Rosa has taken many flights from Northern CA to KSMO to receive treatment for a cochlear implant. I've flown her and her mother twice. This trip, the Doctors confirmed she is able to hear.

Catalina airport is the airport in the sky. Completed in 1946, the runway was built by blasting away the tops of two mountains and using 200,000 truckloads of rock to fill the gaps between them. Great hike!!

The final leg from Sedona to Santa Monica was not for the faint of heart. It seemed to start out just fine, the wind was still pushing us to a slow crawl, the sun was setting and ahead the clouds were moving over Santa Monica.

As Colin puts it, “bring your A game when landing in Sedona.” Not only for the fact that you can plummet off the runway or into one of the stunning red rocks, but there’s a very popular restaurant there, where folks watch every landing and every take off. That’d be embarrassing.

One windy place. I can fly through a lot of conditions, but turbulence is my least favorite.

Tumbleweed rolled toward us as we landed here. There are many stories relating to The Wizard of Oz in Liberal KS, such as, Dorothy’s house is located off Pancake road.

Known as Mid-Continent. Good news if you are a glass half full person, as you’re ½ way across the United States

Escaped snowy Michigan, landing in Vandalia Indiana. I totally have forgotten how to drive at this point, so Justin hopped in the retired patrol car and drove us to Jenn’s BBQ, home of the pulled pork sandwich.
