Here I go.... I'm spending the night at the Hyatt Place hotel near the Charlotte, NC airport. My flight leaves at 7 am tomorrow! So I didn't want to make any of my family and friends get up super early to drive me 30+ minutes to the airport. I've had to quickly research baggage and carry on restrictions as I haven't flown in a while. Most airlines have the same charges - $25 for the first bag, $35 for the second bag and a 50 lb weight limit on each. I'm hoping my bags are not overweight, but I have a sneaking suspicion that they are. I'll report on that later. Delta has a restriction on fluids for checked bags which I thought was interesting. You can't check anything that is more than 16 oz each and no more than 70 oz total.
So, 5 AM shuttle to the airport, 7 AM flight to Cincinnati and then a connecting flight to San Francisco. I'll be there at 1:30 pm California time, which is 3 hours behind EST. Grabbing a rental car at the airport and then have to find my way to the extended stay hotel in Oakland. The company has assured me that it's 9 1/2 miles from the hospital. I don't have to start work until Thursday morning, so I've got some time to settle in and find my way around. Stay tuned!
Boring alert: For those of you who are interested, here is some information I found out about Extended stay hotels, never having stayed at one before. The biggest question was about housekeeping. Apparently they offer a weekly cleaning and refreshing of supplies when you book for longer than 7 days. As for the rest I copied this from a web site:
