San Antonio, TX 14 Nov. 2009. I'm waiting to be picked up by a friend of mine in San Antonio, TX. He texted me to say that he is on his way and will be here in twenty minutes.

A very quick visit to Charleston, WV (CRW)
Houston, TX 10 Oct. 2009. I would rather be heading to the beaches of Oahu, but the flights are full this weekend. Instead I started to look down the list of cities that Continental serves and found that Asheville, NC (AVL) was not available, but Charleston, WV (CRW) was.
