Up early, a quick workout and make sure everything is packed properly. The drivers come by and pick us up and we head off to the airport. Security has a field day with my camera bag full of lenses, camera bodies and accessories. Why do they always ask questions like....."Are you a photographer?" I'm serious.... I just looked at her and smiled. Unfortunately the return flight is also American Airlines or "Abuse Airways" as I like to call them. By some miracle the flight departs on time and we head back Stateside. Am reading "Keith Moon Stole My Lipstick" by Judith Wills, a naive country girl who lands a job at a pop magazine in the Swinging 60's and meets all kinds of minor and major music stars of the time. Pretty good read so far.
Get up after a couple of hours into the flight and go for a stroll around the plane to stretch my legs. Go to the back of the plane to get another scotch and find Pilgrim there chatting away to the air crew and getting free drinks.....swine! I've been paying for mine! We connect in Chicago and head onto Nashville where we're picked up and taken to the hotel... Get a bite to eat in the bar and have a drink then call it a night.
