You know, I've been checking into this Alaska thing a little further.
The flight time out there is about seven and a half hours, and I think probably a better plan, when you work out this road to Taiwan, and then to Seattle anyway, Saturday to Seattle, and
Spend the night there, and then fly on up to Anchorage the next day, Sunday.
Then it's only a two-hour flight up to Anchorage from up there.
Seven and a half hours is probably too long, because actually we'll be getting in late, so we need to make a little bit of adjustment on the time.
Well, on the way out, I have to do something in Montana.
I might stop in an airport stop in Montana.
So it would be a decent deal to start out and hop in in Montana and spend the night in Seattle.
Saturday, you see.
Oh, on Saturday, you see.
That's Monday.
No, I took the two of them.
Do you want to look?
No, I didn't.
Yeah.
Well, you told me you're going.
Well...
But we were planning to do what I was planning to do in order to kill all two birds with one stone, was let them fly from Anchorage and to a media branch in San Francisco.
So either way, it's all right.
I think you ought to plan not to go to the dinner.
Fair enough.
If you want to get back, we can.
No, I don't think you should try to get back.
No, we won't.
Come back, we would, well, we would fly out of Anchorage.
I just told him, you should do it.
I told him, you should do it.
I told him, you should do it.
I told him, you should do it.
I told him, you should do it.
I told him, you should do it.
I don't think we should go that early anyway.
We should go, but I think we would have come in late.
If you left at 12, you don't want to get in, you could get in late.
Get in late, man.
But I would because of the event.
You made a hell of an effort to get there.
That's my point.
This is the question.
We were in town.
We came in late, but you've gone clear across the country.
They don't know very well what you're doing.
I have no argument.
You should.
It's no problem.
Yeah, well, you could be in it, so we could make that up.
That would not be too much of a problem.
Let me go check and see.
But anyway, all right.
If you're told, Amar, we'll work it out.
All right.
