Wednesday 28th July 1999 -> LA, CA

A 5-30am rising lead to leaving for Boston’s Logan Airport just after 7am. We arrived at the United terminal around 8-30am.

My bike was charged an horrific US$88 surcharge but I was upgraded! After that, it was wait, loiter and wait until after 11-30 to board the plane.

The plane left late but arrived on time at 3pm. After a bit of wandering, I found Marcia. The airline had told her not to check the bike in until just before the plane left and the cost would be from US$176 to $352! We then left the airport.

We went to a Disney store to try and find a Mickey Mouse poster but had no luck. After that it was to an Irish pub for Jefferies 21st birthday. I had another huge plate of nachos!

We arrived back at the airport about 8-30pm and I checked the bike in. After many, many false starts, the final actual payment was US$60! and the triple was carried away! The crowd did not know what to think!

The plane left about 11pm bound for Auckland with both bikes on board.
