I slept ok for about 4 hours, but by the time New York hit midnight I was wide awake. I decided not to fight it – I struggle sleeping in at the best of times, so when I have critical timed stuff to do, there’s no chance. It’s the third day and I haven’t gone […]

Preparations Nice quiet day today ahead of the start of my first trip in 18 months or so. Not flying until late in the day, but decided to take the day off to avoid any last-minute stress and to make sure I’ve got everything in order, including all of the covid testing procedures. I took […]

So, this was my last time in the Flagship Lounge at LAX for a while. I’ve never thought of it as being that special, but it has turned in to my base on this trip - I’ve been in to this lounge/airport 4 times now in just a few days. So I’ve grown a little fond of it.

I had set my alarm for 8am - fat chance of staying asleep until then! Woke at 5:30am and decided to get back on line - always seems loads to catch up on!

I had an hour or so in the AA Flagship Lounge before heading to Gate 48B for my flight to HNL. Whilst I was in the lounge I had to taste the Clam Chowder which I adore, and it was very good.

I spent about an hour and a half in the Admiral’s Club at Gate D30, before I realised I needed to get all the way back to Gate D4 for my flight. I spent all of that time updating FT and my blog, so nothing exciting to report.
