We just landed in LA. Nice plane ride, got upgrades to first. Yay for big seats!

Huuuge shouts out to the folks taking care of our new doggie, Matty. Already this morning we received this update from Wendy:

“Good morning Tyler & Max! I hope the first leg of your journey is off to a good start. Matty had a fine night. She and Murphy played and played and played until they collapsed. Before bedtime, we had, on the couch (in this order), Willy, snuggled by Julian, Murphy between us, me and then Matty snuggling me. It was pretty sweet. I invited Merlin to join us but he declined. I wonder why. Matty ate about 1/2 of her 1 1/2 cups of kibble with a touch of rice this morning. We found a way to confine the doggies and give Merlin space to come & go, so all was well last night. Matty & Willy slept on their beds and Murphy slept in her (now) usual position on our bed.

All went well this morning – everyone went potty outside twice, ran around the living room once, and got treats before I went to work.

Have fun!”

Here’s our driving itinerary. Why, oh why, does AAA Triptiks online not allow you to specify a “road trip” mode and give it a route to follow? Instead, it expects you to set waypoints, so many that it can’t NOT send you along the route you want. Thank God for Google Maps, which allowed me to drag the route over to Highway 1 and moved it easily and without extra waypoints. I always liked Triptiks better than Google until now … AAA’s online tool needs a serious overhaul to continue to be a value-add for AAA membership.
