My mom is (still in the air as of right now) flying back to Taiwan on CI 005 LAX - TPE. She is planning to stay there for a couple of months so I wanted to see her before she leaves for Taiwan. On Tuesday, I flew OAK - ONT on Southwest and there really isn’t much to write about. The only thing happened was that the B737-300’s airflow pipe (??) was stuck so the engine couldn’t start. They had to tow the plane back to the gate and the mechanics fixed (or adjusted... I really don’t know what they did) the plane in about 10 minutes.
Anyway, the highlight of this trip was visiting our recently bought house in Corona. Other than that, I played a whole lot with my cute pug - Frodo.

On my way back, I wanted to try Virgin America for the first time. I have to say, I am impressed with the services and timeliness for the entire trip! I hope they keep up the quality services! I’m going to stop blabbering now... let the pictures speak for themselves!
