I'm ba-aaack

[cjsmith]

Home safely, around 10 (10:30 at the house) last night. Exhausted. Eleven hours of flying - I can only imagine how tired Rob was. Thank goodness for autopilots.

Am at work now, after doing a bunch of laundry and cleaning up what the cat did. Am now ravenous. I guess maybe I did shift a little toward Central time.

The real bonus we get with a small plane is flexibility.

Aaaaaand, you don't have to deal with airport security! :-)

(Normally it's not bad for us, but the long lines suck. And the first time I went through one of those chemical sensor booths, I went claustrophobic all of a sudden. Came out with the shakes. And then they picked me for a carryon luggage shakedown, which took ten really long minutes as they slowly went through EVERY SINGLE THING in my tightly-packed camera bag.)

'Nuff about that. Welcome back! The only thing I remember about visiting Galveston Beach as a child was big waves and oil clots in the water. :-)

Yes indeed. When we guesstimated jet travel door-to-door times from Galveston we included a generous figure for security. I get picked for the carry-on search very frequently, and there's always an extra delay because these shoes don't come off. Hey! Another advantage to small planes: a LOT less walking! (Getting through an airport means at least a day, sometimes two or three, of pain afterward.)

Thanks! The water wasn't too bad when we were there. I hear it's often got schtuff in it.
