On the road to our Texas flight today. Grabbed a quick Subway sandwich for the trip. A little bit of rain on the way to the Oakland Airport, but not bad, and only one traffic hangup with road construction at Manteca/I-5. I love the Park'nFly at Oakland--the shuttle picks you up at your car. A quick jaunt to the airport, express check-in with our preprinted boarding pass, and we're off on time.
We had a surprising light flight for the holidays. It caught up with us in the San Diego, though. Loads of people, delayed flights--ours included. Planes late coming in, and then they hold us up to wait for 70 more people from another incoming flight. Southwest, in all fairness, did an admirable job of juggling and keeping too many folks from missing connections. We were delayed an hour, but not a big deal. We weren't waiting for hours getting in and out of Chicago, and we had warm sunshine in San Diego to watch.
We arrived just about 9pm Texas time. Our Jetta Shuttle Service was waiting for us right after we got our quick bags. The driver used her iPhone to locate a restaurant open late enough for dinner on this Sunday night. So we started our Texas stay with Chuy's Tex-Mex--doesn't get better than this.
Our lovely hostess has Christmas lights on her counter, and a pretty little silver tree, with purple ornaments, of all things, tied with silver bows. Finally, tis the season.
