We haven’t flown since 1989 so we found security very different. Ron was x-rayed and patted down, then finally had to remove his belt to get through. We sat out in the sunshine waiting for our flight by 2 painted Big Horn Sheep, a charity benefit, like the Orcas and Spirit Bears that B.C. did in the past.
We flew straight east over CA and AZ, a long stretch of desolate brown sand, finally seeing some black rocky hills. Next came
N Mex, Colorado and Kansas. We saw hundreds of perfectly symmetrical large circles, colored planted fields of geometric patterns, sunset beyond the clouds, then snow in Illinois. If you double click on the picture, it enlarges and you can see the circles better. We landed at Chicago, O’Hare beside Lake Michigan, nearly in Canada. We had a 1 hour layover to grab a sandwich, as nothing is served on planes anymore. Next was a 4 hour flight over the states and the Atlantic Ocean. Approaching Puerto Rico at 11:30 p.m., we saw orange street lights, green runway lights, plus white ones from the houses, making it sparkle like the jewel of the Caribbean they say it is. We cabbed to our hotel and were thankful for such an easy travel day.
