything going on, it impacts the entire city.
I live a few miles away from the strip. With construction, with F1, with the Super Bowl, with some marathon they have today, doing ANYTHING can add an insane amount of time to your daily activities. They had hundreds of thousands of people fly in. Imagine the stress the airlines are under. So i understand 3 days might be excessive but (I get to see my friends and family at home) I still won’t take the chance. Cancelled and delayed flights are so common now it’s just not worth risking IMO. Getting to the port with 5 minutes left? Bonkers. Give yourself time to relax, it’s vacation right?
