In-n-Out...

Justin, Michael, and I started our morning out yesterday at 6:30..yep an unheard of hour at our house. Took the 8:45 non-stop flight to LAX all for one delicious thing....
Mmmm...We were going to rent a car because it will cost $17.50 just to get a taxi out of the airport...When we got to the rental car place the lady told us that we should just get back on the shuttle toward the airport for FREE and have the driver drop us off at the hotel before you get to the airport and walk to In-n-Out. GREAT IDEA!! Instead of $36 for the car it cost us $6 for a taxi back to the airport after lunch!


Our return flight didn't leave until 4:40 so we had lots of time to kill at the airport and Terminal 3 leaves lots to be desired in the shopping department. So we went upstairs to see if we could check out the boardroom. An annual membership for the boardroom is $275!! When we got up there we were greeted by the boardroom supervisor. I told her I was from Reservations and that we just wanted to see what the boardroom was like. Since they were REALLY slow she let us stay up there until our flight...which was GREAT! We watched a little bit of the travel channel and had some drinks and snacks...it made the 2 and a half hour wait so much better!

We've decided a trip to In-n-Out burger will be a monthly necessity...next month...RENO!!

I left out part of the day when I posted the first draft...I only planned a 40 minute connection in PDX thinking we should be fine because all of the gates in PDX are pretty close together. I hadn't planned on our flight from LAX being delayed. First they were late boarding, then we sat on the tarmac for almost an hour waiting for SEA to get the paperwork right...then waited another 15 minutes for our turn to take off. Luckily we made up some time in the air and PDX held our flight for 10 minutes because we had a dozen passengers connecting to BOI. So when we landed in PDX the flight attendants had announced to let the BOI passengers off first, once off, we RAN from the C gates to the A gates...and made it home.

Michael complained that the first time I posted this there weren't any pictures of Justin and I...but the picture I took of Justin didn't turn out and these were the only two pictures Michael took of us while we were waiting for our delayed flight....

Hey Jamiers... isn't that a little piece of "in and out burger" on your teeth there? This sounds like it was a lot of fun. I hope you do this every month.
