Where in California did you say you're going? I am thrilled that you're getting a vacation too!

We did have a layover problem but I wouldn't call it disastrous. On the way home, our first flight was delayed 2 and a half hours, so we missed the connection. But they got us on a later flight. We didn't get home till 12:30 am (and I was really really tired during that second flight - I can't sleep on airplanes!) but we made it.

I will get around to doing a proper post on the trip soon, I promise.
