Back In Murrieta, CA!

Yesterday was traveling day.  We managed to pack all four suitcases and the carry-ons in Evan's car and headed for Logan for our first flight to Denver with a 3 hour lay-over.

On the Mass Pike in Boston
We flew Southwest and the fight was uneventful.  As usual, we both "opted-out" of the automatic scanners and chose the "Homeland Security Pat Down".  The fight to Denver was long, but we both managed to sleep little.  This is unusual for me, I usually can't sleep on planes.  We had plenty of time for dinner in Denver, watched TV.  The airport had free WiFi.so we were able to watch"The Daily Show" on my Xoom.    We landed right on time in Ontario at 9:40pm and Debbie was there pick us up with our Element.  By the time we dropped her off and got to the condo is was 12:00 midnight.  Our bodies told us it 3:00am Eastern Time. We were sleepy. We put the kielbasa away in the fridge and hit the pillows.

We woke up mid-morning when the sun came into our bedroom. The kielbasa made it alright but it appears that Homeland security was curious about it as they opened the suitcase with the kielbasa and also the one with my CPAP machine and the Christmas Cookie Shooter machine.  The left little notice inside our suitcases informing us that they "broke in" to our personal belonging.  How Nice of them!
The TSA Baggage Inspection Notice
My guess is that the dogs smelled the kielbasa and went crazy, and my CPAP machine has wireless transmitter that could be mistaken for a detonator.  Who knows!

Anyway, we got here safely with all our luggage (and kielbasa) and are now recuperating from the day of traveling.
The Kielbasa made the journey just fine!

Today is "un-packing day" and its warm outside: 98 degrees!
