Having left the aircraft first, I was on my way up the airbridge, when I heard "Mr Billingham" from an AA rep that was now behind me. I had to double back and take a boarding pass from her.

I was awoken abruptly by the alarm this morning - I was clearly in a deep sleep. I caught the 5am Hoppa Hotels bus and bypassed the e-ticketing system, which failed miserably over the last couple of days.

Another entertaining TP Run is on the cards: this time to Los Angeles. LA is not a normal destination for me, since it is usually just a connection point on the way to another US city.

As normal, the day started with a visit to Starbucks. It was my turn since Vick was coming down with a cold. The nearest Starbucks was about half a mile away, so it took about 10 mins to get there.
