Lubbock to Dallas:

2 “entertainment” lounges containing the word “willie”: “chili willie’s” and “wet willies.” I’m not sure which is more appealing…

“Midnight Rodeo” club in Lubbock – $1 longnecks(?), college ID before 9pm get in free, all sorts of music, and (really) improved security so you can feel safe there – per the radio spot.

haircut – stern lady saying that if I’m not willing to “work with” my hair daily, she can’t in good faith cut it, as no hair will look right unless I work with it.

Mom ambushing at almost 10pm to say hello/rifle through my stuff/ask leading questions/avoid my aunt who is presumably asleep.

Ah, Dallas…

Things seen:

A Hite beer billboard in Arizona
Start of I-40 (sign said Wilmington, NC 2300 (ish) miles)
A marked lack of “Dockside Babes” billboards (perhaps only in the SE?)

So, some may remember the boneheadedness I had last time in Seoul in missing my connecting flight back to UB, and having to live in the airport for an extra two days or so.

This morning I just realized, also in Seoul, that my 11:00 flight is 11:00 AM, not PM. I realized this at 9:00 AM when I woke up. Hopefully I won’t miss it this time.

Off to change money and perhaps shower…

Oh, and by the way, I’m on my way back.

• it costs more to take a shower than to buy a Shanghai Spicy Chicken Sandwich meal at McDonald’s.  And they want to leave earlier than the posted hours.Suggestion for next time – the shower is free, it’s the kit – namely, a Mongolia-sized (Bonnie knows what this means) towel and toiletries – that costs the money.  So bring a little travel towel and bar soap and you’ll be home free in theory.

• Free wifi just about everywhere…Voltage and plug shape adapters are available for free at the info desks if you leave with them your boarding pass or a form of non-passport ID.Next time, give em the ID so you know when your flight actually leaves

• Super comfy couches upstairs in the “rest and relax” area as well as internet stations that are sparsely populated.  If you get in by 10ish you can get quite a nice setup, though a bit cool aircon-wise.Next time, use that travel towel you’re bringing anyway for warmth perhaps.
