When I was working for Great Lakes Airlines, I had flight benefits. This was one of the times that I took advantage of them. I was however very tired on a lot of this trip. I worked all night, and then hopped on a plane in the morning. I then stayed up until about 9 PM. That put me at almost 30 hours without sleep. I kind of got past the tired stage, and into the zombie stage toward the end of the day.

San Antonio is a beautiful city with a lot of history. We saw some very old buildings that had very unique architecture. I was very surprised to learn that the Alamo is in downtown. I had always pictured it as being out in the country. I believe that my favorite part of the city was the river walk area. This is a path in downtown that follows a river. Along this path are all kinds of really neat bridges, plants, and restaurants complete with live music. There is also a little river boat tour that we took. It can get very hot and humid down there in the summer, but it was a fun trip. We arrived there just after a thunderstorm, and it was extremely humid with a temperature of about 100 degrees. It was funny thinking that just a few hours ago I was up in Cheyenne doing a compass swing on an aircraft outside in a 40 MPH wind with a temperature in the 20's.
