Y8 D338

Sometimes minor travel miracles do happen. I was scheduled to land at 11pm. That flight last I heard was getting in around 2am instead. I wouldn't know because I managed to get home at 8pm. Score.

I went to the client from 8-12 and they were so respectful of me being out of there by noon that at ten minutes to the hour, the coordinator told everyone that's it, he needs to leave. That was really awesome. He then made sure my driver could find me. Good people.

Here was my original flights: msp to phx 5:45 - 7:10, phx to pdx 8:10 - 11. Well seeing as I was at the airport a heck of a lot earlier than planned, I immediately went to the counter to see if I could get to Phoenix early at least. I managed to get on a 2pm flight which got me to Phoenix at 4. Still had some time to kill, but nowhere near as bad. When I hit Phoenix I went to the Admirals club near the gate of a 5pm flight. They only had four seats but she put me on the list. No more than 10 minutes later I cleared AND they put through my upgrade all in one shot. SCORE! Not only did I get on a much earlier flight, I still got to have dinner and relax.

When I landed my driver was already waiting as I had managed to text him before leaving. Rolled in at 9. Happy happy days. Unpacked, got stuff together, hung out with B. I came home to a sparkling clean house which was awesome. Plus a gift basket of some candies and a bath bomb hanging on my office door. Nice.

Today I have to do laundry, run some errands, then I leave again at 4:30am on Sunday. Not happy about all that, but it is what it is. I am a little worried about next week. Kansas is a very red state. The area I am going to is very conservative and pro dampnut. This may be a bad move. I am going to have to tread carefully.
