This is one humongous airport. We\u2019re heading for the ground transportation, given up on walking there after a while, and we catch the interior airport subway to the end of the terminal.<\/p>\n
Let me tell you, when those train doors open, it\u2019s like rush hour in a New York subway. I\u2019m traveling with my 74 year old mom and I tell her \u2018Better make for that escalator quick, Ma, the train doors are gonna open.\u201d<\/p>\n
Whoosh! She barely has time to look towards the train before the hoard descends upon us.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m picking up a call from Chris Banks, an Empower Network<\/a> compatriot who\u2019s looking for a ride to the Omni Hotel. I manage to hook up with Chris outside \u2013 never met him and he\u2019s an affable fellow. We hop the unmanned airport tram to Hertz. That was a long ride to Hertz\u2026how big is this place?<\/p>\n I get to talking to the Hertz rental agent, who spent small amount of time in Orville California. The name alone tells you all about the town (Breaking news \u2013 They finally built an Applebee\u2019s!). Turns out Chris relocated to Southern California from Orville. Coincidence #1 (using all my restraint not to use the word \u201ccoinkydink\u201d.\u00a0 Just kidding. Track me down and shoot me if I ever use that word in my blog. Just kidding about that too.)<\/p>\n Hertz lady checks us in, tells us she\u2019ll upgrade us for free to a Camry (upgrade from what?) because it has the GPS unit already in it. She directs us to the parking garage stall #270; keys will already be in the car (Toto, we\u2019re not in Los Angeles anymore).<\/p>\n Now I\u2019m embarrassed to say I have no sense of direction; even with the GPS I\u2019m confused so thank God for 74 year old Mumsy and Chris in the back seat. I get us to The Omni in one piece. I\u2019m noticing it\u2019s 8:30 p.m. and the streets are empty. Zombie Apocalypse thoughts run through my head. But being a brave Empower Network affiliate, I brush the thought aside. Empower network is the weapon aganst MLM<\/a> Zombiehood.<\/p>\n Grab some food at the Omni restaurant, yada yada yada. You don\u2019t want to hear about the diet. Had to pass on desert and the humongous bread assortment. Chris\u2019 chicken strip looks like the continent of Africa. Chris\u2019 goal is to safari in Africa. (Send me a postcard Chris. I see enough wild animals on the freeways). Coincidence #2.<\/p>\n Bar lounge is full of people \u2013 definitely not your barflies. The\u2019re all Empower Network people, the spear tip of the 1200 throng about to descend on this hotel (throng, not thong \u2013 focus please).<\/p>\n Coming back through the lounge and chit chat will a few affiliates. Get the Mumsy back to her room for the night, the trooper that she is. I dilly dally around and head back down to the bar. Entrenched in deep discussion until 1 a.m. with an world traveler Ecuadorian Brit named Rob. (Non of the conversation included booze, \u201cbroads\u201d, or beer\u2026or even Empower Network for that matter) The bartender\u2019s mother is moving to Ecuador, and Crystal the bartender will be heading out to stay with her for 6 months. Staying right near Rob\u2019s local. Coincidence #3.<\/p>\n Heading back to my room. Chris is asleep at his Xoom tablet. I try to write my daily blog. It\u2019ll have to wait. I need a bed.<\/p>\n I must be getting old. No offense, Mumsy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is one humongous airport.
