The new day dawning is the first in my effort to get home to New York from California with just $50 in my pocket. I have a week to get the cross-country journey done and the clock started ticking on Friday, Oct. 2.
A Little Extra Cash
Guitar Shorty met me in Santa Monica - and gave me a few bucks for the road.
Hitting The Road
Here, I am as I leave Santa Monica on Friday morning.
A Lift Home?
Jason McClain was taking his family to Las Vegas and he gave me a lift - quite literally.
At The Airport
The McClain plane ... before we left Orange County
At The Controls
I flew co-pilot, and during the whole flight, we talked about flying, travel and family.
Along for the Ride
The pilot's daughter, Kayla McClain, spent a good part of the flight to Vegas asleep.
Traffic and Weather?
Who is that good looking guy in the monitor? Here, I am doing traffic for KLAS in Las Vegas.
The City Below
Another view as I worked for my $4 and change for KLAS.
Las Vegas Strp
Producers Robert Laforty and Darrall Johnson arrive in Vegas after driving from Santa Monica pier. Of course, I flew there after bartering with a pilot.
Catching Some Shuteye
Here I am napping on the floor at the CBS affiliate KLAS in Las Vegas after doing a weather hit for them.
Who's the Best Man?
was so happy for the bride and groom. But to be honest, though, I just stopped because I thought they had hors d'oeuvres.
Home Sweet Home
My home for the next five hours as Greg and JackieB runet drive to Flagstaff, Ariz.
We're Family Now
My Winnebago pals - Greg and Jackie!
And the doorman: their pitbull/boxer mix named Dylan!
