Naples to CT

	Sunday January 26th, 2003. Anke's granddaughter Nina and Mom Kendra came over for a visit. Nina is a very photogenic 9 month old - couldn't pass up trying to get a few nice portrait shots! Is that a tear? I must have scared her.
	That's better!
	Now that is a good laugh!
	Adorable!
	What a cutie pie!
	Anke with daughter Kendra. Out for a final Florida Gulf of Mexico sunset on Sunday, January 26th.
	Karen enjoying the sunset over the Gulf. Lots of seabirds on the shore.
	Doug, Anke and little Nina getting ready for the sunset. Another Florida night that jackets were required.
	Doug Schumann and Nina.
	I got Dr. Len Glaser to run back and forth right as the sun set for some action shots. Len was much better trained for the Half Marathon than Doug or myself - he could still jog along without hurting!
	Swoosh! There goes Len again!
	Bob Hauseman had a better idea for a sunset picture. Hilarious! The perfect Super Bowl Bud Light commercial!
	That's it folks..... and we still haven't seen the infamous green flash.
	Monday January 27th and time to fly back up to Connecticut. Len flew commercial and was up before 5 AM to catch his 6 AM flight. We got airborne at 10:02 AM.
	Front view of Doug's twin engine Citation Jet.
	Anke stops for a quick smile before boarding.
	Doug is loading all our luggage in the aft storage compartment.
	Airborne and climbing up to 41,000 feet for the short ride home.
	Once we were up at 41,000 feet, I could see ACROSS the full width of Florida - the Atlantic Coast and the Gulf Coast simultaneously.
	Bob and Karen are relaxing like seasoned jet setters!
	Bob Hauseman enjoying the smooth ride at 41,000 feet.
	View of Cape Fear, North Carolina on the right as we approach Wilmington.
	Approaching Long Island, New York. You can see Long Island Sound and the coast of Connecticut beyond.
	New Haven, CT on the left as Doug descends towards Bristol, Connecticut. We touched down at 1:20 PM. A 3 hour 20 minute flight! Len's flight that started at 6 AM was not due in until about 3:30 PM!
	After landing Doug and I went to P-Q Controls to check in. That night the four of us went to Bertucci's - a nice Italian restaurant. Hot tubbed it later! Tuesday January 28th - another 2 degree above zero morning.
	Doug's beautiful view of the valley all covered with snow.
	Doug and I went to the plant, then met Karen and Anke for lunch. Then off to Hartford and our United Airlines commercial flight to California with one stop at O'Hare Airport in Chicago.
	Yes - a pretty heavy snow storm greeted us after popping down out of the soup in Chicago!
	The food truck people go to work as snow accumulates everywhere.
	Distortion in the picture is due to the red tinted deicing fluid being sprayed all over the aircraft minutes before leaving our gate. You can see the robot arm in action above the wing. Twice while taxiing, the First Officer came out of the cockpit, walked to the wing area and carefully looked out the left and right side windows to inspect the wing surfaces for new icing.
	The O'Hare control tower and all the other planes are barely visible in the snow. We took off just fine and were on our way back to California. Got to see a good Sci-Fi movie on the way home - "Simone" with Al Pacino.
	John Wayne terminal just as we are ready to touch down. Clear as a bell and NO snow. No big deal as it NEVER snows in Newport Beach! Our wonderful adventure trip was all over. L Doug Schumann- Thank you again.
