San Antoino TX, Nov 13

Traveling by air can be uncomfortable or downright irritating.  Fortunately, our experience yesterday proved just the opposite. 
Anderson Island is a place where neighbors help neighbors.  We posted a comment a few weeks ago and our neighbor, Dave Albertson, offered us a ride to the airport.  It is quite a drive and we really appreciate his generosity.
Alaska Airlines now has a direct flight from Seattle to San Antonio.  This is a big deal, because our previous flights always had poor connections via Dallas, Houston or even more obscure routes.  Leaving Sea-Tac a bit late, we landed our fully loaded 737 less than four hours later.  This was a perfectly smooth and flawless flight.  Kudos to Alaska.
We were met at the airport by John's sister, Susan and her husband, Carl.  We checked into a nearby hotel and had a nice meal at a neighborhood Thai restaurant.  The weather in San Antonio has taken a turn to the cool side and we actually had to wear the sweaters we had packed for the Northwest.
We will see what the rest of the week will bring.
