Geo: 39.7669, -86.1499Indianapolis International Airport4:00-6:00 a.m.Dad drove me down to Indy after waking up at 2:00 a.m.. However, that was after going to bed at 6 pm the previous evening and the waking up at 10 pm. Then, I laid in bed trying to get back to sleep by reading a book and watching Robot Chicken at midnight. Finally fell asleep but was woken up again by a text message from a friend in CA who forgot the 3 hour difference. I said goodby to Dad at the curb and went to stand in line for 30 minutes to check in. I haven't flown on United for over 10 years. What a mess of a company it has become. One group of people had been waiting since 3:30 to check in after being delayed overnight in ... read more

Geo: 40.7524, -86.0681June 13, 20104:07 a.m.Joplin, MOI slept pretty good. I did sleep in an extra half hour than I planned. Magge has done well this trip. She did not hide once and even was on the bed this morning to make it easy for me to put her in the car. I can't count how many times over the past 15 years when Magge (and sometimes Calle) would hide behind the hotel room's beds. If I didn't keep Magge in the restroom, I would have to spend 10-20 minutes digging her out from behind or under the beds. Once she even got herself stuck underneath the mattress frame. I had to take apart the whole bed to get to her. Old age has finally mellowed her.Kum & Go Gas Station: 8.614 gallons X $2.459= $21.18 ... read more

He was wearing only his pants and smoking in a nonsmoking building! So I backed out of my parking spot and went back to the front desk to change my room. Ordered pizza from Papa John for $16.54 and watched TV for about an hour. Then tried to go online. I could access my email but nothing else, so I went to bed to read a book for about an hour.... read more
