Blog time 1045 EDT sitting in plane flying over who knows

The alarm goes off at 0400. We reluctantly get up. Our flight is at 0600 so we have to hustle if we want to get to the airport the recommended 90 minutes before takeoff. Actually we arrived at the airport only 60 minutes before take off. We had our TSA pre check so no problem getting through security. Flight to Chicago went without a hitch. The flight to LA was 100% full. Luckily we have three seats together.

No internet on plane so I started this blog. Stay tuned.

Blog resumes Saturday; Arrived in LA on time and headed to Hertz to pick up car. Just a note that Hertz plays fast with their charges. I prepaid and was told that I only needed $44 at check in. Wrong the bill came to $154! No more Hertz.

Drove directly to hotel in Redondo Beach. Room was nice, complete with kitchen. We had a late lunch at In and Out Burger. Nancy and I thought the burgers were good. It was 1500 and the place was jammed. However, when we got back to the room Nancy had a strong negative reaction to the burger. No more In and Out.

Missy picked up AJ around 1600. We did some shopping at Vons. Bought wine and cheese.

Called Steve and arranged meeting for dinner Saturday night in Seal Beach, followed by attending grandson Lucas’s BB game.

We both had some wine and cheese for dinner. Missy had given us a box of crackers to eat with our cheese. She also bought several apples. I had one before bed. We had been up since 0400 so we headed to bed at 2100.
