Vacation notes

[ordnance11]

On the 3nd day on vacation today. Arrived in Los Angeles on Sunday. I missed the sunny blue sky, even with the smog! Didn't miss the traffic though.
Spent a pleasant first day with my teenaged nieces. Heaven help the boys they will be dating eventually. My brother already has the shotgun out. A brand new experience for me..shopping with the girls in a mega mall. Highly amusing in fact.

That's not a mega-mall - where are the hotels? http://www.wem.ca/?render=html]A real mega-mall has hotels in it, so you don't have to leave before you can visit all the stores.

5-6th day...got into storage and repackaged goods for shipment by parcelpost..hired a minion to help...should had seen the postal service employee's eyes bug out when I told them I had a flatbed full of boxes for shipment. I knew I should printed more stickers.  Their eyes bugged out even more when the boxes took up a big portion of the floor space. Probably the funniest scene was when I was about to lift a heavy box and remembered I hired a minion. I barked out "Hey minion! Come here and lift these boxes over the counter on the scale! This in a room full of customers. *grin*
Spent the night with the tribe and took my leave. Do some more last minute shopping and head for home.

Hope your 'minion' had a sense of humor and played it out. "Yes, Master~!"

Actually, he said "Yes uncle" Neptism does have it's benefits.

Last day..had farewell breakfast with cute girl. Did last minute shopping at a police outfitter for a tactical vest. Should had gotten the open tipped tac gloves with the knuckle joints.

Well last leg coming up....be it ever so crumble, there is no place like home!
Edit: I don't know what is the worst travel experience...being jostled by passengers walking by the aisle while in the aisle seat just as I am going to doze off, or crammed against the window seat by a 350 pound man sitting in the middle seat.
