Story of my $200 LA Cab ride............;)

had an early flight out this morning, up at 4 am, got in about 2......
Catch a cab to the airport just about to pull in to the departures lane at the airport, when I get this sinking feeling............. OH SHIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTT......
I forgot my passort and about 500cdn in the hotel safe. This Revelation comes to me at about 5.20 am ....... 7 am flight.
So back we go to the hotel. The original cab drivers shift is over so he cant take me back, he calls one of his buddies, while I run to the front desk get another key made, pick up the passport and the $, they transfer the luggage to the other cab.
So back we go towards the airport, try to get on the highway, only to find it blocked by a recent accident, but by this time we are at the bottom of the ramp.
I persuade the cabby to back up on the ramp dodging oncoming trafic We go a different route, he's doing 85-90mph zigzagging in n out of traffic.
We got back to the airport at about 6.25 am rushed tru check in and security and here I am writing this post

Cab Ride to airport $ 60
Return Trip to hotel $60
Trip from hotel Back to airport $80
Being able to post this from home........ PRICELESS
