Encinitas, CA (1,001 miles)

We met up with our good friend, Bill Ivers, in at D Street Grill and Pub. Ate some fantastic food and had wonderful conversation. It was great hanging out with a friend while we are on the road. We understand why Bill picked Encinitas to live. The town is beautiful and we have not met a nicer group of people in a long time.

One last shot at all of our paperwork, our final travel shots and we headed to LAX for our 1:40am flight. Everyone in the world seems to know what we just learned. LAX is a junk airport. Avoid it if given the chance. The guard at the security check said he felt sorry for people that flew out of LAX.

We agree with him.
