Update on Trips

I thought I would update the readers on my so-called motorcycle trip.  As you know, I was planning on riding my motorcycle to Omaha, however in looking at the long-range weather report, it showed rain for four of the days that I was to be in Omaha, so I decided to fly there.  I am glad I did since it rained hard on Monday and rained on and off from Tuesday to Thursday.

I was scheduled to fly home on Friday evening, but my business was done quicker than I thought, so I went to the airport to fly standby since the agent on the phone indicated there were plenty of seats available.  You guessed it, another flight was delayed which caused all of the seats for the day to get filled up.

I decided to rent a car and make a quick trip up to Sioux Falls, SD and really enjoyed seeing that part of the country.  My father was from northern South Dakota and I had never really seen this part of the state.  I got back to the airport, dropped off the car, and checked in for my flight.  You guessed it again, the plane had “mechanical issues” and since I could not make my connection to Spokane, I got to spend another night in Omaha.

The good thing is that they bumped me to First Class and the trip home on Saturday had no issues.

Now, I am getting ready to drive to Los Angeles and was planning on taking my bike (shown in the picture), however, as I look out the window, rain is imminent and the weather forecast calls for rain today, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.  Needless to say, I am driving a car down.

I actually hope to get a good ride in when I know there is no rain.  My bike is fun to drive, but it does not like the rain (or maybe I should say the driver does not like the rain).
