After a wonderful Thanksgiving spent at home with our daughter, we are off to San Diego for the wedding of Christine Hochmuth, daughter of very special friends, Ron and Sue. Earle got all the turkey cut off the bone, leftovers were either frozen or given to Amy for her fridge. She will have some great stir fry meals this week.
Off to PIT for our flight to CLT. We listened to the media reports about long security lines and the need to get to the airport 2 hours ahead of time. We found only 1 person in queue to check in luggage and no one in front of us at TSA pre-approved line. Flight was on time and arrival in Charlotte. A very different situation at that airport. It was packed. Grabbed a bite to eat and then to the Admiral's Club to avoid the hub-bub of the waiting areas.
Flight to SAN left on time and we only encountered a brief spell of turbulence. Talk about bare bones airlines. American takes the cake. We only got a cup of a beverage for the duration of the 5 hour flight. Not a pretzel, not an entire can of soda or juice. And to add to the pleasure of the flight, we got to smell McDonald's, pizza, and sushi from those around us who were enjoying food. Also, no inflight entertainment. Flying is just not fun anymore, at least domestically.
Got to SAN on time, waited an eternity (40 minutes) for the flight's luggage to appear on the carousel. Super Shuttle got us to the hotel in about 15 minutes and we checked in to the Lafayette Hotel and Swim Club. The hotel is historic and the room is very large and very convenient since the wedding is right here.
A beer and and some snacks followed by bed, looking forward to tomorrow!
