Out-of-town note #1 - Departing MAL

Good morning from Palm Beach.

Pool was rolling from our hotel at 6:35am, just as the sun rose over Palm Beach. Some lovely pastel pinks reflected in the water.

Prior to departure we witnessed AP approach, be turned away, then retreat into Schr�dinger's pool duty, here and not here at the same time. Their ban remains.

After screening at a Mar-a-Lago parking lot, we pulled up to stage outside the club at 7:04am.

Motorcade is now rolling from MAL at 8:09am.
