Flown south for warmer weather with $5 Spam Musubi from Seattle. I miss the old days when airlines at least provided some sandwiches in domestic flights..

Actually better than expected – although hotel operation is still a bit of mess – checked into not cleaned room, room credit not worked, hotel parking is full so had to park at visitor parking etc.. but nice and clean and still less crowded (easy social distancing) new hotel feel is still there..
