Catalina Island

On September 30th Kerby was able to take me flying!! He had been planning to take me to Catalina Island in California for a while and we finally were able to go. I was so excited to be back in the plane again with him as the pilot. It is really amazing that he is a pilot and that he within a couple of hours we can be in a totally different place in the country.

We left St. George a little later than we wanted, taking off around noon. Its so cool to see St. George that high up. You litterally can see the whole town from one end to the other.

After flying over Las Vegas and entering Califonia, we stopped in the city of Corona at there airport to refuel and stretch our legs.

When we took off from Corona I knew it wouldn't be too long till we were over the ocean and on our way to the island. Then there in the distance was what seemed to be the end of it all. It was so hazy from the polution and nastiness of California that it was all a blur when you looked towards the horizon. The blue from the ocean and the blue from the sky seemed to blend together which made it a little disorienting. Luckily the island was there and soon we were on the ground on the tiny little island.

This is the only part of the trip I do not like. We arrived at the Catalina Airport too late to make the bus down to the town called Avalon. The last bus leaves the airport at 5:00 pm but doesn't come back.... :( So we were only able to visit the old airport and little cafe. But it was still really fun to fly over the town and see the sights.

As we left for our flight home, Kerby wanted to get a really good view of Avalon and what we missed out on. Avalon seriously looked so fun and I really want to go hang out there and really check it out. Kerby and I will definatly be heading back there to complete our little adventure to Catalina.
All and all it was a really fun trip and I was so glad that I got to go and spend some flight time with the hubs ♥
