home again. nice and easy flight on Southwest Airlines, just under three hours. we were early even with the extra 10 minutes of flying over LAX, over the ocean and then circling back around for a "second try". apparently we were "too high" on the first landing "attempt". i think i was able to take a few good photos of the Santa Monica coastline, Hollywood Hills, downtown LA as we circled around. the ride to the airport was uneventful but there is a lot of traffic in San Antonio around 830a. not so much traffic on my bus ride home. now i think i will have a sandwich and then walk to the beach on this summer-like Inauguration Day.more with photos from my trip later.
