We booked the same LAX to LIR Delta flight departing Friday, February 2, late evening. I was to pick up a s-w-e-e-t swaggy wagon from Carlsbad airport Thursday night. I got to the rental counter, got the key, then got to the parking lot. I got in the car and could not find a key slot. Hmmm. Look, there’s a start button. I pressed it and it said ‘use the key fob’. The key fob didn’t have a button to start it. Giving up, I flag down a lot worker. Walking over to the auto he says, ‘well, that a Chrysler car and the key is a Toyota’.

| Chrysler. Didn't like the color anyway. |
I’m sure that happens all the time.

| S-w-a-g-g-y!!!! |
Friday night we met at Roberto’s in Del Mar to load the swaggy wagon then we drive to LAX.
Travel time is about 2 hours. Sweet when using the HOF lane!
Everyone is doing carry-on except for me so I tell them I will catch up to them after dealing with the luggage line. The usual beer and nosh and we board for the red-eye. Our Gypsy Cab was waiting for us at LIR, and we dropped off our luggage at Casa de Paz at 11:30am. Then on the Kaya Sol for lunch. Then time to pick up my surfboard, get Roberto/Jefe into rental surfboards, and a late afternoon surf session.
Daily surf sessions began at the crack of dawn. Roberto and Jefe were out the door before dawn. I would follow about half an hour later, after a small breakfast and hydration. Sometimes there would be a later afternoon session but always ending so we had time for sunset with Kathy and Holly.
And Holly discovered that Gin-and-Tonics went well with sunsets!
