Get up at 430am on Friday to be at the airport at 530am for a 720am flight to St Louis MO. Arrive in StL at 330pm if no mishaps along the way, like in the DFW airport. Fingers crossed....
Then drive the 35 minutes to my hotel in south St Louis. Check and unpack. Trying not to accumulate 5 room keys in one weekend. I'll get a quick snack and drive to an indoor shooting range not far from there to get some trigger time in. I'll keep going south to the Pear Tree Inn on Drury Lane (sounds like a nursery rhyme in that) for early registration and check in for Saturday's match.
After checking in I'll go out to steak dinner with some of my southern IDPA friends. The trip back to the hotel and some dry fire practice and capped off with a long hot shower. Maybe some benadryl to sleep if I'm nervous.
Saturday is up at 7am for a light breakfast and drive to the match. The match is from 830am till 6pm. I'm going to be squadded with folks I've only met on the internet or at other matches, so cool times meeting new friends again. Hopefully me and my new trophy will then be having a huge bbq dinner at Bandana's BBQ House in Arnold MO.(already went to their web page) This evening too will end with a long hot shower and falling asleep to the hotel tv.
Sunday up at 6am and off to the airport. Fingers crossed again I get an employee who knows what to do when I'm flying with a gun. I'll miss the Arch, the Mastodon sight and whatever else St Louis would of had to offer. But if I get a trophy it will all be worth it.
