US Reunion - part 1

Whenever you organize anything which involves a lot of people coming from different places you expect some glitches. After the initial starting trouble that we had the entire trip was really awesome. The people who were meeting up initially were Biplab (aka billi), Debjit (aka dabba), Narayanan (aka nari), Vivek (aka khassi) and myself (aka madda). Dabba couldn't make it because of deadlines that he had to meet. Hats off to billi for renting a car and driving down to Vegas when he couldn't make the trip initially after he couldn't board his flight. I will try to cover the entire trip to the best of my knowledge. Since I am trying to cover this in detail this will be 4-part series of the reunion. Will start with part 1 of the 4 part series.

Trips plan was to meet up at Las Vegas, spend the night there checking the Vegas night life on the first day. Get up early and leave for Zion National park and after spending time at Zion National park head out to Bryce Canyon if time permitted. Then head to Grand Canyon South Rim either directly from Zion National park or from Bryce Canyon depending on if we made the trip to Bryce Canyon or not. After spending the early part of sunday at Grand Canyon we were to head back to Las Vegas and reach Vegas on sunday night. Have fun on sunday night at Vegas. We were staying at Stratosphere so we had to do the rides there. After that spend time in the casinos check out the time Las Vegas night life. Get up as early as we could and then check out the casinos during the day and then probably catch some show if possible and then head to the airport and back to our respective places.

Night 1 was when we all got together at Las Vegas airport. When I arrived at the airport everyone else other than billi had already arrived, and we were just getting done with the process of renting out the SUV which boka had rented out earlier. After renting the car we headed out to are hotel. We went and checked into the hotel for the night. We decided that we should get something to eat as we were all really hungry after the long travel, thanks for the US airlines not providing food in the long distance flights. After grabbing something to eat we decided that we should crash as people had already had a long day.
