The story of the day of course is this is the day for our trip to Calif. There are some storms West of us, I hope the flight gets it over with quickly and that we settle down into smooth air. It's going to be a long day with arrival around midnight if everything goes OK (which it didn't).
We left home at 3:30 to go to the airport. This was a half hour earlier and I'm glad we did. The checkin line was long, it took almost 15 minutes to get to the counter. SEcurity was also long but I had TSA pre so I walked straight through without any problems but waited quite a while for Libbie. The flight was full, we had a young college student in the middle seat between us. We landed in Vegas a few minutes early but found our next flight was delayed until 11 PM instead of 9:10. The flight was pretty bumpy but smoothed out a couple of times so that I was able to order Tomato Juice and have some cheese crackers. in Vegas everything was closed except for a pub where we ordered a Chicken Quesadilla with a Sam Adams Boston Lager on tap. The bill was $42 for the beer and one Quesadilla that we split. Waitress was Heather, a tall young reddish blonde who was very nice. The second flight came from Sacramento and was only an hour to LAX but we waited between runways for almost a half hour waiting for a gate. Picked up our Enterprise car, a Dodge Dart, and drove in a light rain down the 405 at 1:30 aM. Made it to Joe's at 2:20 AM Pacific time, very tired.
