Open items before and during the trip. Tick and date when done.

Before departure (Sep 19/20)

  • 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. 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. Entry code is activated only after it's submitted.
  • MS: assign Air Canada seats for the YVR ↔ SFO flights. See flights-ms.md.
  • MS: move today's SIXT pickup after the flight delay — completed; booking 9739014160 now shows 2:00 PM PDT pickup and 2026-10-05 1:30 PM PDT return.
  • MS: have SIXT add LK as a permitted driver in writing before LK drives, for ICBC RoadStar coverage. AmEx covers LK as a secondary driver whether or not she is listed; the active rental agreement currently lists MS only.
  • LK: confirm Budget LAX pickup/return location and price — itinerary 73544810702403. Hertz cancellation refund also TBC.
  • Brand Plaza Glendale room, price and payment TBC.
  • Oct 3 overnight stop on the drive back to SFO — not yet chosen.

Money
