Back from California

Ah, the wonders of Jet Lag. Ok... here is a list of random thoughts... 1) Seats have gotten smaller in then 5 years since I flew. 2) I still fit with no extender. 3) "Road food" is something I should have researched before I left- my diet was horrible. 4) You have to keep your vitamins in their original containers for the flights- even though they would have fit better in ziplock bags. Baggies of pills just look too illegal. 5) I was expecting Dorota's sand to get "collected" by the air authorities, but I guess a bottle of powder just isn't that suspicious... 6) Red eye flights are aptly named. 7) It's true: now I need another vacation to recover from this one. 8) Plenty of pictures of the Pacific Ocean and Sequoia National Forest for anyone who is interested. (email me). Dave

Welcome home dave,glad to hear you made it back safetly,geeze...I lost 20lbs since youve been gone..(NOW THERES A GOOD THOUGHT.Lol.)..Cyndee

Hi Dave! Welcome back!

The space between rows also got smaller. No matter what I weigh, it's always.... interesting. I hope sand and white powders look different. If not, time for new glasses! I'll see the pictures at the store. Welcome back. Peter

Hey Dave, Can't wait to get my California Sand...... You remembered! Please e-mail me your ocean picture again, I lost it when I started downloading it and my computer went down.... YOu you soon, welcome home...

Welcome home Dave! I'd love to see some more pictures. California is on my list of places I need to see! Tammy

Hi Dave, Glad you're back. Hope you enjoyed your trip. We'll be trekking out to the San Francisco with the family (mother in law in tow too) in late Aug. My first time flying since 1997. We'll be flying from Bradley to Atlanta to SFO...oh fun with an 8 and 6 year old. BUT, I can't wait to feel the west coast sun shine on my face again...and to see the sequoia trees reaching up to the sky. Awesome. Maybe a few sips of NAPA wine! It'll probably be a better flight for me with weight gone too. I've never needed an extender, but if I had flown in the last 8 years, would definately have needed one! Rest up and return to East coast time... Thanks for the thumbs up on the vits in bottles tip. I dont' think they'd like me to put my protein powder in individual zip lock baggies either! It's SO white! They'll think it's some new "sweet tasting" drug! Paula

Hey Dave, Welcome back, glad to hear you had a great trip. I would love to see your photos too. Sounds like a beautiful area you went to. Glad to hear you enjoyed yourself. Take care KimC

Certainly... just sent your email address to [email protected]

What a great trip you must of had. I can't wait for the time I go on my next trip, not to have to ask for the belt extender will be wonderful. SherL
