Saturday, March 19th: Flying All Day
I am writing this while on the flight from San Francisco to Seattle, using my Palm Tungsten C. This flight is only half full, which makes it delightful. The soft sounds collection on United is pretty good. Andre Feriante's guitar piece "For Elyse" is exceptional.
San Francisco was pleasantly cool and gently rainy. Seeing Chris and Rene again was awesome, even if far too briefly. Meeting Rachel at 15 months of age was great too, what a cutie. Had excellent Thai food from Marnee Thai in Sunset.
Yesterday, getting out of Dulles was, as usual, horrible. Spring Break crowds made United's typical disorganization even worse than usual and the line to go through security seemed to have no clear beginning. Then the flight to San Francisco was packed full and way too warm. Even my new ventilated travel shirt from TravelSmith was of no help. We were very glad to get out of the worst designed airport (Dulles) in America and then off the plane.
We had picked up souvenirs from the new National Museum of the American Indian to take to Japan as gifts, then carefully wrapped them in fancy paper: but TSA unwrapped two of them (pocket books) when they inspected our bags. We'll have to re-wrap in Tokyo, so much for being prepared.
