Departure

5:24 a.m.
So, I was up early and making sure that everything was taken care of. My flight outta Sac leaves at 6 a.m.  I was gonna Uber, but my girlie Chris took me to the airport instead.  It was so nice to leave with a friendly face.

Kitties are locked in and food, water, doors, etc. taken care of. Thermostat set to 63 degrees and all bathroom and bedroom doors wedged open. I think I have everything I need.  If I don't....

I know people are concerned that I'm spending time in a Country that is upset with Americans right now.  I'm feeling ok about it.  I might be a little more hesitant if I hadn't been there before, but it's not like I'm going into an area that I'm unfamiliar with.  Looking forward to seeing Arturo and getting an ice cold beer in Hemingway and John Wayne's bar.  Here we go peeps...

8:49 a.m.
Well, I've navigated LAX successfully. Although I did have to exit the secured area, there was a side street from the parking garage that took me directly across the entire airport to the Alaska terminal.  Thank God!  That, plus having TSA Pre...., well, I was GOLDEN!!!  Looks like I worried for nothing, but I'd rather plan then not make the flight.

I picked up a chicken sandwich, which wasn't half bad and ate half, but didn't open my chips.  This was a $15.00 meal...REALLY?  I would've picked up a sandwich the night before, but being without a vehicle has its drawbacks.  In the grand scheme of things, this bitch isn't doing half bad...well, that is until I get home to solve the vehicle problem.  In the meantime, it's time to get ready to fly to Mexico.  Wish me luck peeps!
