Savin’ da govment some bling
So I decided that my flight from LAX was scheduled to leave at 6:00 A.M. on Friday morning, factoring in the 2:00 hours that I have to be early to the Airport, the fact that I would have to wake up an hour before that to get ready would mean that I would have to get up somewhere around 2:30 in the morning. Given the fact that I would be scared to death of waking up late and missing the plane I wouldn’t actually sleep except the 15 minute stretches between panic sessions and I was doomed not to sleep on Thursday night anyway. So, I decided to bump up my flight and catch the Red-eye from LAX to ATL and then an early morning flight from ATL to HSV. This means since I wasn’t going to sleep at all anyway, I’ll atleast be in the ground in Huntsvegas at 8:00 in the morning instead of 2:00 in the afternoon. So I save a $100/night hotel room and one more day with the rental car. Woot!
On another happier note! I found out today that I have flown enough miles this year with Delta to gain Silver Medallion Status! YAY! Only 25,000 more miles to go to get to Gold. 75,000 to get to Platinum. Gold is possible, platinum probably not. Although I have been flying a lot lately, but you pretty much have to fly cross country every week to get that status.
So anyway, no more boarding zone 11 for me. I’m moving on up baby!
