Pretty scary building site!

Was there about two weeks ago, Bazz. Huge construction site, it is. Viewed it from the North complex as we were landing.

Overall LAX seems busier than ever to me, though those who are accustomed to LHR will perhaps find it "peaceful" by comparison.[:p]
And Terminal 2 (where VS departs) is still a huge hall with people everywhere.

Chuck-

I will be there myself in 93 days or so my countdown timer tells me.
