Falmouth, MA (USA)

Had a chance to take a plane to Cape Cod this weekend - and got to try something new. Wanted to fly into Otis Air Force Base, but ran into lots of snags (no fuel available, field closures, etc.). Eventually got the Coast Guard to buy off on letting us park there if we had enough fuel to get home. Had a student with me (Nate) who grew up a few towns away from me - he was really happy to try the trip. Got all the training done on legs from Meridian to Shaw (South Carolina) to Dover (Delaware) to Quonset State. The weather was awesome - could see all of Narraganset Bay and across Buzzards Bay to the Cape. Took our time flying over and landed right on schedule. Nate's dad was waiting and, in the course of meeting him, I learned that he and my dad went to high school together! That was something! My dad arrived soon after and those two talked for a bit. Before departing Camp Edwards (1615L), I got a room for two nights at their CBQ (only $10, per night, due to "substandard quarters rules").  Eventually, we were all on our way... Had cookout at home and then went out to see some of my friends. Bed pretty late.
