early flight, rockies, salt ponds

I got the 6:20 AM flight out of Syracuse (Thank you for dropping me off Jon and Christa!!!) to ORD this morning. If you're wondering about the painful departure times, it's because we paid for these flights with mileage, and they were the only flights that we could get.

The flight from chicago to SFO, despite being cramped, was pretty nice because the skies were absolutely clear from the rockies westward, and I had my nose pressed to the window for almost the entire time






And as a Grande Finale, we flew right over the salt flats





spectacular.
