Coronado, CA (USA)

I slept in this morning, since I didn't have to be at the hangar for the usual exam... After checking out of the Navy Lodge, I visited the Subway to get something for the road.  At around that time, I realized that the Altima's gas tank wasn't actually filled.  That was strange, since it was full last night - I had to put another $10 in the car to have it show full again (0855). I've enjoyed driving the car, but I'm convinced that with fuel prices at $4.25 (plus) for a gallon, it would still be difficult to make ends meet in California, even with a hybrid. After returning the rental car to Base Operations, I headed back to meet up with the team.  However, they weren't ready to go until around 1100L. Fortunately, we departed almost on schedule. The flight back to Texas was uneventful (just had to dodge a little weather). Arrived in Fort Worth by 1600L. It took a little bit of work to get my loot to the car... Home by 1730L. If that is my last Navy trip, I couldn't have asked for a better one!
