Wow ~ This morning came early!! Gayle and I are up and getting ready around 3:00 A.M. in order to get on the road by 3:45. Gayle had a flight back to Burbank at 6:00, and my flight to Oakland was at 6:30. We quickly were realizing that maybe we should have left just a little earlier. Traffic wasn't bad, but I couldn't find a gas station anywhere near the rental car place and just didn't have time to keep looking.... I guess it will be $8 a gallon for this trip! Bonus ~ The cool girl at the rental return only charged me for half of what I used, so it came out to $4 a gallon - I was okay with that.
Onward to the airport via the shuttle... This is when we noticed that it was very crowded this morning! We both went our separate ways (different airlines) and just hoped we would get through it all in time. Luggage checked, boarding pass in hand, and I was off to check and see if Gayle made it through her line. She just got done also, so it was off to security..... WOW ~ Extremely long lines!!! Gayle went one way, and myself the other. Luckily she had the short line, and made her flight on final boarding call. I finally made it through, and only had about a ten minute wait before boarding the Green Machine.

| Small and crowded.... |
The flight was not so much fun for me since I was still trying to beat this head cold, and the pressure was extremely intense.
Here is a couple of shots from the plane while in flight.

| California.... After arriving at the airport I grabbed my luggage, called my friend Terry, and went out to wait for him to pick me up. The rest of this day was spent driving out to his house in Livermore, and getting settled in, so that I could get some more rest and try to beat this cold. Thanks for being here to follow me today! The New Year is right around the corner.... Do you have plans yet? Are you doing any resolutions? I would love to hear your input. Oh yeah, we are just days away from Thailand!!! Keep smiling and stay positive ~ Leo |
Small plane, looked like lots of fun, not.
