    I really didn’t need to take today off work, I’m not leaving for the airport until 4:30pm, but godDAMN I’m glad I did 😎

    I just need to shave, beard trim, shower and pack the toiletries I use for that and I’m good to go!

    No word yet on my business class upgrade bid… they said they’d email between 24 and 9 hours before the flight so that means up until 11:25am. I’m expecting I won’t get it.

      I remember you were going to hire a car. Normally one would just pick it up at LAX on arrival (or wherever your final flight lands). Please please Be extra careful and take it easy when driving due to jet lag. Your reaction times are WAY off.

        Yep picking up the car from LAX and driving 2 hours to Bakersfield on landing. I probably won’t be the one driving that though I suspect, but if I am I’ll be extra vigilant 🫶
