California: San Jose Airport and the flight to Boston

Written by Stephen Baines

Sorry, very short and to the point. I'll let the pictures tell the story I got up bright and early, though a little nervy and sad. I got the car packed and made my way to Hertz to drop off the car and explain why it no longer has a wing mirror - I'm starting to think I've my own stalker! So I filled the car with petrol and said goodbye to Neverlast. Then I filled in the exciting form at San Jose Airport - "who hit you?" I don't know! I checked in with very little hassle, and settled down for the wait for the flight. Soon enough the flight was called, and this time I was ready for the journey - newspapers, books and CDs ready in case of Lucy. I was very daring and had a window seat, closed my eyes and hoped... We did take off! The mountains were beautiful, the desert, the plains... I guess if I could sort the takeoff & landing I could quite enjoy it. It's now 9pm and we are approaching Boston. Lucy was on... CDs saved the day! The sunset on the plane is awesome - then again, as you've seen this last 2 weeks, I'm easily pleased.
