Despite the hellishly long day in L.A. For a Day, I got a decent amount of sleep.  I awoke around 4:15am, showered, dressed, and checked out of the hotel.  Hopped the free shuttle five minutes later and in about twenty I was at LAX, checking in.  My day back was going to be long: Los Angeles to Miami, Miami to San Juan, San Juan to St. Croix.  And it was wrought with opportunities for connections to go awry.  But it didn’t.  I arrived back in St. Croix after 8pm Atlantic Time, having departed Los Angeles at 6am Pacific Time.  Thankfully, I was able to withdraw cash at a branch of Bank of America the day prior, so I grabbed a St. Croix taxi back to the courthouse, jumped in my rental Jeep and drove home.

I was never happier to see my own bed—even if it’s only been mine for just twenty days now.

Total black is down because of my branch bank withdrawal.  Total red has stayed about the same.  For now.
