J&GMcLean:
Off to Long Beach...(flight #1) first leg of our big adventure! (I do love to fly :-)...and Santa Clara Valley is looking nice and green right now, don't you think?)
J&GMcLean:
At the Georgian Hotel in Santa Monica. We met a really nice Scottish couple...they just celebrated their 20th anniversary. They also got married on the Queen Mary.
J&GMcLean:
Flight #2...LA to San Jose Costa Rica. Business Class = slightly bigger seats, that's about it.
J&GMcLean:
I don't think our pilots were old enough to drive. It was a bumpy ride....but we made it. (Just kidding...they did great...though the flight was super bumpy! They said that's common in dry season.)
J&GMcLean:
Wee atrium in libelula...open to trees above. I'm outside having some orange juice and visited by monkeys and birds!
J&GMcLean:
My eating companion at the buccaneers...this was the baby...about 18 inches in length! (The momma was more shy...about a metre!)
