Hitched OW and got a ride with a friend for return.
Always praying for delayed baggage.

Bus there, was too darn cold so we bailed and took the train back.
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Did you have any traffic?

Group charter bus.

Did the buses have a hard time (as in traffic) getting into the lot?

Not really. We got there at about 11:30, so traffic was quite light. Really smooth coming and going.

Drove with four paying passengers. Prepaid for parking via Ticketmaster but didn’t get the VIP benefits. Chatted with Ticketmaster to ask for partial refund; ended up giving me full refund.  8)

I called Ticketmaster to let them know, and was told to just keep it.

No, I meant your passengers money. Bad joke.

Asked a shaalah about that as well. Since I was anyway making a few dollars, there’s nothing wrong if I made a few more.
