So true, but I've spent my fair share of time at airport watering holes, when they're the only port in the storm I'm always happy they're there.

It is well past 5 in LA, around 4 hours or so as of your posting. :). It is sometimes a lot of fun to have a morningcap.

Enjoy your visit.

I've heard it said before that breakfast is the most important drink of the day.

We survived the pub run although do feel a little injured can't help but feel sorry for MCH heading into the city to work. Yep fully I will look into that as the local aa&t shop here had sold out of cheaper phones and really had nothing worth getting for under $79 , add a sim and credit and that a pricey temp phone. We did get a sim for Suzies IPhone as that was unlocked . Seriously weird loo Jay .
Yeah Hank they even got showers and all inside :thumbup:
So went walking down the road and come across a creek with blackberries in full fruit, Bush Tucker man abroad :mrgreen:

May only get the free ones online not sure... but check it out as the samsung one that's 29$ is a decent phone... the other being free for the price of a monthy card ... well can't be beat don't think these phones would not be considered old basic phones compared to the later models...

I think they are on verizon as well ...

FS

If you have the funds the 179$ S5 Samsung is a good phone and it's waterproof compared to the others ...

Yeah FMH that place looks really nice , we'll
see how we go from time as we stayed out at Dulles a day longer than we were gonna. The 36 he trip was pretty brutal and a local couple shout Suzie some Henasy shots that done her in :lol: , I went out yesterday to the air and space museum and that was a trip seeing the actual Enola Gay , discovery shuttle and other craft that made and changed history. I hope I get to see the NRA museum before we head out to DC as it is apparently 5 or 10 from here. Thanks fully for the advise on phones been checking some of them links and they look like the way to go

If you're inside DC ya gotta go to the Maine Avenue fish market and tear into some awesome seafood from the vendors along with a few cold beers. MCH can direct you to a good pub.
