6.020 packing

Saturday 12/21/2024

My main activity today was fussing with travel arrangements. I booked a Lyft to pick me up at 9am — that should give me ample time to be bored before a 12:40 departure. I checked in to the flight with the nice Alaska phone app, stowing the boarding pass in my Apple Wallet. I decided what to wear or the next 6 days and packed my wee little bag which fits under the seat. No big achievement, I used the same bag when I did the ten-day Greek Islands trip back in oh my gosh 5 years ago.

Made a surprising discovery. When I went to Seattle and Port Townsend just over a year ago (September ’23), on return, I couldn’t find the keychain with my Prius key fob. I had carried it because it had my apartment key, and I thought I must have somehow left it in the rental car. I had to get a replacement apartment key and mailbox key. I had a spare Prius fob which I started using.

So today, probing around in a crack at the bottom of a side pocket of my bag, my fingers found a lump — the missing keychain and fob! The fob battery was dead, but I replaced it and now I have two Prius keys as before, and spares for my apartment and mailbox.
