San Diego, CA (USA)

Slept OK in the Navy Gateway Inn but ended up waking up early (not by choice, due to the timezone changes...). Met up with my crew and we left NAS North Island at 0800L.  Great weather again - we could see all the way to the Gulf of California and up to Joshua Tree National Monument!  The Salton Sea was full of water (for once!) and dunes clearly water-logged. Started to sense that weather would be a factor as we approached West Virginia - aircraft stacking up for arrivals into DC and Baltimore. Luckily for us, we got a detour around the traffic and up from the Jersey Shore again - no trouble in Philly. But, we could see the weather coming... On the ground around 1630L - stayed to finish paperwork until around 1830L. Ate dinner in my room at the NAS Willow Grove Navy Lodge and watched the Conference Championship games. Played around on my computer and watched a movie before going to bed.
