In Korean lounge at LAX

Waiting for our 0:55 red-eye to PPT (Papeete, Tahiti) after relaxing in a day room at a nearby hotel and meeting Susan’s friend for lunch in Santa Monica.

The KL lounge is large and mostly updated, with a small food selection (at least at this hour) and an open bar. It looks out (Inc a balcony) over the concourse.

The last 2 photos are an ever-changing 3D-ish video wall in the into terminal (TBIT) .

Chile: in Avianca lounge at SCL airport

JT — Tue, 23 Jun 2015 08:22:14 +0000

After almost 3.5 hours sleep with 3:55 alarm, a 25 minute taxi ride and no lines at exit immigration and security, I can relax for a few minutes.

Not making a cappuccino though, I want to sleep in my Copa biz seat to Panama, where I’ll pop into town on my 6 hour layover.

Interesting that they have brownies out at this hour (they are still setting up the buffet… Highlights inc ham & cheese croissant and a panini press, strawberries and pineapple wedges, and smoked salmon)

And I just noticed an overabundance of power outlets on the bench seats

Chile: Sunset seafood dinner in Valparaiso

Seafood soup with Chilean abalone, shrimp, scallops, Chilean razor clams and conger (fish).

The scallops have a little colorful appendage…

And yes, the water is very cold
