From Temperate to Tropical

2010LArose

Thanks to Case and Maude, we had a wonderful lay-over in Los Angeles on our long journey from Ohio, to Thailand.

We left Columbus in the middle of another winter storm, after being de-iced.

And to get to spend a few hours in the California warm sunshine, with
a visit to the horse, and a few hours of frolicking in the sun. It was heavenly!

And then...we hoppped on our last, long leg of the trip. I gulped when
I heard the captain announce that we were in for a 17.5 hour direct flight.
Thinking about that still makes me gulp!

But we made it...all in one piece, and quite uneventful, actually.
Seventeen hours seemed to stretch out like a never-ending tale.
After three airplane meals, multiple movies, several hours of sleep,
games, stories, and back scratches, we landed in what Claire declared as...

Paradise.

She's right. How lucky we are to be in paradise for a few weeks...bathing in warm sunshine.
