If all goes according to plan, this was our last flight from Kansas City to Oakland. And, it was as if Southwest Airlines knew something special was up. We've made this round-trip flight three or four times a year for the last nine years. And, this trip was different. On our flight to Kansas City, we had just 24 other passengers joining us on the plane. Today, we may have had twice that, but the flight was far from crowded. With room to spread out, we enjoyed the long flight. After four hours, we began our decent. For the first time in nine years, our flight approached the Oakland airport from the north. This unfamiliar but stunning flight plan gave us a sweeping view of the Marin County coast and a "money shot" of the city of San Francisco, the Golden Gate bridge and the bay. It was quite a treat, which made this "last flight" quite memorable.
That's right. For now, we're finished flying. Our next trip to Kansas City will be aboard Bullwinkle. Our family is looking forward to it. So are we!

B&N,
Welcome back to your "temporary" home. It sounds like everything is falling into place...as it should.
All these preparations have a familiar ring to them...like maybe we've been there too. You will be amazed after your departure how fast all this will fade. It will, however, become fodder for wonderful campfire stories!!
Fingers are crossed for a rapid sale of the house.
Da Godfadda...and the Mrs.
