The photos along with the written detail is amazing. Years ago, I could handle this type of schedule. Now I've gotten to the point that I'd rather fly the evening before rather than getting up at 0 dark 30 and having a full day ahead (and admittedly, I have the luxury to do so).
Curious as to the low parking costs at LAX. Economy parking at DCA and IAD is $15/day with shuttles few and far between.
