To my delight, I was on a Boeing 777 coming home, a flight I'd never done before. These planes have a wonderful feature called A Map. You can see exactly what you are flying over, and it makes a huge difference.

Looking down at the snow-covered Rockies and the White Mountain range which splits Nevada off from Utah, a dreamland of sugar powder and rock, I was glad to not have ridden here this time. Don and I did consider it, but with so much else going on in our lives, decided to tackle one giant adventure at a time.

Crossing into California, we flew right over Yosemite and I saw Half Dome for the first time. Even more exciting was flying over the Lick Observatory and seeing the squiggledy wonderful biker road up there–something I intend to do for the first time before we leave. It is absolutely beyond words to see these things from the air.

The vast San Joaquin valley.
