Panama Trip (Day 9 - End of Trip!)
Wednesday, January 3: PTY > LAX > SMF
I was up at 4am to do a short workout prior to our 5am airport shuttle departure. Ten other Caravan guests joined us on the early shuttle, and thanks to Mr. E's 1K status with United, our check-in at Copa was very easy, although we weren't able to change our seats to be next to each other during the flight.
Oddly, we weren't able to find any Duty Free shops in the airport, so I could procure any Seco Herrarano to bring home. We did finally manage to locate the Star Alliance Lounge, where we relaxed for about 30 minutes and picked up coffee and snacks prior to the flight. We also got breakfast and a hot snack on the plane during the 6.5 hour journey.
When we landed at LAX, we moved through passport control efficiently thanks to the Mobile Passport App. We retrieved and rechecked our bags through to Sac and then walked quite a long way towards our gate and the United Club. Since we were traveling on an international itinerary, access to the Club was free, and we definitely appreciated the comfortable surroundings as well as the snacks and beverages during our 3-hour layover.
The short flight to Sac was uneventful, and our bags even arrived relatively quickly. The biggest delay was hitting some traffic on I-5 and in downtown Sac during the drive home. Regardless, we made it through the door to reunite with the kitties by about 5:30pm. They definitely scolded us for our absence, despite being very well cared for by their aunts S and N. We unpacked, worked out, went through mail, and got ready to return to work tomorrow.
ยกUn buen viaje, y nos disfrutamos muchos en Panama!
