All the fun Traci and I had was balanced out by boredom and fatigue today. Her bus home was at 5:00pm, my flight's at 7:20. Yesterday, we thought it would be a good idea to get up early, have breakfast, do something, maybe get more food or drinks, and then leave. Neither of us slept well, and she was ill from having tons of beer last night, but our noon checkouts couldn't be argued with. We hoped to see a movie, but St. Louis doesn't have any theaters downtown. We got bad directions from a guy to a theater we never found, and ended up nearly falling asleep at a Starbucks. We finally decided to kill time by riding Metrolink to the end of the line in Illinois. That was about as interesting as it sounds.

I also ended up at the airport 2 hours early. I think the next time I take a trip, I might go home earlier on the final day. Without the hotel room as a home base, it's suddenly a lot less fun.
