San Diego, CA (USA)

[Aircraft Ferry Flight] Rob P. and I got up really early - we wanted to maximize the time on the ground at the end of the day. After departing NAS Cecil Field (0900), we flew west.  We stopped in Oklahoma City on the way (landed at about 1130L) and nearly got burned by the weather! Fortunately, we were airborne again by about 1300L and were able to pick our way through thunderstorms.  When we got to San Diego (1500L), we checked into the Bachelor Quarters at NAS North Island.  Bonus: we were authorized for a rental car (Avis) and, after picking it up (1700), had enough time to drive over to the San Diego Zoo! One of Rob's friends met us there and we had a good time looking around. We went to dinner in Old Town - Mexican. We were supposed to leave tomorrow, but I think that our home base is having trouble getting us tickets...
