Another Crazy Month!

If Europe to Hawaii and then back to Miami Beach wasn't enough, a recent trip to LA in December threw my life into another orbit. I have now been dislodged from my lazy Miami Beach location into the hustle and bustle of Hollywood. Long story short, I pitched an idea for a travel show that caught the attention of studio and media execs. Not only that, one of my good friends in LA, who happens to be a stylist to the stars, started to introduce me to a few of his clinets.

After x-mas with my family, I went to Las Vegas for a convention then to Portland to visit my dad and pick up a new Audi A5. While I was in Vegas Tichina called me up and told me she had to go to Miami, but she only wanted to fly first class. So the cheapest way I could get her there in first class was to fly with her, using my Executive Platinum status with American. So when Rich and I arrived in Portland (thanks to Alaska Airlines for the complimentary upgrade!), my dad and step-mother picked us up and went to the dealership, then off to the hotel to work and go to bed early since I had an 8am flight to LAX to meet up with Tichina. The next morning I easily made the flight without rushing, but after all of us passengers on the Horizon Air CRJ buckled up and the plane jetted down the runway the pilot aborted the take off! Most of the passengers were scared shitless, but I have been on many aborted take offs and landings in my life so I was not so scared, but rather concerned about meeting up with Tichina at LAX. Within 1 hour Horizon replaced the plane and we were on our way to LAX again.

Four days back home were really nice (Thanks T!)...get your mind out of the gutter, T is my nickname for Tichina. I flew back to LA with T and then on to San Francisco by myself to take the car from Rich as he went to New York to work on a documentary we've been working on for over 1 year now. I drove down to LA to look for a place while negotiating a deal with my investor for my travel show project.
