On my way!

My ride showed up on time at 1:55am and Dropped me at LAX 1 hour later.
There was a huge line but somehow my 2 giant bags helped me to get near the front of the line thanks to one very nice agent. Even with a last minute weight equalizing move, I was among the first to TSA screening. Surprisingly my carry on was too heavy, and not my tandem and solo wing bags. The nice guy at the counter allowed me to put 5lbs extra in each of my wing bags to lighten my carry on. Cool!. Now I sit at my gate, it's 4:30 am. Still an hour+ before my flight. I love no stress departures like this.
And so far no extra fees for all this stuff. Gotta love international flights!
The flight is nice so far and the USB jack allows my phone to top off on juice. 
 Reds 2 was the perfect movie choice, allowing me to slip off into sleep and rest without worry of missing the plot. French toast with raisins, raspberry yogurt  and a roll would have been plenty for breakfast, but now I am enjoying a warm chicken torta with pineapple-guava nectar to sip with it over lunch. Nice!
A 3 hour layover in Panama will allow me to move around a bit and stretch while switching planes for Cali to arrive at 7:50pm.  There I meet with the rest of the Eagle team and catch a 2 hr van to Roldanillo.  Who knows, I could be in bed by 11:00 if our excitement doesn't keep us up longer.
