Day 393: January 28, 2016

Diary entry:

Flight day.

Up way too early, around 5AM, but luckily I was already fully packed, and just had to shower, dress, and grab my bags and pop into the car for an hour drive up to the airport. I was there before any of the Amsterdam rush hour traffic started, relaxing in the KLM lounge before my first meeting of the day would have been scheduled to begin.

An uneventful flight. Even in an aisle with two people inside from me, I never was bothered with them needing to go past. And I do even make a point of asking before I plan to close my eyes or anything. I managed to grab a couple hours of sleep, which did help.

A little.

Got to do some running around the LA area with Erin’s father, picking up their dogs and some Mexican food for dinner.

But in the end, by 8PM, I was seriously hitting the wall (it was 5AM again for me!) and had a very tough Domue Droop until finally throwing in the towel at 10PM. Not bad, since tomorrow’s an early day.

The Beer:

28-Jan-2016: Horchata Porter by Ensenada Brewing Co. (Old Mission Brewery). Eating good Mexican food for dinner with Erin and her parents. We had these Mexican beers that Erin had picked up during her road trip. Dark and chocolate base Porter with lots of horchata spices. Quite a tasty beer, especially with a nice Mexican dinner. 4.6% ABV. #ottbeerdiary

Day 266: September 23, 2015

Diary entry:

If I thought yesterday was long, today was even worse! Had a 4AM wake-up to get to Schiphol in time to pick up Erin, who was arriving back from the US today.

And then direct to the office in time for my first 9AM meeting, and a full day of meetings thereafter.  I’m out the next two days, so stayed later to get caught up before leaving today. Tomorrow is yet another very early morning as we fly from Weeze airport before 7AM!

Need to head to sleep ASAP to prepare. Dismaland tomorrow, so excited!
