Collect the open action items scattered across booking records into
TODO.md, starting with the US$250 nonresident annual pass. Yosemite has
no timed-entry reservation in 2026, and per NPS one nonresident pass
admits the whole vehicle and waives the per-person surcharge at both
parks, so update the parks notes accordingly.
Daly City host sent the check-in instructions on Sep 16: door code,
wifi, entry route, assigned parking and house rules. Add them to the
booking record and the Sep 19-21 address tables. Record the DTLA unit
number from the LA thread and store both message threads as sources.
Save the host's password-protected welcome page (door code, wifi,
local staff numbers, directions, house rules) and the Booking.com
message thread. Put the door code and wifi in the Sep 22-23 address
tables so they are on hand without signal.

settlement, mark Sep 26 as checkout day, and save the Booking.com chat
and modification confirmation as sources.
