Story of my $200 LA Cab ride............;)
 

had an early flight out this morning, up at 4 am, got in about 2......:winkwink:
Catch a cab to the airport just about to pull in to the departures lane at the airport, when I get this sinking feeling............. OH SHIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTT......
I forgot my passort and about 500cdn in the hotel safe. This Revelation comes to me at about 5.20 am ....... 7 am flight.
So back we go to the hotel. The original cab drivers shift is over so he cant take me back, he calls one of his buddies, while I run to the front desk get another key made, pick up the passport and the $, they transfer the luggage to the other cab.
So back we go towards the airport, try to get on the highway, only to find it blocked by a recent accident, but by this time we are at the bottom of the ramp.
I persuade the cabby to back up on the ramp dodging oncoming trafic:Oh crap We go a different route, he's doing 85-90mph zigzagging in n out of traffic.
We got back to the airport at about 6.25 am rushed tru check in and security and here I am writing this post:thumbsup

Cab Ride to airport $ 60
Return Trip to hotel $60
Trip from hotel Back to airport $80
Being able to post this from home........ PRICELESS:thumbsup :thumbsup

Hahaha that is an awesome Priceless story lol

Glad you made it back on time!

Well atleast you made it bro

At least you made your flight. Great seeing you, and thanks for the use of your shower.

Pics are uploaded, I will get the descriptions out before day's end.

The only time I pay that much in a cab is when having sex in the back...

At least your excursion is tax deductable.

Only you could've talked the guy into going up an off ramp against oncoming traffic.

You da man JFK!

you had a good driver to get you there fast :thumbsup

Unfortunately NOT............otherwise my cost may have been higher:1orglaugh

sounds like you gave the cab driver some good head... hopefully it wasnt too stinky... those LA cabdrivers tend to smell bad....

Ah, I feel your pain Jules.

I have done that before.

At LEAST 3 times.

;-)

Actually , NO.......... he was waiting for YOU to show up, your reputation for giving head to LA cab drivers preceeds you:Graucho

The stupid thing is, I always do a walk around in the room prior to leaving to make sure I dont forget anything. What tricked me is the safe is usually in the closet, this time they hid it in the entertainment unit:disgust It never occured to me to check there for forgotten items:helpme

I tried changing my flight to Burbank for the trip home, but the flights and times available weren't good. Coming from LAX on weds it took 2 hours with the car service I got. The service this morning with little traffic took under 40 minutes. Was a pleasant trip in the car and through the airport all went nice and smooth.

JFK..... seems you always have problems getting to the airport.....

best yet.........

good to see the passport & cash were still there :)

Yeah NO Shit........... good thing they dont clean rooms 24/7 as soon as you check out:winkwink:

thats some skilled cabbie work..lots of cabbies woulda bee like fuck it

well, i thought was only an LA rumor, but apparently it has spread coast to coast...:1orglaugh

OMG Sweetie! When we saw you arrive back at the hotel we didn't think you were gonna make that flight. So glad you are home safe and sound :winkwink: It was great seeing you at the show:)

Wow tough morning - I saw you getting in the cab this morning --- glad you made it home... can't wait to see the shots you got for us....:thumbsup

Brain Farts can be bad. Glad you made it!

Pleasure seeing you as well:thumbsup

there is no place like home, especially after this trip

Definitely one of the best flicks I've ever seen.
If you enjoyed that, grab a copy of 'Chicago Cab' [Hellcab i beleive in the US]

Glad you made it home safely Julius, we didn't make it this year so we'll be combing through each and every pic thanks to your presence.

My pleasure, really appreciate you taking the time to do so:thumbsup
