# TODO Open items before and during the trip. Tick and date when done. ## Before departure (Sep 19/20) - [x] **Buy the US$250 nonresident annual pass** — purchased 2026-09-22. Recreation.gov order `0897664684-1`; valid 2026-09-22 through 2027-09-30. The pass holder must be in the car with photo ID at every gate. - [ ] **Confirm the accounting payer for the US$250 pass** before adding it to [`expenses.md`](expenses.md). The receipt identifies Visa ending in `3924`, but not the accounting party; do not infer the payer from the card suffix. - [ ] **Print the pass PDF** after purchase and carry the physical copy. An unstaffed entrance requires a physical pass or printed PDF to be displayed. Ask the ranger for a physical pass at the first staffed entry. - [ ] **KT: complete the LA DTLA online check-in form** — [Hostaway portal](https://guest-portal.hostaway.com/65596088/dxYlP4ov/check-in).
