Discount anyone?
Maybe it’s just me but I think that if you check in and out of a hotel in less than six hours there should be a significant discount. Really, I only used 25% of the time I paid for.
The reason for this is that since I’m working for a non-profit I get to do it all for as cheaply as possible. In this case that meant leaving the $179/night hotel in DC for a $89/night hotel in Baltimore since that was where I’m flying out of. (A different airport and airline from where/how I flew in.) I got to the Baltimore hotel at 10pm and checked out at 3:45am for a 4am shuttle to BWI for a 6:45 flight out to Atlanta. (Yep, Baltimore to Denver via Atlanta. Ah, the joys of AirTran.) Now if the Starbucks would just open…
Luggage update:
My little screwdriver has finally bit the dust. The one that’s been in my bag ever since I started this job 6.5 years ago and has survived countless automatic and hand secutiry screenings. This time it was a manual search that pulled it out. I blame the new bag since the old backpack stored it in a much more covered way. (To be perfectly clear, I was not concealing this item. It’s just been there in my bag in plain sight. I’ve just be wondering how long it would take someone to find this little computer screwdriver.)
On a lark I just tried to get a connection here in BWI and I’m in. Turns out they’re using the same “Airpath” service as Des Moines so I’m in and live for the next hour. That should keep me awake until Starbucks opens.
