Back from our trip south. There is a new airline serving Monterey - Expressjet - and it has non-stop service to Ontario and San Diego at reasonable fares. We decided to avoid the 1000 mile round trip drive and give the new carrier a try. It was wonderful. One hour gate to gate, and very comfortable. The jets are small, but do seat about 60 people, and there is more leg room than on your average transcontinental (or intercontinental, for that matter) flight. We were able to spend more time with family and less time on the road, and were not at all fatigued from the journey.
We spent the first and last nights with my wife's mom and step-dad, with the middle night at her sister's new house in Fallbrook. It was a very pleasant trip indeed.
One of the reasons we really wanted to go was to see my wife's grandmother, who recently moved into an assisted living facility at the age of 94. Her grandfather passed away last year. The facility is very nice, and Louise has a beautiful view of the park and San Diego bay. She seems to be doing quite well, and we were fortunate enough to see her on two occasions. First, at her new abode, and second, for lunch at the Coronado Golf Course club house, which was really quite good - again, with an absolutely gorgeous view.
