Still, the physics and logistics involved with a single flight are astounding. Getting back from San Francisco was a tiny flight compared to many. Still, that I could travel so much faster than in a car is pretty amazing. And automotive travel compared to the power of human legs is already pretty remarkable. Don't listen to folks who talk about the good, old days. There may be a lot of really old ones but they weren't that great for most of us.
Monday Morning
To think, we didn't get off the ground until 5:40 PM yesterday but were comfortably soaking in our own hot tub before 9:30. It was only that long as we decided that taking the SkyTrain to downtown Vancouver and then coming out here to New Westminster on another line is preferable to the trusted #100 bus. Just getting from Richmond to New Westminster took one hour and ten minutes. Getting from SF0 to YVR was only 35% longer than that!
