Yeah I got baggage! So what?!

SeaTac Airport. About an hour before departure. I spent most of the day cleaning and packing, went out for a fantastic lunch with Chelsea, where she convinced me that it was better to pack drunk so that I could easily leave things behind. Well whadda ya know, she was right! It also got easier when it became utterly clear that there wasn't enough room for a snail to take a shit in the two bags I have. They are both packed to the brink. I wasn't worried though about weight, as homeslice Deltaman over the phone told me the weight limit was 70 pounds. Easy to stay under that, no? Well.......

Turns out it's 52 pounds. $50 overweight bag fee. Swell. If only I didn't have the 10 pounds of bread flour I'm bringing to Dave. Cept I can't even blame it on that, cuz the flour was in the other bag. Que Sera. At least they didn't confiscate my peanut butter at security. They did give it a long hard look though.

So it's off to JFK for the night. I arrive there at 6am and then take off for Santo Domingo at 10am. Arrive in SD around 2pm tomorrow.

Happy Summer!
