Early in the day, I used the online check-in service that the American Airlines website has for its flyers. I like being able to print out our boarding passes so that, once we arrive at the airport, we can check our luggage in (curbside for $2/each) and head straight to security and our gate. I dropped the kids off at school befire 7:30 AM and then ran errands all morning (tanning, an hour at the gym and a manicure/pedicure appointment). Once the kids were out of school, I worked on last minute packing, list-checking and straightening up around the house. T (my husband) arrived home from work at 3 (only an hour later than he told me he'd be - that's pretty good for him!) and we said goodbye to the cats and left for Los Angeles somewhere between 3:30 and 4 PM.
We love the Renaissance Montura before an early morning flight. They have a great $199 Park-and-Fly package where, for that rate, you get a room on the concierge floor (with access to the fabulous concierge lounge with complimentary breakfast in the morning and appetizers/drinks/deserts later in the day), 7 days of free parking, a car-wash while you're gone and a towncar ride to the airport on the day of your flight! We checked into our room (#10040) at about 6 PM and had a drink and a plate of appetizers in the concierge lounge before heading back to the room for the night in anticipation of our 4 AM wake-up call Friday morning.
