Coming Soon - California

We arrived in California this afternoon for a short family/friend vacation. More on that adventure when we get back next week. In the meantime, I would just like to point out that Northwest Airlines does not actually land at the San Jose airport (contrary to what our ticket said).

It landed somewhere out in Timbuktu. Then we were herded into a long narrow line under a tarp. This line seemed to lengthen as we walked through it. That may have been due in part to the absurdly slow walkers ahead of us. Or it may have been due to my desperate need for a restroom.

Once we finally reached the end of our journey from the Timbuktu tarmac to the airport, we had to wade our way through about 12 million people. Incredibly, they all seemed elderly and reliant on wheelchairs, walkers, and canes to get around. Inevitably, there was also an enormous lines in the women's bathroom.

In short, should you fly into what they say is San Jose, suck it up and use the plane lavatory before you get off.
