Off to Denver Again

Our first sale contract fell thru when the buyer's bank preapproval turned out to be not worth the paper it was printed on.  We immediately went back into contract with a more solid buyer and all contingencies have been removed, so this one looks like it's a go.  So Mrs. SFO777 and I are headed back to Denver, this time to look for an apartment to rent for a year, while we figure where we want to buy or build, and for the market to cool down or crash.  With only few ridiculously priced SNA-DEN flights ($1,000+ one way First... LOL), we're off to LAX where competition produces many more flights at reasonble $200 one way First prices.  Unlike a few weeks ago, today LAX was overrun with passengers as Garages 3, 4 and 5 were full or at least advertised as full.

Today we are flying Delta departing from Gate 141 in the Bradley Terminal.  Still pretty dead here.

No one ahead of us in the PreCheck lanes.

One of the benefits of departing from TBIT is the Amex Centurion Lounge.

Unforunately, it was still closed but offering a grab and go food bag.

Then off to our gate in a dead TBIT.

Mrs. SFO777 across the aisle in her two seat "suite".   While Covid-era Delta doesn't serve any real food on domestic flights, they do block the seat next to you if you wish.  

And despite four other couple in First, apparently we were the only ones that knew this or at least took advantage of it.

Delta's lunch offering today... sparing no expense for First Class passengers.  

All of the US3 have gone cheap and serve only plastic disposal cups.  Apparently environmental wokeness takes a back seat to saving pennies.  Older and occasionally wiser, I now travel with a DIY tumbler. 

On the other hand, so glad we stopped at the Centurion Lounge for our Amex grab-and-go lunch.

Mrs. SFO777 enjoyed the crispy chicken wrap, while I tried the sweet potato wrap.  It was actually OK. 

We both agreed that the Amex grab-and-go cookies were fablous. 

More pretty scenery on the way to Denver.

And back on the ground, arriving 20 minutes early in the A concourse.

So much for social distancing.

And lovely DIA construction.

Since it was downright frigid (by SoCal standards), I offered to take the bus to our rental car and come back to pick up the Princess.

Not bad for $28 a day with my Presidents Club upgrade.
