8AM Mostly packed. Condo mostly cleaned. I am trying load up on patience and serenity for the trip back to cold reality. 3 planes. 37-minute connection at LAX. And 39-minutes at CHI. And American Airlines – my carrier for this trip – has already had a one-hour FAA-mandated total ground stop. So pack extra patience and serenity and hope that all the extra cardio work I have been doing for the past few months pays off.
Going to post this now. Enjoying the last of the superior wifi at the Condo. Then head out to find some breakfast.
