Meeting The General

Flying into LA as darkness fell was all a little surreal, a feeling that stayed with me right up till now as I drink my morning coffee watching CNN. Arriving into LA was smooth, so nothing to report there! Our only worry was when we went to pick up 'The General" our travel companion for our trip. As we were booking into pick up The General we were told he was no where to be seen and we would have to take a lower ranking model. Disappointed?? Dam Straight!! Not only have we made plans for The General but I also named the blog after him. The whole trip was about to start on a downer. But wait, and hang on for a few minutes the lady behind the counter said, cars are coming in all the time. You may get lucky!

We went to section F and waited, tiredness was effecting patience. Faith was wavering and I.....I was looking after the bags. Where had Steve gone??  My blurry eyes scanning the dark ranks of the full size cars. Then there in the distance I see him talking to someone, arms waving around and pointing. Then he starts heading back over to me. Then Behind him out of the darkness a red menacing shape appears and pulls up beside me. It's The General! the team is complete and the adventure can begin!

But first we must sleep so we travel to the Rodeway Inn and become acquainted with The General.
