Southern California



We flew to SNA (Orange County airport) Saturday to visit Clayton for a week at BIOLA University, where he is a freshman in the Music Conservatory.  We were going to drive but then Alaska Airlines had a GREAT fare using FF miles and so, even renting a car, we will save about $400 of traveling costs – not to say the driving hours.  
      We came two days early in order to see our friends who just moved to San Jancinto …the inland more desert area vs the more coastal California area.  Then we drove to La Mirada today around noon (to avoid the traffic) in order to see Clayton this evening during his band practice.  We met the band director and saw a fabulous rehearsal!
       Joan was very concerned about driving in LA; all we hear about is how bad the traffic is.  Then our friends noted that the TV shows so many accidents caused by people coming up the wrong way on ramps.  Oops! 
     But driving over to La Mirada today, we had no problems.  We watched the traffic on the iPhone map and took some surface roads in some places.
