Alex tours the US, from Denver to San Francisco to Las Vegas to Oakland to Hawaii, and gets to experience his first 737MAX, and the Great Pacific (aka lyrically talking about ZOA KZAK Oakland Air Route Traffic Control Center). We discuss the state of travel in this weird era, not yet post-Covid, still pandemic-ish but not yet endemic, a weird middle where international flying is depressed, but with clearer skies ahead for some.

We're back (again!),  still in a live format, thanks everyone for your kind comments since our last recording, you're the BEST!

We mentioned Sherpa, the tool to learn about travel restriction: https://apply.joinsherpa.com/travel-restrictionsAnd this book, Pacific, by Simon Winchester, about the Pacific Ocean: http://www.simonwinchester.com/pacific
