There is also the matter of getting to the airport, as I planned to take an Uber.

Yes, I could have talked to the front desk at the hotel and had them call a cab, and pay for that with a credit card. And then also do something like that when I got home to get back to my house.

It’s a lot of extra steps and extra expense. Last time I took a cab from the airport it was almost 5x the price of an Uber, and I had to listen to the cab driver talk shit about Uber the whole time.
