Day One - Traveling East

No man needs a vacation so much as the person who has just had one. ~Elbert Hubbard

Thursday 9/26/2024 - Away We Go   (Daily Diary)

Our limo driver was here at 2:30 am; Jonny on the spot!! We were packed and ready to go with the checklist checked and double-checked. The limo was loaded, and we were off like a herd of buffalo transversing the 55 to the 91 to the 605 to the 105 and finally into the American Airlines terminal.

We were above the clouds in a flash!

We rose into the morning sky breaking through the clouds in just moments after beginning the takeoff. Catalina and the Santa Monica mountains poked through the cloud cover.
