South Dakota Halloween Trip 2011

Entry Log Day 1: Weather, Raining, overcast and mid 60’s: Drove from Wichita Falls TX to DFW international airport. Flew AA to South Dakota airport just outside of Rapid city. (Travel info airport code is RAP) It was a long flight due to the time zone, so it looks like a 2hr flight but it is really 3hrs. Try to get a window seat the view changes often due to mountains and climate changes. I am a light to medium traveler and the hubs is a heavy traveler and we were both disappointed with the Enterprise rental car at Rapid City. We had reserved our car in advanced with our private account, and the car was dirty with visible stains on the fabric seat, (just yuck, who knows what the stain was) and we didn’t get to choose the car to fit our needs, one was chosen for us and the customer service was poor. As for the Rapid City airport it was small (think dirt road small) and it is mostly under construction and just to finish with my rant, when we returned to leave South Dakota for Dallas TX. The check in was half an hour late in opening up to check in your luggage, this is before a person is allowed to go through security so basically we were stuck with others in the cold entry of the airport with all ALL of our luggage before we could go through security, toilet, refresh ect., before actually boarding our flight. Needless to say I was a little disappointed and Rapid City Airport made me wait forever for my first cup of coffee, so uncivilized (sarcasm) pictures of the Hubs and Me
