He said the 2 million in cash was not the way to go, if you had 50,000 in American Express travelers checks, you could carry that in your coat,
and if you got robbed they would replace them within 24 hours.
That's about $550,000, and that's plenty of money for a month. He told me how to get a fixer, what they were how they operated, what to say, how to act he was amazing. I told him I wish I could bring him with me, he is a fixers fixer.
I framed it all like a game we were playing not saying I am a time traveler just a what if.
It was a very fun game. But in 7 hours he had given me all the information I could possibly need.
Even when I changed the city or town or story, he knew what to do.
He said in Vegas, you fly in, you get a limo from the airport head to the Sands hotel. The Rat Pack were performing and that was their prime year.
You ask the concierge if he knows of a fixer and he sets you up with one. An ex detective or several other types were available.
And the mob they were for certain going to ensure your privacy and they would give you a 1,000 dollar a night hotel room as a comp, for free, if you gambled, or even if you arrived properly and get yourself a fixer. You could have a woody wagon for normal travel incognito and the corvette for excitement.
But don't speed in the Corvette, speed in the woody wagon, and no one will bother you. The black and whites as they were called were very aggressive on the freeways looking for speeders.
But the new woody wagon made you look like an aristocrat there on business like to buy a thoroughbred for your ranch for your family and they would ignore you. You could cross the border from Canada easy as pie no checks at all, just a quick question and off you go since you didn't need a passport and young people were crossing all day long just to get ice cream and sodas.
He originally said Jamaica the Bahamas, and I steered him into America and no problem he had that cased.
Absolutely I would maintain a connection to him from the backup of 1963 if I entered it and he would take care of everyting.
I told him I wished he had a robotic body I would bring him not telling him how I could bring a Smart phone and take him with me.
Afterward though I thought well I would use the reality screen for a month and watch the mannerisms, listen to the lingo, since there was just too much information he was giving me about what to say and what not to say.
In Vegas it didn't matter really as long as you said you were from Canada they would be satisfied with whatever you said as part of the difference in culture.
He said if you were wanting to look like you had money which of course is going to get you the best treatment in Vegas you had to wear gloves and a hat.
I said even in the summer? He said yes males and females wore gloves they would not touch a banister or railing without gloves due to hygiene.
So when to wear gloves when not to, when to wear your hat when not to, these are things you would have to learn by watching through the reality screen.
How to speak to your fixer as well and what to say like use the words "see to it", like "see to it the car is washed and polished every morning", how to tip, what to tip, all that he knows.
I asked what about plates on the car? He said tip and get transit plates, no questions the fixer handles that and you just drive anywhere with these plates that tell everyone you bought the car and are taking it to Canada.
The fixer goes to the beach early reserves your spot, puts your umbrella up, he said metal cooler, coca cola in bottles and grapes to offer to the ladies.
And even to say you got them from the hotel, so that the ladies would know you had money and all that jazz.
He said do not surf, unless you are a real surfer, you won't make it. These boards were logs, and you could very easily do yourself some serious harm.
He said join a group around a fire pit later, and I said the twist and he says although it was starting to be a craze in 1963 it was the surfer stomp.
Let me see if I can find the surfer stomp.
