Heading out - Day 1

Nothing exciting.  Lots of traffic getting to the airport.  Cool and misty out - probably similar to Alaska.

Flying coast to coast - Boston to Seattle and then up to Anchorage.   Have to look at a map - but it's probably along a great circle - shortest distance on a sphere.

At least the screaming baby wore herself out.  What a set of lungs!     But got lucky, and have an empty middle seat, and inflight WiFi.   Not feeling too isolated yet.

  1. Wow, you are right on the money with the great circle concept. As you head to the higher latitudes however, the map of choice with shift from a Transverse Mercator Projection to a Lambert Conformal Conic Projection, so be careful up there. Happy travels!
