Narrative:

My instructor requested his students to finish up somewhere else due to his work schedule at this time. So I drove to another airport and set up with another instructor for my preparation for the check ride. This new instructor looked at my logbook and stated I needed an endorsement to fly over from my home airport. I told the instructor I would get the endorsement and go ahead and get my plane annual since it was coming due and then I would fly back over for my preparation. About 4 weeks went by without flying before I got my plane in the shop for an annual. 3 days later, I got in touch with my previous instructor to inform him of the pending endorsement I needed for the other airport/instruction.
