Today was the travel day.  Our gracious chauffeur (Sam) dropped us off at LAX with complimentary chocolate milk.   Good thing too – because we wouldn’t eat again for about eight hours. 

When we got to our hotel and tried to get in our cards wouldn’t work.  The attendant placed us in an adjacent room with new cards.  Here is dad looking sour after travelling all morning and not being able to get into our room:

After getting into the adjacent room we headed off to the nearest Mexican restaurant – Las Fuentes. 

While dad watched the Emerald Bowl I tried to drive mom to some christmas light community event.  It turned out that the traffic was so terrible we turned around.  On the way back we bought some Ben & Jerry’s to watch the second half of the game with.  Unfortunately we couldn’t get back in the door.  Dad let us in but then had to go to the front office yet again to exchange cards.  Stay tuned to see if our cards work tomorrow…..
