Amtrak confiscated my beer for the journey. Just teased me by keeping it out on their desk.
Didn't make my flight!
Sep 19

A certain taxi company, LONG BEACH TAXI specifically, did not pick me up as planned at the Metro Blue Line Station so I got closed out of the only flight to Seattle. F$#&! They sent the cab driver to the Wardlow Bar instead of Wardlow Station. 7am in the morning and I would be at a bar????

Convinced Jet Blue to book me on the morning flight to Portland, then was able to catch the Amtrak from Portland to Vancouver. Didn't get to Vancouver until 11pm, instead of 5pm.

Amtrak ride was nice though.

All in cost me $105 bucks for the screw up.

They Blew it. In fact, avoid Long Beach Airport altogether unless you are going to/from by car or limo.
