So, this was my last time in the Flagship Lounge at LAX for a while. I’ve never thought of it as being that special, but it has turned in to my base on this trip - I’ve been in to this lounge/airport 4 times now in just a few days. So I’ve grown a little fond of it.

I had set my alarm for 8am - fat chance of staying asleep until then! Woke at 5:30am and decided to get back on line - always seems loads to catch up on!

I had an hour or so in the AA Flagship Lounge before heading to Gate 48B for my flight to HNL. Whilst I was in the lounge I had to taste the Clam Chowder which I adore, and it was very good.

I spent about an hour and a half in the Admiral’s Club at Gate D30, before I realised I needed to get all the way back to Gate D4 for my flight. I spent all of that time updating FT and my blog, so nothing exciting to report.

It felt Iike I hadn't been here very long, before I was already heading back, which of course was factly correct, but I had enjoyed the short time I had had in San Juan.

So Filthy Monkey and I worked out a plan to meet up (very) briefly at Gate D50 just before I boarded my flight. In order to help identify him (and me) I made a simple sign.
