Turns out that the original travel plan got a bit modified – we’ll meet up in Dallas on the planned date and get on the road trip. I just got an opportunity to suffer the jet lag in California beforehand. Wonder if the Californian Cherry Coke will help. Started the journey around 04:15… and it is 16:30 (plus 10 hours timezone shift)…

First leg of flight – Helsinki-Amsterdam with KLM didn’t start promisingly: After doing the check-in with the automate – there was 40 minutes (sic!) queue to _baggage drop_. Unbelievable. Luckily I was well on time on airport – and the security was quick.
