Sharon and Robert's Excellent Adventure
In celebration of Robert's birthday, Sharon and Robert rented a Cessna from Monarch Air and flew to South Padre Island. We stopped first in College Station (KCLL). We fueled up and then enjoyed a moonlight tour of the Laguna Madre along the southern coast of Texsa. We landed in Brownsville (KBRO) -- but late. Apparently after 8:00pm you can't expect the rental car outlets to stay open in this small (yet international) airport. Robert noted that this airport is locked up tighter than most other airports. Perhaps this is a border effect? Fortunately, we were able to get past the barbed wire (a subject for another day).
Saturday at the beach was fun and in the 70s. We hunted for souvenirs and went on a dolphin watching cruise, which was an excellent vantage point for Sharon capturing the sunset on film.
Taking off on Sunday, we found that the wind had grown strong (17-19 knots) -- but fortunately aligned with the only operating runway. We refueled at the neatest little airport just East of New Braunfels (KBAZ). And then it was back to Dallas. Robert was directed to fly over Love field (KLUV) and, coincidentally, over his new office.
Sharon was heard to say afterward, "It's like a three-hour roller coaster ride."
