Rare Saint Greg Posted December 1, 2019 Author #251 Share Posted December 1, 2019 It was quite a hike to the baggage claim. Not much of a wait. My bag was among the first out. I put the duct tape on to make it easily recognizable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted December 1, 2019 Author #252 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I didn’t see any “Saint Greg” signs on my way down...I did see an O’Brien one. So I called the hotel to let them know I needed a shuttle. They needed to know which terminal I was in. I didn’t know so I asked the info desk. Turns out it’s terminal 4. They told me to step outside, take a right to the white tents and wait. It could be up to 45 minutes...let’s hope not. The white tent looks empty but around the corner was about 50 people. I’d say it’s 75 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted December 1, 2019 Author #254 Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) Kids...The girl and boy in front of me...not a peep the whole flight. Girl was reading a book. Boy was coloring. Behind me on the other hand. Oh my. 30 minutes into the flight it stopped for about 15 minutes. Other than that it was constant screaming, yelling, crying. The boy in front of me kept looking back to see what the deal was. Fortunately I can’t sleep on a plane anyway. Once going to London I fell asleep. Other than that. I’ve had 30 hour trips where I got no sleep because I need to lay down. Edited December 1, 2019 by Saint Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted December 1, 2019 Author #257 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Finally my shuttle pulls up. It says comfort suites on it but the guy honks the horn and holds up a Cambria sign. I think he may have been though before but I missed it because it said comfort suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted December 1, 2019 Author #258 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Three people on this shuttle. I think he picked up the other two at another terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted December 1, 2019 Author #259 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I saw another shuttle pulling out with a Cambria sign taped on the side. That’s better than this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted December 1, 2019 Author #260 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I made it to the Cuban restaurant but since I’m here so late I scratched the main course I had planned on ordering because the waiter was really pushing the daily special. I’m guessing that’s something that’ll be easier on the kitchen. I did get the sides I planned on ordering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted December 1, 2019 Author #261 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I guess I got ahead of myself. Check in was great. Room looks great. They got me in on the ground floor. They have two shuttle options for tomorrow. 10 and 12. I went with 10. I’d rather be early than late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted December 1, 2019 Author #262 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I guess I got an accessible room. It happens sometimes with Hotwire. Sometimes they do it just in case I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted December 1, 2019 Author #267 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Rice, Sweet plantains and the other is supposed to be yucca. I’ve never seen yucca but this looks more like their French fries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted December 1, 2019 Author #272 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I felt bad when I came in because I was the only person in here and they close at 11. But like 5 minutes after I ordered was the rush. Four more tables came in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically Irving but practically Las Colinas. I'm flying out of DFW airport this afternoon. This is one of the eastern most In-N-Out Burgers in existence. They have about 20 locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The reason they haven't expanded further is everything here is fresh and any further east would be too far from their distribution centers. They also refuse to sell franchises. They are serious about the quality of their food here. One day at lunch time I pulled into this location and was stopped in the parking lot by an employee who informed me they were closed because the food quality wasn't up to their standards. I appreciated them not selling me a substandard product and had no problem driving an extra five miles to their next closest store. The employees here rival Chick-Fil-A for the friendliest fast food employees I've ever encountered. Maybe it's because their minimum wage is $12. I missed you by a few hours! I’m staying in Irving tonight. My marathon is by Love field in the morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted December 1, 2019 Author #275 Share Posted December 1, 2019 That main course was really good. The empanadas were really good. The sweet plantains were pretty good. I don’t think I’m a big plantain guy though. I’m definitely not a yucca guy. I had a desert planned but it’s not going to happen. I had a lot of food. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
