Saturday, 02/16: [Friday night] Have son drive me to LAX (next to Pacific), Layover in Texas, Long Layover at Miami (next to Atlantic), Layover in Lima (next to Pacific again), Flight to . . . To Be Continued Sunday. I traveled the two equal sides of an isosceles right triangle. 14.3 hours on planes, 10 more getting to and from airplanes. And I’m not done. Next time I’m doing my own reservations. It was a new feeling to fly 5.5 hours and not change time zones.

No pictures. Strange phenomena on flight south. Sitting left side of four seats. To my right a family with 10 year-old daughter. They put the daughter next to me. Across the aisle, two seat rows, family of four. The adults sat together, leaving 5 and 8 year-olds to fend for themselves. Neither action seemed normal from my USA perspective.

Nothing wrong with Avianca Airlines. Houston’s airport is great, though it needs people movers. Miami’s needs to be destroyed by a hurricane and rebuilt.
