(Travel back to California; posted January 5th, 2009 from San Jose)

Today is mainly a travel day.  I get up before L’ which gives me time to do some last minute packing and check in with the family back east.  While I’m checking the news on the computer, L’ gradually moves around on the king bed until she is stretched diagonally across it.  She’s shorter than I am, yet somehow “needs” the whole bed (not to mention the whole blanket).  

We check out of the hotel, fill up the car, and get to the airport.  We have time to get a horribly over priced lunch at the airport ($15 for a tiny pizza, garden burger, and soda!?) so we’re not grumpy for the flight.  After our final agriculture screening, we board the flight to SFO (why would I have fruit with me?  Clearly, they don’t know me, unless rasinets are now officially considered fruit). 

Our fantastic Hawaii trip now becomes a cherished memory and our whirlwind, over booked lives resume all too soon.

Mahalo for reading about our adventure.
