T-Minus Twenty One Hours and SIXTEEN MINUTES AHHHHHHHHHH

They changed my flights!! Boo. Now I leave late on the ninth, so I still get to do everything except stay in the hotel for an extra night. And now I get a twelve hour wait at LAX, since I already booked my flight from LAX to SFO. Ah, well. I might see if they can get me on an earlier flight, but of course, my luggage might not get on that earlier flight. On the bright side, my shiny United credit card gets me a trip to the fancy lounge, so that's probably where I will spend my travel day.

 

Weather! I only bothered checking LA for this weekend today, since...well, since it is LA. But I might actually get rain on Sunday! This is what I get for not checking. It should be really nice on Saturday, though, and no problems for leaving on Monday. Newark should be clear for my connection, so that is good as well. But what about Israel?

 

 

The mid-trip rain is gone, replaced with rain the day I arrive. Well, I won't be going anywhere super exciting that day, so it can rain. But it still looks good! This is all because I got a rain poncho, isn't it?

 

I'll post my itinerary tomorrow. EEEEEE!! I am very excited!!
