<b><b>Christmas Day I just decided to fly to Miami from Sacramento and return. I managed to spend part of Christmas day with family in Austin, TX. We hit Baton Rouge, JAX, and Opa Locka (where I had to replace the vacuum pump on the left engine).

I got the rest of my stuff, mostly tools, from the boat and then went back to Austin where all my belongings have been waiting for six months. Somehow it all managed to fit in the Aztec with some room left over! I had 700 lbs of stuff, two people, and full tanks. It took a pickup truck to carry the stuff out to the plane. The Aztec certainly deserves its moniker "Aztruck".

You know, fuel prices have gone absolutely crazy. When going cross-country these days you need to check fuel prices. I saw prices ranging from $2.65 to $5.10 per gallon. By using AirNav (http://www.airnav.com) I was able to arrange my stops to average about $3.10 for fuel. And at 22gph it makes a big difference. For example, Austin Bergstrom has fuel for $4.65. 20 nm away at Austin Lakeway it was $2.99. That one stop saves the cost of lodging and food for the whole day.

Anyway, it was a great trip with beautiful weather. The only exception was California. What's up with that?

Anyway, I needed it. It was a good way to end 2005 and begin 2006. Happy New Year!
