<07/03/2008> SAN FERNANDO, CA--Welcome back to another installment of Michael Rodriguez's Guide to Eateries, Restaurants, and Other Places of Note. In this series we will be visiting scenic Detroit, MI. On top of finding what Detroit has to offer in the ways of food, fun, and entertainment, I might try to squeeze in a little bit of bowling each day...
In all seriousness, though, it is Thursday night, and we at the Rodriguez House are running final systems checks before we embark to the East. All the bowling balls have, hopefully, already arrived in Detroit, all our luggage is packed, our CDs burned, and our heads buzzing with excitement as another year at Junior Gold is about to begin. We leave LAX around 8:30 or so, which means that with security and checking our bags, we need to be at the Flyaway by 6:00 to catch the 6:15 bus. Those of you who have been following my blogs the last few years will notice that this falls into the time known as "morning," the scary time of day immediately following the sun's rise during which it is best to sleep to avoid the sun's blinding rays. I will, however, be up, not necessarily awake, moving from one stop to the next until we get on the airplane with Leif and his dad, Cory (flying solo), and the Irs to join us. Zoe has decided to be benevolent and leave the Princess Movies at home, but has decided she is bringing Gremlins and Little Mermaid. Aside from movies, I can forecast a few rounds of cards, some reading, and the occasional nap. By the time we arrive, it will be more than time to grab food, and so I will definitely report on that when the time comes.
