While I was getting my passport renewed I did a little bit of hub-turning - the first domestic legs for me since last June.

Did an Orlando, then a Las Vegas. The hotels sucked, there was nowhere to eat in Vegas without a cab/train ride, got my ass pinched by a crack-ho walking to the strip because I'm too cheap to pay $9 for the train round-trip. BOTH of the showers didn't have enough cold water. My catering out of Vegas consisted of frozen waffles (on a no-oven plane)that were still frozen because the rampies put the dry ice on top of the boxes and just left them on the counter for me to schlep up the steps (any Jap in Narita would be dismembered for that - much loss of face.....)

Got my passport back - you guys can have this domestic sh!t. I don't leave my driveway anymore for less than a 4 star hotel and some rampers that know how to run a station. 777: throw me in that briar patch!
