Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

WDW '06, Day 0

Jennifer got us a deal to stay overnight at the Hilton Garden Inn San Leandro, with parking for the length of our trip and a free 10-minute shuttle ride to Oakland airport for our 6:10 flight. We did most of our packing Wednesday evening, left home on schedule at 11:00 and checked in for what would be our shortest hotel stay evar at about 11:30.
When I opened the room door, it felt like opening the oven to pull out a freshly-baked pumkin pie, except without the pie. It was, according to the thermostat on the wall, 95 degrees in the room. The heat had been set to 95 and left on full.
I cranked the A/C, opened the windows the permitted 6" and propped the room door open with one our suitcases. Half an hour later the room was mostly liveable, though the A/C did have a tendency to cycle--loudly and often--to maintain the 70 degree mark I'd set.
Alarms and wake-up calls were set for oh-dark-thirty and seemingly seconds later... to be continued.
