Our return travel went off without much trouble. The lights went out at the airport in Bali a few times while we were waiting for boarding, but that was about the extent of the excitement.
I need to remember to check if my window seats are right over the wings in the future. There were some great views of clouds that would have been even better without the wing in the way.
We got put in an extended holding pattern before landing at SFO. Our approach from the north meant great views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Palace of Fine Arts, and the church on the hill that I used to see from the dining room windows at my old apartment. The apartment itself was under the fog, of course.
My motorcycle started up without a hitch, and I'm now at Quincy and Sasha's place. It's an odd feeling to be a visitor in "my" city.
