Coronado, CA (USA)
I'd thought that the Andrews AFB trip would be my last with the CFLSW Inspection Team but I got asked to go again (to help train my replacement). Of course, I agreed - I love traveling and this trip was to San Diego! This morning, I worked a little bit in my office before heading over to meet the plane. Once onboard, the flight to California was OK (we just encountered some rain). We landed in NAS North Island at around 1500L and we all went over to pick up our rental cars. For the first time, I got a Nissan Altima Hybrid (from Hertz) - this should be interesting... Bill picked me up and we went to visit HQ (JR, Ski, Fish) - lots of networking and job discussion. Eventually ended up at the Navy Lodge - my lodging for the week (on the beach!). It was actually unusually cold and wet... I changed and then went to the Coronado Brewing Company for dinner with Todd - we got some souvenir glasses (ended up forgetting them in the end...). About halfway through the meal, Bobby (!) came in with his crew. We ended up hanging out with them until quite late and didn't get back to my room around 2300L. Before I went to bed, I unpacked.
