I lucked out and was able to change my ticket home. Tomorrow I travel to Frankfurt and then Frankfurt LA. Since I get in late in the day on Tuesday and I'm sure my jet lag will be great, I'm staying overnight in LA and then driving home early Wednesday morning. I forgot to fill up the gas tank so I'm in for price shock the first thing then probably grocery store shock the second thing. Today I had work to do so the day has passed by fast and I'm ready to be home but not for the 16 hours of flight plus the transit time. Tomorrow I'll get into the airport zone and it won't be an issue. I'm hoping for some good movies and I have my back-up book just in case.

Fast forward to 6 weeks ago and the Covid restrictions, flight schedules, and hotel prices made me give up. Changing the flight to Vienna would result in penalties and possibly fare increases so I made the best of it and thought, where can I go in Austria where I've never been? Innsbruck, hmm. Can I get a free flight from Vienna? Yes! Can I get a free hotel room? Yes. Check! The city is picture perfect though. Nestled in a valley between two mountain ranges, it's green, colorful, and everything you could want a place to be when the purpose is total work decompression. No major sightseeing, no expectations. You, a city and a view. It's walkable and small. You've got to look up, left and right,
