Today was our trip home. So wonderful to be here, but looking forward to being home. So this is titled "From There to Here" and in three photographs I show us crossing the entire United States! This is climbing out from Los Angeles International Airport, headed west over the Pacific ocean. Shortly after this photograph was taken the plane did a 180 degree turn and headed east toward home.
Forty five minutes later we are at cruising altitude heading east over these beautiful cumulus clouds! Later the puffy cumulus would turn into an overcast layer below and we couldn't see the ground.
It boggles my mind, but 4 hours and 20 minutes later we are over New Jersey, looking south and to the left is the tip of Manhattan! 2,100 miles in four hours and twenty minutes! We take it for granted but what a technical marvel traveling by air has become. And what a difference in place and time this second photograph is. The difference is, as they say, "like night and day!" What a wonderful trip home!

Great photos from the plane. The lights of Manhattan and the detailed view are amazing. Love the view of the Pacific Ocean and the sandy seashore too. Glad you and Aunt Kate could get out there for family time. Trace
