DAY 0 - As is typically the case when Valerie and I go away for more than a few days, Mushu and Meeko will stay at mom's house
That said, since mom is traveling with us, this is the first time we will be leaving boys under the care of someone other than mom. Hopefully Meeko will be okay.
First time parking at All-Star Parking
Today Mom, Valerie, and I will be flying to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico via United Airlines
We head over to Terminal 6 when we discover that Terminal 7 no longer has a Starbucks
The sun tries to burn through the marine layer
Terminal 6 has a *gasp* Coffee Bean...walking back to Terminal 7 still hungry and lacking caffe
Our United Airbus (A320?) is ready to board

View to the north as our flight emerges from the marine layer. As usual, I am going to have a hard time taking shots without the plane's wing in them.
Santa Catalina Island
We have started our descent, but there is nothing to see here
Approaching Puerto Vallarta
Approaching Puerto Vallarta. Our plane is banking towards Bahía de Banderas (if you look closely, you can see the resorts of Nuevo Vallarta along the bay near the center) Note that we were expecting thunderstorms, so this is a REALLY good sign!
