UMTravels

Planes, trains, automobiles, the whole works today.

Out of the condo at 9:30 — with me sleeping in the truck most of the way back to Fort Collins so I can catch the shuttle at the Hilton at 12:30. Yeah, I know, that’s allowing a lot of slag time in the schedule.

True — got to the Hilton at 11am. Read the paper, called the shuttle service and moved my trip to DIA up to the 11:30 shuttle (which got there at 11:45). As for DIA, I got there at 1:30 and went directly to the President’s Club (Continentals airport club that Alaska has privileges with) for papers, snacks and booze.

Flight was running about 15 minutes late, but the crew was exceptionally good (thanks, Leslie). The last couple of times I’ve been in First the attendant seems more concerned with her (yes, they were all “hers”) magazines than either providing service to First Class or help to the Economy class attendants.

In on time at 7:05, and out of MasterPark and back the house at 7:45. Not bad.

With bar-b-qued short ribs and a small salad (pus the scotch and wine), no need for dinner at the house tonight — which is good because other than eggs there isn’t much in the fridge in the way that isn’t condiments.
