Change In Plans

I don't have time to deal with huge long stupid airport security lines & checking & then having to pick up my measly carry-on luggage at baggage claim today and again o'morrow. So...I'm DRIVING to the Bay Area and back rather than flying. Leaving as soon as I've showered, dressed, and re-packed the liquids & gels (toothpaste, shampoo, lipstick) into my bag. Will get back o'morrow afternoon whenever w/a bit of time to rest before driving to Big Bear. Luckily I had the car all gone over yesterday so it's ready to go NOW. Luckily I got [livejournal.com profile] ebony_sphynx on the phone before she'd gotten to far on her drive to get me to take me to LAX. What DID we do pre-cell-phone?!

Okay, I'm done being aggro about this and have moved onto to being highly amused. Oh, yeah, best call my step-sis to let her know (a) I won't be able to have lunch w/her even if her 1pm meeting's cancelled and (b) I won't need to borrow her car for tonight. Wheeeeeeee & soon: zooooooooooom!

I must say, what bad timing on their part to try to mess up flights for us...because it's all about us, right? *wink*
Have a fun drive anyhow, it could be pretty. Thanks for the call...and I must agree: what did we do pre-cell phone??? I guess we had more ulcers and migraines, neh?

nah, we just scheduled farther in advance and gave ourselves more buffer zone.

Have fun!!!


(This is making me so glad we decided to drive instead of fly in the first place...)

So, you mean to say, that before cell phones you had to plan to leave the Valley *2* hours before you needed to be on the West Side rather than 1 hour???? Sheesh! All hail cell phone technology!!! Here's to spontenaity and last-minute plan changes!
