Now, If Only It Works

I reckon that I need to set my alarm for 2:30 AM if I want to be on the 4:30 AM train out of Fremont BART on the way to Oakland airport and eventually to MARCON. There's no point in going any earlier because the AirBART buses don't start running until 5 AM; I'll be on the first one of the day. I've purchased a five-day BART parking pass. I figured that the $25 parking was about the same as taxi fare both ways, and I worry about taxis being able to find my apartment, so for $25 I get peace of mind about getting to/from BART.

This means that if I want anywhere near a good night's sleep, I need to go to bed in the next hour or so -- roughly six hours earlier than I usually go to sleep. OTOH, I often get sleepy just about this time of day, so maybe it will work for me.

The flight is at 6:25 AM. I also will be leaving my house at 4 AM, to catch a 4:30 AM train to a 5:00 AM shuttle bus, probably arriving at the airport slightly more than an hour before my flight. This is cutting things closer than I would like, but for those early-morning flights it doesn't do any good to arrive any earlier anyway because the counter isn't open. A 2:30 AM alarm allows me enough time to check my e-mail, shower, and have breakfast before I have to get going over to BART.
