Checked into our San Francisco hotel, Le Meridien. We have a nice view from our room of the Transamerica Pyramid, an iconic building of the San Fran skyline.

Wheels down in Chicago

Wheels up in Providence at TF Green Airport. We were allowed to follow along with the flight deck on United with our headsets. Took off in a thunderstorm, still not sure how we didn't hit turbulence...we also heard the pilot didn't know either. What an awesome experience to be able to hear the conversation between our pilot and air traffic control. Good day. Kubel, out :)
