Lehner Philip N. 1964 Journal July 10 Awoke to a hot day in Washington after a hot night at a Pacific Project party. Arose at 7:00 A.M. and had finished packing by 7:40. Checked out of the Vivian Hotel with a goodbye snear from madame "blondie" who gives the place the air of a brothel. Took a taxi to the S.I. where everybody was gloriously happy to see that I was finally leaving. Left S.I. about 10:00 A.M., took a taxi to K Street Station, weighed in all my excess baggage, took the bus to Friendship Airport; found a seat on the great metal bird, and prepared to be moved about across the map. Above details: left the S.I. at 10:20 A.M. and took a taxi to Airline Dispatch (12+K); had 22 lbs. overweight luggage; caught the bus and arrived at Friendship at 11:25; departed at 12:00 by United DC-8 for Chicago (Red Carpet Service - good bourbon). Arrived at O'Hare at 12:30 without incident; flight 111 to L.A. was canceled - had to take flight 107 at 4:15 (spent layover in cocktail lounge - kept receipts); left O'Hare at 4:15 by DC-8 for L.A. - flew at 35-39,000 ft, 30% cloud cover throughout the flight; had a beautiful view all the way including the Grand Canyon - took 3 or 4 pictures; stewardess's very friendly, but not going on to Honolulu - they must work seven years with the airlines before they got that hop; departed L.A. by DC-8 at 6:20 - nothing but clouds all the way to Hawaii - (over)
