One heck of a long road trip in just short of 2 weeks: 2673 miles, 11 hotel stops, 23 visits to Starbucks but only one visit to The Cheesecake Factory!

Once we were landside, we picked up the car which appeared to be in good nick, then we headed home via Beaconsfield Services for a Starbucks.

After checking in at the Flagship lounge, we were advised that the Qantas First Lounge was now open, so we popped over there to check out the lunch options.

Planning on catching the 7:30am shuttle to the airport, partly because (as appears to be the norm now), we can’t check in online.

By arriving early, we had lots of time to sort out our packing and then to head to the Cosmo hotel to drop off our car (almost a day and a half early).

The first segment of our trip back to Las Vegas was a 2-hour stint on the road to Barstow along the CA-58E and a few miles along the I15.

In contrast to the previous night, we both woke up after 6am having slept really well. So, finally on US time and we are heading back home tomorrow!
