Day 1 Tues.

Brandon and Sophia’s Wedding

La Jolla, California

Day 1 Tues.

We flew from Tampa to Houston and then to San Diego. At Houston Continental overbooked the flight and 30 people got bumped (we were lucky)….they started offering $300 to people to take a later flight…then $400…and finally $500….Austin almost jumped at the money (I was thinking 3 X $500 = $1,500) but it would have put us in a bind for the car rental and hotel rental etc.

They tell us that San Diego Airport is in the Top 10 worst airports to land…something about a 6% descent as oppose to the usually 3% at most airports (Brandon later told us, you have to get a special license to land at San Diego)….great !! Apparently there is a mountain (they call it a “hill”) right in the runways path.

We drive to La Jolla (about 15 mins north of San Diego)….it is true, it is beautiful and about 65 degrees with the rest of the country at 100 !! degrees (Houston was 105)

La Jolla is a nice little sea town with cute shops…we meet Brandon and Sophia for a late burger…and since it is 10 pm pacific time, it is 1 am eastern time…we go to bed.
