The alarm goes off at 0435. Today is our big trip to San Fran to see DLS. Our taxi arrives at 0515. The flights to Cleveland and SF were smooth. We were lucky on the flight to SF to have 1 of the 3 seats in our row empty. Nancy and I took turns stretching out.
At SF we took the monorail to the rental car area and picked up our Dodge Avenger. We walked around the car and noted several bad paint chips and it looked like the side of the car had been keyed. We noted these damages on the provided form. We thought we were suppose to leave the form at a booth on our way out. There was no booth. We headed south but Nancy was worried about the damages to the car so she called Thrifty. They said we had to return the form in person and could not mail it in. We complied and returned the form. What a pain.
We got to DLS's at about 2:30 PM. The first thing we noted were her new wood floors. They look great. We also rode with DLS to the grocery store. I bought some beer.
We had dinner at the Red Robin. I had a salmon burger and Nancy and DLS had the chicken burger. We topped off the evening by going to Yumi Yogurt. Enough said.
The day started with the temperature at 21 degrees. We got to Cleveland and the temperature was still in the 20's with heavy snow on the ground. We had to spend 15 minutes getting the plane de-iced. In SF the sky was blue and the temperature was 70. This change in just 5 hours. My grandparents never flew on an airplane and they would be amazed at the distances we travel in just a few hours. I sometimes wonder what their comments would be if they could see all the changes in the past 40 years.
