sleepy.

Things I need to do before Tuesday:

• Go to Costco and buy batteries and film
  
• Buy olives for Patrick
  
• Get a little bottle of sunscreen
  
• Get hairs cut
  
• Refill the shampoo bottle
  
• Help sister unearth suitcases
  
• Clean up my #$*&$#(& room--reprieve
  
• Get packed
  
• Check through everything and make sure I have everything
  
• Panic, and go through luggage one more time making sure I have everything.
  
• write notes for mom -- Patrick's number, authority to sign contracts, authority to poke around in my files.
  
• refill medications
  
• return fellowship form
  
• do blood tests
  
• make appointment with Doc Greene upon return.
  
• Go to scheduled events on Sat and Mon.
  
• ...do anything else that comes up.
  

that should do it.

Oh yeah, anybody got any ideas for what to do during a forced seven hour break at SFO? It's just the last mass transit bus leaves Colma at 11:30 PM, and I have to kill time until my flight leaves at 6:30 in the morning.

One hundred thirty five hours left, and more than 24 of it will be spent traveling. Yay!

And I need to decide whether I want to get on a bus/train at 11 and get down to the bay area earlier (which *does* make for longer travel times) or risk that the Capitol won't be running more than a half hour late and get on a bus at 2:30.

Busy busy busy!

I'd try to be safe rather than sorry when trying to catch a plane. If you can, try to sleep at the airport, even if it means bringing something along to toss over your shoulders and curl up to sleep in a corner.

I was stuck in the airport in Portland for over six hours once. As I remember, there's a lot of drinking coffee, walking around in boredom, and wishing for public internet terminals. ;)

Thats funny, 'cause some of the airports up here (Pearson International in Toronto for sure) *do* have public internet terminals. Rather handy.

Doesn't surprise me, I wanted one because it seemed like such a natural thing to have in an airport. But this was a few years ago, back when "high speed internet" was the university's new 33.6 modem pool. ;)

My favorite thing to do in airports.

Back when I was more of a solo traveler, and, seemingly, less scarey than I look now, I used to make a point of befriending the parents of small, whiny children in airports. Children are often afraid to misbehave in the presense of a stranger (it runs counter to their I-have-to-be-cute-or-you'll-kill-me instinct), and the relief from the parents and the surrounding multitudes is nearly palpable. Besides, I like playing peek-a-boo with babies and quietly subverting the brains of older tots. (Mweh heh.)

Of course, times have changed. And you may not care for children. In which case, I recommend lots of Terry Pratchett. He's ideal for airports.
